The point in "wasting your time and energy" in recreating a MOD of a song that's already been done is to let other people here music that normally wouldn't get played on any radio station. I've gotten MODs that have been nothing but samples directly stripped off a CD. No, it doesn't take any talent to do this, but if the quality is good enough, it can be just as good as something off the CD. And why not just listen to the original?

Now let's not all get into one of those stupid debates "but tracker music isn't real music" etc, but if you went out and BOUGHT 15-20 hours of music on say CDs (which would probably be about 20 full-length albums) you would have spent, at least here, at least $200. even if you have to pay to get Kosmic releases, chances are you're getting it for relatively *nothing*. even if you were one of those unfortunate (or rich) souls ftping everything through America Online, you'd only end up spending about $30 vs the $200. throw in the price of 15 blank 90 minute tapes of course, because that'll give you the portability and listen-anywhere capability the CDs give you. you've still spent at most less than 1/4 of what the music industry would charge you, and probably more like 1/8th. Of course, it's a really poor system even in comparision with the current corporate rock industry - whereas even on the most greedy labels the artists get _something_ back, here the only people profiting are the people providing the overhead. It's sort of like a music industry where the only people that get any money are the people who make the cases and put them on the shelves, and that's got alot to do i think with why nobody else is doing it too much :) oh jeez did i get carried away. - Dan ----------------- Date: Tue, 28 Feb 95 06:50 EET From: Dan Subject: [KLF-TALK:1491] things...

With the ridiculous prices charged for cassette singles, who > can afford to go out and by every song you ever liked? Well, just to be a dork.. I can't afford the kind of space on my hard drive required for 1 meg 2 1/2 minute songs of all looped samples. A remix is one thing.. taking a song from the world of trackers or the world of corporate music and turning into something completely different is a wonderful thing. (unlike many of the "remixes" i've heard in the world of corporate music: "It's like the same song, y'see.. but it's longer. "), but making a mod into what is basically a recording of some already recorded song?? Sure it may be a challenge, but so is running 20 miles, and I don't take avi files of me running 20 miles and post them on the net. There are issues here of copywrite infringement, disk storage, bandwith, and other things, when it would sound better if you taped it off your friends album or a clear radio station.

If you're talking about songs that change tempo on every note, (can't seem to find either of those mentioned on me HD.. though I have PIM2), then there is an added effect if you ever use all the notes. Most of the notes you put every other at the least, if not every fourth or whatever, and they're evenly spaced. A note slide on _every_ line creates a series of slightly syncopated "cheated" notes.. or you can use just one before a normal note as a kind of grace note or flam :) -- Serve the Computer.

Yes and no.. it came from the days of MODs on the Amiga. But it wasn't because they couldn't switch BPM. It was a way of altering the flow of the whole track, so you could give it a swing feel.. ie *in st3* A09 A06 A09 A06 A09 A06 etc etc.. this is often called "Floating Tempo" .. and is used in alot of jazzy mods it also works great for house (as demonstrated in chiba city lights) peace basehead ----------------- Date: Wed, 1 Mar 95 05:13 EET From: South Street North Studios Subject: [KLF-TALK:1516] Re: More bothersome file locating On Wed, 1 Mar 1995, Dan wrote: > hehe, you tell him :) after all, that's the same basehead who was telling > me the other day that someone in florida has sold like 300 tapes of klf > music at like $15 a tape or some outrageous price, and he was so disturbed > by it. me, i'm just disturbed that he would believe that. and anyway, if > it really were true, what would i do about it?

Thats weird .. I always thought a recording to a tape for personal usage went under the 'Archival onto audio recording media is allowed for personal use only.' for commercial purposes where money is involved, then no, that is illegal even tho I highly doubt that KFMF would go as far as to sue on a small basis of a couple sales of KFMF tapes ..

Actually, I had my PC hooked up to our mixing desk today and ran FT2 and a couple of tunes (all containing 8 bit samples, I might add), the engineer couldn't believe his ears. Maybe not my music, but he was really impressed with the quality of playback of FT2. It does, to me at any rate, sound better than any other tracker.

Although the actual sound quality is bad, the effects implementation is as good as the GUS support (we hope.) Anyway, the point is, if any of you guys know where to find the SDK's for soundcards you'd like supported, I'd like to know :) Ok, that's it, happy lent :) -- ,,:::[ kim davies ]:::.. ::::::[ statix [oxygen/kosmic], kimba@it.com.au ]:::::: '':::[ 31x50'16"S 115x46'19"E, http://www.it.com.au/ ]:::`` ----------------- Date: Thu, 2 Mar 95 03:25 EET From: Andrew Voss Subject: [KLF-TALK:1549] Re: re ? re ?, SHIT re : > > This mailinglist is going all the wrong way... > I receive 20 to 30 emails a day, and they all suck big time.... > Starting out in the morning with deleting all the klf-talk emails might be a sign to > abandon this list, right ? ;-( > > it's a damn shame... > > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > JHUYSMAN@BAUSCH.NL Bausch Datacom BV Tel +31-10-4137055 Fax +31-10-4137264 > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Note : All views expressed are personal opinions. > Although I agree with you that the number of posts is getting a bit burdensome on this list, I don't think it should be a reason to leave. When you have as many people as you do on KLF-Talk, it's inevitable that a lot of messages will be posted. However, I think people should consider the importance/value of their message when posting and keep in mind how many people's mailboxes it will fill. I am getting a little tired myself of seeing messages with just tiny little replies like "Yeah, FT2 sucks". This kind of chatter should take place on the IRC, i.e. #trax, where it is much easier to get quick response. Another thought is to take some of the music talk to its OWN list, like MODtalk (at lack for a better name). That way if you want to know about KFMF without flooding your e-mailbox, you can do so. So I'd like to tell a few people (eg Josh Rodman, Red Horizon, Chris Campbell ) to _please cut down_ on your posts. Think twice if what you're saying has any importance. Believe me, I've cancelled out of a bunch of my own replies for this very reason. I hope the list remains useful and enjoyed in this way. - Andy V. - Phoenix[Kosmic] - vossa@rpi.edu ----------------- Date: Thu, 2 Mar 95 03:47 EET From: Andrew Voss Subject: [KLF-TALK:1550] Re: > I agree...that would be cool.

It'd be easier to record the song off of the radio and give it away than it would be to find a high quality .mod file, record it, and then give it away. Most .mod recreations can't be considered good enough to replace the original. I have an .s3m version of NIN's March of the Pigs that comes dang close, but I'm not recording it and giving it away. ______________________________________________________________________________ Jacob Cossairt's signature: ! @ @ !

My main setup is QEMM 7.04 and it works just fine with that. I s'pose EMM386 works too, but I haven't tested it. FT2 allocates 5.6MB of EMS perfectly... So it should be programmed for EMS usage. cya -- jester (Tobias Reckhard) jester@rbg.informatik.th-darmstadt.de To obtain the FAQ for alt.binaries.sounds.mods (in order of preference) : - finger jester@rbhp21.rbg.informatik.th-darmstadt.de - WWW http://grfn.org/~zaphod/absm-faq/index.html - email jester@rbg.informatik.th-darmstadt.de -----------------
