Ben Daglish is no longer with us
A legend checks out way too early...
You've probably heard by now about the passing of Ben Daglish on 1st October. Having beaten cancer once, many of us were lulled into a false sense of security by the stability of his condition. However, following a short hospitalisation, he died of complications on Monday morning.
This is Remix64 so I don't need to list all the tunes he did: you have HVSC for that. But we'll all miss him terribly: he was the beating heart of the scene: not just a figure from history, but a living breathing legend who many of us had the privilege to meet, befriend, and even perform and compose with. We all have our own memories, and people all over the Internet are sharing theirs: he touched so many lives it's incredible.
Rock on, Ben. Give Richard our love. ❤
FEATSTEP Remix 2! (Android App)
FEATSTEP Remix 2!
(Android) will remix .mp3
Audio / .mp4
Video to play as close to the 'tune' of your .SIDs as possible! Performance is better on newer devices; it sometimes runs with occational & inermittant pauses on my 4 year old tablet. The following demonstartion video was recorded with the software running on a PC for this reason.
While availible on Googe Play! for $2.99 (..in Canada only)..
I am sharing the current version with the worldly C64 .SID scene for FREE via this download link :
http://www.featstep.ca/featstepromo.apk
(This is the same file as the $2.99 Google Play release.)
FEATSTEP REMIX! (1 and 2) has been in constant development for about 3 years.
Developing this software I thought I could support myself with sales, though I have never actually successfully sold 1 copy to-date.
Any promotion you can do will be greatly appreciated, whether users download it for FREE from the promo link, or choose to pay $2.99 on Google Play. (Please concider paying as a Donation, I am now near bankrupt and homeless from working on it 24/7 and not selling any copies).
Also, If you enjoy FEATSTEP Remix 2!
please share it with your friends 😊 (Either for FREE or at $2.99) ;)

Mobile layout for Remix64.com
Hey all, it was about time for a design overhaul of our beloved Remix64.com.
The new layout is tidy and works with your mobile.
Mind that there are still a lot of sub-pages (Tracks, Remixer infos) that need to be redone to work in your phone. This will happen little by little, so thanks for your patience.
