GENERAL STUFF
|
|
*************
|
|
|
|
Anyone know when "Composers contest" results will be released?
|
|
I'm ready to sixth (or move) that compo directory. "Epic Fallacy" was
|
|
the best out of the dozen or so I downloaded. Certainly a top five within
|
|
the contest.
|
|
|
|
HAVING problems uploading? Have you tried ftp.eng.ufl.edu instead of
|
|
wasp.eng.ufl.edu or eng.ufl.edu? I believe the "WASP" ftp site has
|
|
moved to "HORNET." Same location just a different machine. The
|
|
"ftp.eng.ufl.edu" should automatically route you to this new address.
|
|
|
|
I noticed a few corrupt files this week: gsn0606.zip dg15nfo?.zip, a
|
|
few other ANSI's and some music. Be sure to use BINARY when transferring
|
|
files of compressed nature.
|
|
|
|
AS USUAL:
|
|
|
|
The TOP25DL does not work properly. Until the "ftp.syslog" is enabled
|
|
(I am working on it) it will still keep sending you old or no stats.

Dear Demo Creator/Group/Enthusiast:
|
|
|
|
TO THE POINT
|
|
|
|
I am creating a demo CD-ROM and would like your permission to include any
|
|
and/or all of your productions on this CD.
|
|
|
|
SNOWMAN AND THE PROJECT
|
|
|
|
Snowman and I are collaborating on this CD project. Snowman is the organizer
|
|
of the Music Contest ][ (MC][) and will be taking care of the Digital Audio
|
|
portion of this CD. I am a maintainer of the internet demo site
|
|
(ftp.eng.ufl.edu) and will be gathering all the demos for the CD ROM portion
|
|
as well as funding all or most of the project.
|
|
|
|
SPECIFIC INFORMATION
|
|
|
|
The Digital Audio (or "Red Book audio" = 44.1kHz) portion of the CD will
|
|
consist mainly of songs entered in Snowman's MC][ contest. I highly recommend
|
|
musicians/composers as individuals or groups to enter. If you do not want to
|
|
enter MC][ but feel you have a great contribution (composed whenever and for
|
|
whatever) then certainly submit that (to Snowman or me) because there will be
|
|
some space for non MC][ music--anywhere from one to seven songs will be non
|
|
MC][ related. We anticipate having 40-50 minutes (i.e. 450 megs) worth of CD
|
|
music (10-15 songs) mastered using a Gravis Ultrasound (unless someone
|
|
recommends/donates something better) and DAT recorder.
|
|
|
|
The data portion of this disk will consist of MC][ related material, demos,
|
|
and possible other demo related items (i.e. music disks, disk mags, source
|
|
code). I anticipate this taking up between 120 to 200 megs of space. I will
|
|
be gathering most of my demos from the internet and relying on you people for
|
|
the rest--those hard to find demos that no one uploads to the internet demo
|
|
site. You can help me acquire these files by a) Uploading what we don't have
|
|
to ftp.eng.ufl.edu, b) Sending them to me via mail using floppies or QIC-80
|
|
formatted tapes that I will return, or c) Calling my data/fax/voice line and
|
|
uploading directly to me. The people who really need to help me with this are
|
|
typically those with BBS's or big collectors. Hey, look at the benefit--would
|
|
you rather have demos on your hard drive, floppy disk, or CD ROM?
|
|
|
|
WHEN AND HOW MUCH
|
|
|
|
Due to MC][ ending late August we will not be able to release this CD till mid
|
|
October. Our plans at the present time are to have 200-300 of these CD's
|
|
pressed and sell them for approximately $13 ppd. for people in the US and $15
|
|
to people elsewhere (the final price depends on the overall cost but these
|
|
estimated figures will be pretty close). The reason for the small pressing is
|
|
twofold: 1) We do not know the demand and 2) We do not have the funds to
|
|
press more. If interested in helping with distributing/funding then contact
|
|
us so we can increase our run and decrease our price.
|
|
|
|
Just so you know we are not doing this project to make a profit or exploit any
|
|
person/group--that has already been done. The CD cost formula goes something
|
|
like this:
|
|
|
|
CD COST = AT cost CD manufacturing + misc. + postage.
|
|
|
|
For people who buy a lot (i.e. distributors) we will knock off the "misc."
|
|
charge but require you to not mark up the CD more than 10%. Remember that the
|
|
idea of this project is to create a unique product available to the masses,
|
|
not to line ANYONE'S pocket.
|
|
|
|
ORDERING
|
|
|
|
Thirteen bucks gets you get a quality CD in a jewel box with 40 minutes of
|
|
Digital Audio you can play on your regular CD player and 200 megs of demos.
|
|
Want one? You may want to reserve a copy by contacting me (info listed above)
|
|
and providing me with a way to reach you when the CD comes out.
|
|
|
|
ANYTHING ELSE WE SHOULD KNOW
|
|
|
|
We welcome contributions/ideas on a name for this CD as well as ART for the
|
|
insert and cover (front/back)--which will most likely be two colors (four if
|
|
we get a decent picture and cheap printing quotation).
|
|
|
|
If interested you may submit a TEXT file to me about your group/demo/whatever
|
|
and I will include it on the CD. There is no deadline for submitting demos or
|
|
TEXT but the sooner you get it to me the better--I prefer to have it by
|
|
August.
|
|
|
|
FINALLY
|
|
|
|
I do not expect to hear from everybody I send this to and will be surprised if
|
|
I heard from half the people who see this. On that note if I do not hear from
|
|
you I understand that it is okay to include your "freeware" demo production
|
|
meant for "mass distribution" on this CD I have been talking about.
|
|
|
|
Be sure your friends and other demo groups see this so it gets widely
|
|
distributed. This CD will be a winner if we have actual contributions from
|
|
the scene--music, art, stories, comments/suggestions, etc. so be sure to
|
|
contact us.
|
|
|
|
Out there,
