The SOASC= project is a non-profit &
private project.
The SOASC= project is an automated
recording technique invented by me
(Stone Oakvalley) in order to mass
record music from the legendary
Commodore 64 and its SID chips
(6581 and 8580) The goal is to record
the entire HVSC SID collection played
from REAL Commodore 64's (both old and
new) as per collection #46 (January 21
2007.) With PSID64 as the REAL C64
player and 64HHD as fileserver, it all
connects to multiple PC's with own
tailored software, crude PAR port
control systemC64 keyboard interface
and database structure toolswritten in
PureBasic. Yes, its actually working.
Also, a strong point to consider in
this project is that ALL SIDs are
recorded on both Commodore SID chip
models regardless of what HVSC or the
author of the SID had recommended.
Remember There are people out there
that probably NEVER heard the elite
sound of the 6581 and its sample
filter defects, but only the sound of
8580 and visa versa. For those people,
they ONLY rembember the tune as played
by their model. And this is a strong
point of the SOASC= project
PRESERVATION for ALL!
If it crackles and pops....well..it's
the true and authentic sound of a real
Commodore 64! This is what we had in
the past, and now the past will be the
present for all Commodore 64 fans out
there. It is called AUTHENTIC because
the process will NOT attempt to
enhance any of the recordings, it is
recorded straight plain out from the
mono Commodore 64 AudioVideo
connector. No stereo, no funny mixes,
no compression, no filtering, no remix
no software noise reduction, no crazy
SID hacks or other unatural Commodore
64 elements.If there is a poppy click
in the recording its supposed to be
there.The SID chip is unique as should
be treated as so as well.
I've adjusted DC BIAS to 0 and
executed Volume Maximizer with no
clipping using NORMALIZE.EXE and
SOX.EXE. Noise Reduction was done by
improving the physical grounding
inside Commodore 64. Thats it!
The final MP3 (224kbps, mono,
44100Hz) will contain all information
from the SID itself, sorted in respect
of the directory structure as defined
by HVSC. Filenaming, title, author,
copyright etc.
Forget PlaySIDSIDPlay2w....and all
the others
Forget HardSID
Forget ParSID
Forget ReSID
Forget MMC64 (It has an intergrated
SID player, for those who wonder)
Forget them ALL! Just listen to the
real deal instead with the help of the
SOASC= project!
Note I _LOVE_ all the
software/hardware mentioned above..do
not misunderstand me-(
A project this big shouldn't be
done...because it IS insane. But fret
not Because, ONE crazy man called
Stone Oakvalley - will attempt this
world record project in music
conversion and preservation!
