Re: Weren't sound artists frustrated to know that very few players would be hearing the true sound of their creations?

Posted on 2024-04-25, 15:26

I've often wondered what kind of magic you could create with an all out balls to the wall modern MIDI synth. I mean for example could you create a device that could capture the sound quality of Eddie Van Halen's guitar , the output through different amplifiers , and the ability to simulate certain …

I bet it's spam. Joke's gonna be on them in an eon or two, when their pan-galactic quantum hypercomputer finally decodes it all, and the teletype spews out "HOT SINGLES IN YOUR AREA" I like to imagine the Grays gathered around a teletype expectantly. people would throw themselves at grays for …

The truth is that we are a message, traveling through the universe. The message is contained in our DNA and will only be readable at the time it is delivered. This is why the grays are probing peoples butts, to try and decypher the encryption en-route. So just remember if you are ever feeling down, …

A1000 has color composite out. I did not know this. I did a little research and it seems not all 1000s have color composite, there is a lot of discussion about this. However I did find something else I didn't know which is the 600 and 1200 had color composite out. If you had an Amiga monitor though …

Piracy is just an excuse for DRM so they can implement anti-consumer practices to squeeze every penny they can out of their consumer. Built in obsolesence is a plan not an accident. When I was in High School I couldn't afford to buy a single game and of course I downloaded the games from BBS at the …

My point, was that such monitor use was "Somewhat common" in HOME settings with PCs (at least in the US), in the early to mid 80s, with CGA. CGA had composite output as a stock option, specifically for use with a television. A commodore monitor was cleaner/sharper than your average consumer …

The amazon show gave me a reason to play through Fallout 1/2/NV, so I've been doing that as of recent. Luckily, there's a project called Community Edition nowadays which let me play it natively on my Apple Silicon Macbook. Screenshot 2024-04-14 at 9.49.45 PM.png What version of Fallout 1 has a …

I never knew anyone with a PC to use a Commodore or compatible monitor. The only way an Amiga could have used a PC monitor was if it had a flicker fixer installed, and I didn't know anyone who could afford that in my circle. I would agree that I'd never seen PCs and Amigas using the same monitors.

I remember a similar argument from the companies about CDs and ownership. I don't remember what exactly it is but their argument at the time boiled down to you own the CD but not the music on the CD. So my suggestion at that time was to scratch up every CD and make the companies pay to replace their …
