Commodore Remix

Dreamstation 2 tracker/sequencer now available: http://www.dreamstation2.com/

*Selectable tracker AND Piano roll sequencing options
*Supports VST, Dxi and MIDI
*Record audio directly into tracks
*Remixes of C64 tunes 'Sweet and Sour' and 'Belong' in the demo folder
*Better than Renoise!
*Better than Fruity Loops!
*Those last two points are just my personal biased opinion!





DSDXi VA softsynth (based on the SID chip) is now FREE



Dreamstation 1 tracker is now FREE



Message ends. Goodnight!

Don't quite see the point of using old sk00l tracker beside the piano roll editing. I guess they were aiming for hard core tracker fans as well.

Anyways, looks pretty interesting. Will try this one for sure.

Lots 'o people just like the interface of trackers (just like some people prefer a good ole' Atari joystick to an XBox 360 control pad). Damn, choice is good

I thought exactly the same thing when I first tried it, but after a few sessions I was instinctively flicking between the two editing methods like I'd been working that way forever!

Some things are just much quicker to do with a tracker (mainly step sequencing of intricate note sequences/drum programming) and some things are much easier with the piano roll (setting note lengths, velocity, etc).

Let us know what you think if you get around to trying it.

I see Tonka and Jeron Tel in the opening credits.

Playing "Belong" sent my CPU performance to 94% - 100% and a bit of clipping. This is my 2Ghz, Compaq Persario.

LOL! That's just because I am a beta tester and Jeroen gave his permission for the S&S remix. I don't make any money from it, sadly.

Trackers is good, and dreamstation has some special sound
I tryed Dreamstation1 a few years ago, it was verry cpu intensive, though I did not have a fast cpu back then lol

DSDXI2 has indeed got a very special sound to it. It's the only synth I know which can make a classic C64 PWM lead with 3 clicks of the mouse! I keep nagging Brian to update it a little, but he apparently has plans for a new soft synth (and drum synth) for DS2.

That must have been some kinda SLOW PC, BTW. I used to run DS1 on a 500mhz PC with the latency at 20ms!

That's not normal - it's around 50% on my Athlon 2100 with 1GB of RAM.

Do me a favour and send me a PM stating your soundcard, ASIO settings etc. Also, could you try a restart and re-open Belong afresh and sell me what happens then?

I think it was like the first pc I even had and that was a pentium 120mhz with like 128mb ram or something LOL

LOL! My first PC had a Cyrix 100mhz processor. It would stutter if I played stereo MP3's and took about 20 mins to normalize a wav file! To burn a CD, I used to have to delete everything I could off the harddisk beforehand as I only had a 800mb drive!

Ahh, I can laugh about it now but at the time...

Interesting stuff. I shall have to have a look at this!

Indeedy dooo.. I started out on trackers so anything with the old "c-4 -- 501 -- 40 " style format always makes me smile.

Nice tracker look.
Ill try it some more tomorrow, sounded quite nice

Thanks for t he tip!
