Re: Dear Jim, can you fix it for me to have music on my c64.

Looks like the guy's OK for the moment. So here's where we stop: Thank you for all your help, i really appreciate it. One last question to ask though, i see many datacassette decks on ebay and they seem to go very cheap with low postage, but which would be more useful to me, the floppy disk drives o...

Re: Why are the Youtube C64 showoffs so damn LAZY?

This guy isn't bad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yb7iITAf2RI&feature=related. I can't stand the style, which I would usually slam as bang-bang repetitive, but he's actually composed something substantial and arranged it for his nice shiny PC-interfaced 64. And perhaps we should invite this guy...

Re: Fancy creating a theme tune for my podcast??!

Do you want this music I had arranged for somebody else?

It may as well go to a good home. It's only a rough mix here but it has promise. Sounds very 'gamey', mid-90s era.

Your 'fiddling' video doesn't load, but if you do get up to that kind of thing yourself you make up for it with your Freqrexy video.

Dear Jim, can you fix it for me to have music on my c64...?

I received an email from someone called Lyam a night or two ago wanting to set up a studio-centred C64 music system from scratch. I thought we should help him out and so I've invited him here after giving him the chance to say no. The preamble begins: Hello, I would love to start to get into making ...

Re: I found another nice 'toy' music program!

As the late great Frankie Howerd once said, the proof of the pudding is in the club. And in that spirit I set out to see if the program had any studio possibilities, however slight. For a £7.99 nippers' program, what do you think? But I ran a short test anyway by running two copies of the program s...

The cheating continues with DANCING FEATS: http://roms.zophar.net/commodore-64/games/t64/dancing-feats-1983-softsync-inc.-cr-ass-.t64. Set your rhythm going and twiddle the joystick to get your error-free melodies! Classic! Details can be found in Zzap, issue 1: http://www.scs-trc.net/zzap64/zzap001...

Re: Wanted: Music for Game Project - Office Worker

Here's a first try at in-game music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvVc-oHW8tY

As there's no office-type sound effects in General MIDI, I may as well record the whole lot in proper audio and you can have that. It'll come out a lot more polished.

As it stands, hear this demo mix.

Nice, if pretentious.

I much prefer Helen Shapiro though. :rofl:

Re: Why are the Youtube C64 showoffs so damn LAZY?

I would contact one or two of those people and ask if they have made any music with that equipment. If they haven't, than maybe they are lazy and just wanted to make/have something cool. I think I'll be lazy too and not bother. I'd much rather fire up my own gear and do it myself. I've got some cha...

Re: Instant Music... what a bleeding good way to cheat!

I don't really have any artistic vision as such. It just comes together as I go along. Whether I use Instant Music or rely on my own ability, the arrangements are what makes the recordings for me. I'm a duffer at music but I think I know what sounds good and how sounds compliment one another. But wh...

Re: Why are the Youtube C64 showoffs so damn LAZY?

I'm not saying there was nothing to see, just that for what there was the videos were overlong, lazy, boring and repetitive. (And I'm afraid I may end up being even more unforgiving and scathing in this post as once again the forum has already wiped my reply to this topic, put up the Enter Username ...

Why are the Youtube C64 showoffs so damn LAZY?

Why is it when you tune into Youtube to watch some guy show off his great little modified C64, does he actually do sod all with it? Take a swatch at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0-wimNNh3Q&feature=related I mean, is this guy taking the liquid for flip's sake? He's obviously done a great...
