I thought recording your own samples for trackers was fairly common and since these cards expose the mic and line inputs for use, they'll be usable for whatever one's heart may desire inside their limited scopes. At least you can do the recording on the same computer you use for tracker composing …

yes it is safe to trim inner edges on my test mobos it was indeed tight but not insane, guess it depends from isa slot to isa slot.... sorry for the tightness ... No worries! I'll just trim the thickness of a sheet of paper and I'm sure it'll give me enough slack. I just freaked out a bit when I …

Got the card and it looks very nice. Like it was mentioned already, the connector is definitely oversized to the point of being dangerous to remove from motherboards. Is it safe to shave inner edges of the connector down a little to make it fit less tightly? The forces required for insertion and …

Oh yeah, sorry! I swear I read the thread before but I forgot the context. I'd say they're close enough listening on my headphones, there's only so much you can do when the samples differ.

OK, so.. Just listen to these and tell me whether they would fool you as being recorded from a Sound Canvas or not. Whether it sounds better or worse than the previous EQ settings is another discussion completely.. Sound Canvas is what Sound Canvas is, it has a fairly balanced EQ preset and modest …

I didn't realize that OPL3 stuff is sensitive to speed of processors. I thought I could do that on a pentium 133, 166 and 200 and I also have 486 and 386 computers. Now what? I was also planning to use OPL3 on a PIII 800, means I cannot do it? Cheers, You can but the faster you go the likelier it …

So I thought I'd fire off some quick tests as well because the topic piqued my interest and I have a 486 here right now that I can easily bench. I have here a Zida 4DPS 2.11 with jumpers set to 5x86-133, tightest timings possible (all maxed except memory RAS at 3 and memory speed FASTER) and 2 CPUs: …

I mean the cores are at probably same levels of performance but the AMD chip has only half the L1 of Intel. Performance parity is only reached with 16kb AMD chips. More cache = more better It REALLY does not make that much of a difference. https://thandor.net/benchmark/32 8KB Am486 100 is neck and …

Awesome stuff! Quick, followup as well on a games like Heretic, is it best to use General Midi or Sound Canvas on the McCake? Also, which sound mode would I use there? Sorry for all the questions, I only had Adlib and SB Pro cards growing up! General MIDI, which soundfont is up to you. I'm not sure …
