Again on quality filter

Hi Paul,

please, do something about it before it's too late.

Some "so called" remixers and or "musicians" should understand that there's a *big* difference between remixing/cover a track and simply "take-the-mod-(maybe-change-some-sample)-convert-it-to-mp3".

Downloading an mp3 of this kind is a big disappointment.

cheers.

I agree totally.

A fine example:
Desert Dream II Remix by V0yager/DarkLight .

The mod rendered to WAV. Add some effects, like stereoexpander, reverb and channel delay. One or two instruments changed, but still lo quality. This is no different from rendering a SID and adding drumloops to it.
In no way do I call this a remix.

Shame on those doing this kind of crap.

Yes ... I know ... it's even easier to do that sort of thing with Amiga music, having access to mods and whatnot ...

I haven't heard back yet on getting it integrated with r64 ... until then I"m going to have to implement a temporary voting/rating system. Remixes with negative marks (such as "this is just a mod -> wav conversion") will need to be removed.

Back to work ...

Markus,

Did you get my email back yet?

Post by **LMan** » 04/03/2003 - 7:54

Yes I got it back... and the delayed posting of my mail was actually my fault. I put it in my outbox and forgot to actually send it away...

Writing a reply now...

Just a note on this, in case people are wondering, Markus and I are working on getting a voting system in place - the goal is to make it integrated with R64 in a manner similar to RKO.
