Indamixx + Renoise + Cdm Music Production Contest

I have their RSS feed on my iGoogle for few months now. I read the article first on CDM. It was pretty surprising… :P

Is there a limit to the amount of submissions per person?

Sounds cool ! I’m in :)
…Too bad I put my old PII-350 to death! [it had an option to disable L2 cache so it could run reaaaaaaaaaal slooooooooow :D]

How does one apply the creative commons license?
Just post this link in with it? :blink:

Indamixx Netbook? 2GB Ram but Intel Atom? The song must be tested by the notebook with the CPU not limiting upto 90%? How am I going to convert my common CPU percentage to the Netbook?

Use cross reference values for demo-songs that do not halt on a netbook.
On an Acer Aspire One Bk250, 2 songs can give you a direction how much your cpu threshold of your laptop should be scaled to:
The Path 2009 peaks at 71.9%, but does not halt.
Nivi does not halt.

Also read the MSI Wind U100 review where someone did a similar test:

So play those songs and look at the maximum CPU rates of those songs when played on your laptop or PC (turn off multicore usage)… if you can stay under that, your song written on your laptop/pc may as well survive on a netbook.

Also the songs that do not work out can give you indication of what to avoid using or combining.

can renoise 2.1 play files from renoise 2.0?

Yes, all older songs (from Renoise 1.27 and up) should be loadable into the newest version.

Why not use the latest version?

don’t think I can do something for this compo, to little time :(

My time-management has been shit lately :) . I will try and convert some work in progress joints to .ogg and replace the vsts with Renoises dsp chains. Maybe inspiration will come this week.

Or just submit it to the SDCompo 43 the 26th :P
(Perhaps their samplepack gives you some extra inspiration)

I’m going to work on this on the weekend.

I’m not really eligible to win, but i’m going to dust off my old iBook G4 (800Mhz) and see what I can come up with.

CPU throttling, no trivial task. A fun challenge though.

Well, can we track or see the number of the compo entries?

Update:

Contest deadline has been extended. New deadline: 25th of October.

There’s also a new upload and voting page, here:

The first post has been edited accordingly.

Get tracking!

:yeah:

When using pure samples there is actually no latency.
Only some of the internal effects like the bus compressor have a little latency (which the internal PDC routine will nicely cloak for you).

Whatever latency setting you use in the preferences, the benchmark song will give a cpu read out for that specific setting. There is no default setting to use, as we all have different set-ups/configurations.

You should find a latency setting for your soundcard that works for you (= no cpu clipping/spikes), and check what the benchmark song read out is. Then continue to work on this setting, and don’t exceed the benchmark read-out.

this thing is useful, who made it?

A lot of great music in this contest. Pretty amazed!
Looking forward to this weekend.

Thank you

Could the songs posted on CDM be submitted in time to the actual contest?
Sad to see those tracks not make it in on mere technicality.

Thank you
