Anyone know when "Composers contest" results will be released?
|
|
|
|
Thanks go to TINYZ for the new "header" for this file.
|
|
|
|
I got the TOP25DL program to work correctly after fixing a few things
|
|
in the program so it searches the NEW ftp.syslog file properly. The
|
|
results for most of this week can be found in the /news directory under
|
|
the top25dl name. Unfortunately I can not mail the list because it
|
|
is impossible for me to run my file (on wasp) against the LOG (on
|
|
hornet) because I do not have a directory on hornet nor a path to the
|
|
LOG file. Thus, the program will remain disabled for now except for
|
|
(probably) weekly manual updates. BTW: Shape (okay, nothing really
|
|
exciting) was downloaded 144 times in 6 days!

((GENERAL INFORMATION))
|
|
========================================================================
|
|
|
|
1. Cool new tunes
|
|
a. Firestorm Music disk by Firelight
|
|
just download and try this one
|
|
/music/disks/firestrm.zip
|
|
b. Damage Music disk by multiple musicians
|
|
this is one of the best mdp packs I've seen
|
|
there are about a half dozen musicians and 10 songs
|
|
/music/disks/damg/damg0694.zip
|
|
Cool new programs
|
|
a. Capamod version 1.4
|
|
in my opinion, the most accurate MOD player around
|
|
/music/programs/players/cmod114.zip
|
|
b. Textmode intro
|
|
has nothing to do with music, but I thought it was
|
|
pretty cool
|
|
/alpha/NEW/shape!.zip
|
|
|
|
2. DMP News
|
|
Well, only one new version of DMP was uploaded this week.
|
|
However, that one version (DMP300.ZIP) has been locking my
|
|
system a little bit. This only occurs when I shell and do
|
|
other things like PKZIP or QEDIT (which I do a LOT). I
|
|
still made the swith to version 3.00 though and am just
|
|
using it without shell until a new version comes out. But,
|
|
I havn't gotten off my lazy ass and written Otto Chrons
|
|
about this little bug, so it might not be fixed next ver.
|
|
|
|
3. 4DMP (by Snowman)
|
|
I released a little program last weekend called 4DMP300.
|
|
It has been difficult to explain, but I will endeavour to
|
|
do so now. When you are playing a song in DMP, the bottom
|
|
half of the screen is occupied by the sample names. Now,
|
|
whenever a sample is being played, the appropriate channel
|
|
number appears next to that sample. However, once you hit
|
|
channel 10, it starts going "A", "B", and so on.
|
|
What I did was to redraw and redefine about 26 high ASCII
|
|
characters, so that the numbers "10", "11", "12", etc.
|
|
would appear in ONE character. Now, whenever you play a
|
|
song in DMP that has more than 9 channels, you will see a
|
|
"10" instead of an "A". This would be kind of trivial if
|
|
it were the only thing I changed, so I also included an
|
|
enhanced dmp.ini file. This will actually make DMP look
|
|
pretty! I can't belive Otto kept that yucky color scheme
|
|
for two years. Well, just go download it and have fun
|
|
(/music/programs/players/4dmp300.zip).
|
|
|
|
4. Tiny Play Deleted
|
|
Hello? I had to delete 2 duplicate uploads of Tiny Play.
|
|
If its not in the /incoming/music dir, check the appropriate
|
|
directory /music/programs/players and see if it was moved
|
|
there.
|
|
|
|
5. Restructuring of /music Directory
|
|
This week, I made several new subdirectories under music
|
|
and put the "a", "p", and "m" directories in there. It was
|
|
brought to my attention by Shades (he and I kind of quarrel
|
|
on IRC, but he does have a good idea once in a while :), and
|
|
I recognize that there needed to be more general division of
|
|
the files. If you want to see how things are laid out now,
|
|
just read the music.txt file under /music.
|
|
|
|
6. Response to "Anyone read these things"
|
|
Well, after my question last week asking people if they
|
|
actually read these articles in DEMONEWS, I had an over-
|
|
whelmingly good response. More than a dozen letters were
|
|
written which expressed an appreciation for these little
|
|
weekly articles. I just need that kind of affrimation
|
|
every once in a while to give me the energy to continue.
|
|
Thank you.
|
|
|
|
7. Composer's Contest 1 Results
|
|
NO, I DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL BE IN. Please do not
|
|
keep writing me asking me this. Mike Phillip's address is
|
|
digoxy@metronet.com.
|
|
|
|
8. No .review
|
|
Originally, I was going to start putting .review files in
|
|
some of the music program's directories. But then I realized
|
|
its not my place to tell you what not good. I don't have a
|
|
problem telling you what IS good, but thats only my opinion.
|
|
|
|
9. Amiga-Net
|
|
Whether you know it or not, our computer musical heritage
|
|
comes from the Amiga scene. I have been downloading lots of
|
|
goodies this past week, and I'll probably post most of them
|
|
next week.
|
|
|
|
10. Snowman the Salesman
|
|
Lately, I've been feeling like all I do is promote things
|
|
like my Music Contest ][ and this Demonews. Well, guess what?
|
|
I'm going to continue to do so until the contest is over. :)
|
|
So if you want to get to know the REAL Snowman, talk to me
|
|
sometime after September 3rd.
|
|
|
|
11. Music Contest ][ (the aggressive campaign)
|
|
After that clarification in #10, I must tell you all that
|
|
July is Music Contest ][ Promotion Month. Have a MC][ party
|
|
at your university, give your family MC][ gifts for their
|
|
birthdays, go out and eat a MC][ burger. That's right, I need
|
|
YOUR help. Tell all your friends about Music Contest ][, and
|
|
if they say "Music Contest ][ sucks", punch them really hard
|
|
in the head and tell them the error of their ways. :) (just
|
|
kidding about telling them the error of their ways).
|
|
The dude who was going to write a nice little program to
|
|
handle the entry shuffling slipped out the back door or
|
|
something, so I'm going to have to do it myself.
|
