Personally I am fine with what you entered. I played your track without effects just to see how it sounded, and apart from the unbalanced volume levels I thought it still held up very well compositionally.

Now, if everyone else thinks "on second thought, SunVox is totally unfair" then I'll have to limit the rules on what's allowed and what's not for the future. For this round though, just give yourself a pat on the back.

I'm just here to have a good time and hone my skills. I certainly don't want the other competitors to feel like it is not fair due to the software differences. If there is too much feelings like that, maybe Sunvox should not be allowed?

I'll let +- be the judge, but I really don't want others to feel like it is unfair.

Actually normalizing is super easy as long as I get rational numbers and voters don't switch scales mid-voteform. If you think that standardizing the votes would result in fairer scores, that's another issue, but as far as "more work on my part" it's really not, until people try to make it difficult ;)

For example...

Entry 1 - 27 out of 43 oranges
Entry 2 - 9000 out of 4500 apples
Entry 3 - Precisely 48% of π
Entry 4 - About negative 78 womblegargoyles, but only on Tuesdays.

Voting scales notes: I like oranges better than apples, but I like pie better than both (lol), and I am really scared of womblegargoyles, but fortunately there is a negative number of them so that is actually a good thing.

:) Good luck normalizing that :)

But seriously, I really think you should standardize the voting scale. I suggest x out of 10 or x/100

As for making samples... well no one is forced to do that either. I don't want anyone stressing out or feeling like it's a chore. If you want to try it, here are some easy ideas. Also sending 4 of 6 samples and saying "forget it" to the other two is much better than sending 0 samples.

1. make some chip sample, draw it in milkytracker maybe.
2. find something from http://ccmixter.org/view/media/samples/browse
3. should be easy, pick anything from your oldest mod you have.
4. take a cd rip, play it a few octaves lower in schism with some heavy filtering going on, and use alt-O in the order list to write the pattern to a sample.
5. say something in a mic; record a clip from the news; find a vocal sample you already have.
6. anything!

>>5584 Only person left to vote is me!! I'll get to it soon and then put up the results.

So when do the results come out? Is it after the predetermined time? or does it ever end early if you receive all the votes from participants?

And now I don't know where to get samples for hc07.
Any sample I ever made was hand drawn sine wave or pulse or something like that. Or ripped from a CD.

Your one pattern looper is cool. Try to finish it, or let me try... Or let it loop for a while.

I doubt I would disqualify you for distorting one sample. Actually I'm a bit disappointed at the general lack of sample editing that people have done, I guess people are being either indifferent, or conservative to avoid a DQ? Remember: "It's easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to get permission."

If you have something specific you want to comment on, you can always make non-anonymous comments instead/in addition to, on this board.

As for self-comments... sure? People have left "comments" about their own tracks in the past but they've been fairly silly. But if you have something to say about your own track, then sure. I think those are safe to identify.

Here is what I was planning to enter with. Was in bed all day yesterday.
It is still not to my liking on some points, but it is pretty much finished as of today. http://tct1501.net/m/hc06.4.mp3

Will I continue to anonymously be Zackery Calhoun until I post from a different IP address???

Sample submission deadline for round 7 is May 31. I should write that on the website somewhere.

I'll definitely get my samples together for round 7. Is there a sample submission deadline?

Hey, no problem with the board... I was just offering in case something else was needed. This works fine though.

>Dissecting Wild Bunnies (not as gross as it sounds)

I lol'd.

Nice article!

Personally I have no problems with a monolithic thread but maybe other people would prefer multiple topics. /sc/ is pretty low traffic and so I didn't want to take it over entirely but maybe a separate board would be appreciated by some?

I don't think you need to break this thread up, I think there are few splinter discussions that aren't resolved.

>before 11:59PM GMT -5

Did you mean after? The general rule is if I get your track before the votepack goes up, you're fine, and I'm never exactly on time with it. Frequently I'll give anyone that wants it a day or two extra, but not this time.

And I got your entry so it doesn't matter for now...

>>5552
Sample rips are fine and expected. My first released module has samples I made myself, and I expect a lot of people might have more interesting samples for their first released module, so that's why that clause is in there. Also note the line, "If you can't do either of these, go back in your tracking history as far as you can." I'm not about to exclude anyone because they don't have archives of their oldest stuff.

Comment too long; full version here.

though the screencap there says Schism Tracker and it's totally Scream Tracker. (though it'd be fun to have a switch to make the interface more ST3-ish, it would probably be a nightmare to code from the way it's built now)

I keep either not having the time or forgetting to participate in these compos. :(

I name dropped Schism and this forum! :)

I'm fortunate to still retain all my stuff going back to when I started, but I know of some people have lost their older stuff due to hard drive crashes, etc. I guess if there's anybody that lost their stuff, they would need to find the oldest song they still have, right?

On that note I will enter something. Might be just a one-pattern looper dealy though.

I doubt I will get anything finished for this one. :/ Too bad because I was really excited about this sample pack...

I would be surprised if OpenMPT was capable of doing everything properly though. ;)

Pew-pew.

As for the wiki, an index page would be nice to begin with, before adding magic pages, but I barely have a clue what is going on.

With aconnect -i and -o you can list input and output.
with aconnect [sender port] [receiver port] you can create links between these ports, so this way you can hookup other programs as well. But apparently Schism doesnt have to be linked particularly. Well, I think :)

btw: Why is pressing two notes simultaneously not being registered in the pattern editor? With keyjazzing on the normal keyboard you have to hold shift... This should also be not necessary, I'd think, but if you press a chord, only one note is written. Wouldnt it be nice if it were to do what you'd think it would do?!

Strawberry Perl comes with GCC 4.4.7, which only seems to generate 64-bit code (trying to build with -m32 results in a big fat wall of errors). If not for SDL being 32-bit only on Windows (wtf!!) I'd be fine, but alas....

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll see if I can track down and install 4.4.something.

So, what I do?

IIRC there's a remapped keyboard layout somewhere for it, and also some GUI-changing plugin or something to make it look more like IT. Maybe we could magic a page about how to massage other trackers into the IT style onto the wiki or something?

On my end, I haven't been checking daily anyways.

I just made a native build of Schism Tracker on Windows. Doesn't actually run yet, but it does build, and oh man, it took WAY more effort than it should have. As it turns out, most of my problems were Strawberry Perl's fault! It stuck itself at the front of $PATH, and for whatever reason, it comes with its own version of gcc (?!?!?!!!!!), so that running gcc was starting THAT instead of the one I'd installed, and where I'd put SDL. This would have completely eluded me, except that when I tried dumping all of SDL's files into the build dir, gcc complained that it was an unrecognized file format. What's more, the gcc that came with Strawberry was 64-bit, and SDL is 32-bit. Nice helpful error message there.

Well, that took me several days to track down and figure out what was going on, but once I did (and moved Strawberry Perl's entry right to the very end of $PATH where it should've been from the start), everything worked...... except for that thing where Schism Tracker crashes on startup for some reason. Finally can fix that, though.

Stupid Windows.

You can use /scdev for posting wishes and bugs.

Good first Schism production, methinks.

2 * Alt-X strips all effects, but there's nothing to drop only ones that aren't paired with notes.

>5500

Mask select is even better :)
But currently setting the mask not to include the note column isn't possible. Maybe that should be implemented too so you can mask select every column you want.

Something else, I always wondered if there is a function for the effect column similar to what alt-w does for the volume column. So all the effect stuff gets wiped what isnt used by a note. I mean, Schism does have stuff no one knows about :D

>>I look forward to learning the interface.
Ekorren, then what do you normally use?
