WOW! So that's what Calum's voice sounds like!

Is that you Calum, are you singing?

Pretty cool, hehehe... It's funny imagining that voice set to some of your more inflamitory posts  :D

Post by: Calum on 24 April 2002, 13:36
yes, it's me...
i'm a bit embarrased about it though!

i reckon i've improved a lot since recording that, plus those songs were recorded in a hurry.

I have got a new website in the works, and i'm going to put up a bunch of newer MP3s at that time (maybe in a month or two), so maybe i'll post here when it's up and running...

My favourites of those MP3s you're listening to are "I've got a rubbish taste in music" (although it's a bit dated now) and "Wo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh!".

Just to add a bit of continuity for those many Australian posters here!... all those songs were recorded in Kogarah, NSW while i was living there about a year and a quarter ago.

Yea i will admit that they sounded a bit flat because they where "Recoreded in a hurry" im going to publish some Music i made on my BOX. and see whatz u think
I will download some more, but now im downloading cygwin and some stuff with it...
Cygwin is developed by red-hat and allows a Unix base on windows... Im downloading things like GNU C and libc with it so i can compile my exploits for unix in windows. And do deadly D0S to people that shit me

And also, calum have you tried SLab? I know this issue is in another forum but (see 'ps' on previous post!!!) I have managed to 'build' it once out of about 5-6 tries :-( it is a bit of a c**t for dependencies! But it works really well once built!

Sorry I've been away all week :-(
SLab is a multitrack recording system for Linux see http://www.slabexchange.org/ (http://www.slabexchange.org/) like I say I've only managed to 'build it once'  but as they say your mileage may vary........but I can say it works really well when it's built, btw I know this isn't the place for this but if anyone on this list is interested in cubase vst 32 for win or mac lemme know, i'll send ya a cd no charge :)

calums music is excellent, and this is coming from another musician!!!
Calum, have you got any cd's for sale?
Title: Calums MUSIC
Post by: Calum on 6 May 2002, 04:46
i wouldn't mind having cubase for win, although i'll probably never use it, as any install of a program fucks my CD burning software up to the point where a complete reinstall of windows and ALL the apps i need is required. When cdrecord supports my USB burner in linux i will be very happy. Re: a CD by me, no i don't. I am thinking about slinging together a CD of older solo stuff by me, because it will be a few months yet at the very quickest before i get my band together and suchlike...
what do you think.

PS i am very interested in this SLab thing, i might have to check it out. Any pitfalls to avoid with it? plugins available? et c...

those fucktards at rollingstone.com have fucking erased all my mp3s! i only found out when i clicked my own signature link because they totally failed to let me know about it! Arseholes.

Anyway, i have retaliated by setting up a much better site, with some downloads on it. If you want the new Calum's mp3s, then follow the link in my signature for some totally exclusive new stuff. And anybody that got the old mp3s, you can feel priveleged as it's unlikely that that stuff will be made available ever again! so get emailing and filesharing with those old ones!

Post by: Calum on 19 June 2002, 18:46
right, so the update. After rollingstone.com erased my mp3s without telling me, i rewrite the site, and host it at boomspeed.com. They give me 1Mb of free space and no banner ads or popups. So, this is fine, but they are dead set against me hosting mp3s and i cannot do it. I tried, they shut me down.

Anybody know where i can host a few megabytes of mp3s for free? there won't be much throughput, i am not exactly a huge star or anything!  :D

I got a unused webspace account with my ISP calum ... it's only 5mb but high uptime/availability and great speed .... if you're really pressed for webspace I could host your site.....
Title: Calums MUSIC
Post by: Calum on 19 June 2002, 20:19
thanks for the offer, Karma, and (i never thought i'd say it) thanks, Gooseberry clock!
I'm going to try geocities first, then i will see what offers mp3.com have, although i suspect they and i will not see eye to eye about it, but you never know, re: hosting my site, Karma, the site is fine where it is, but i am really after 2 to 5 Mb of space to host mp3s on, this would really eat into whatever allocation you have on your space i suspect, so i wouldn't want to inconvenience you like that...

Post by: voidmain on 19 June 2002, 21:47
Yes, I put my old band's entire CD on mp3.com, along with a small web site.  Of course you have to put up with the advertising (but hey they even sent me a free MP3.com duffle bag, can't beat that!).  I also have our main web site and MP3s on my own server so I don't have to put up with the advertising.  But for free if you don't have a server, mp3.com is a good site to host your stuff...

Well Calum ... I have 3 webspace accounts of 5mb, I only use 1 (which is obsolete anyway... guildpage for a guild from a game which doesn't even exist anymore  (http://smile.gif) )

I'll setup an account for you and PM you the details....

hi calum,

i was made curious by the others, so went to download your music, but
it said that the server was down, for some reason i forgot.
Anyway, i'm a musician too, i play in a band, we've been together for
about a year now, and it's going splendid except for the fact we're
looking for a bass player ...
call me very primitive, but i'm using Impulse Tracker to make music.
it's certainly not appropriate as studio-sound, but it serves well
for an example !
What programs do you use ?
Maybe we can exchange some music, just hit me at
[email protected] !

and wtf is BOB ??
Title: Calums MUSIC
Post by: Calum on 19 June 2002, 23:36
i don't know what Bob is!   (http://smile.gif)  

It's good to see you guys all rallying round to help!
I have set up an mp3.com account, and i have shifted my mp3s section on my site to yahoo/geocities, which runs FreeBSD and has no ads and popups (i like), so maybe that'll be okay for now,

BadKarma, if it's okay with you, maybe i will use your space (not sure how soon i'll need it)? i don't want to take the piss though unless it's really not a problem...

foobar - Top cool! sorry to say my main sound programs are Sonic Foundry Sound Forge and Steinberg/Propellerhead ReBirth RB-338 which are both good programs but neither are linux. I want to get some replacements for linux but have not had time/luck compiling them, unfortunately...

Sound forge does not even have a mac version! good program though, and it has actually never crashed my windows! (which must be some sort of a record!) it would need some serious directx support to run in an emulator, and i have many directx plugins that i'd have to shunt across some way...

I'd love to hear some of yr stuff, i'm unlikely to be able to email you any of my stuff, the best way to get my stuff is to go to my site, do you have any of yr stuff on a server, so i can download it?

Ah yes! my site! it's back up to full operation!! As i said, the mp3s are now hosted on a different server, so there's no more "You do not have permission" bullshit... ALSO, you should all go and check it out because i have added another new previously unheard of (et c) song, which you should all grab quicksmart, to celebrate getting it running again so quickly and by way of compensation for those people who said they went to my site and could not download the files... Enjoy!   ;)

hey Calum, i have two folders full of mp3's that i share on gutella. would it piss you off if i just droped your music into my gnutella folders. or do you want me to put it in a nonshared folder. people of this website could then be able to get it off of a gnutella client/*maybe i hope*/. and then it could be distrubetet across gnutella. you know, downloading music from people they have heard about.thats how i find out about alot of the cd i have bought and plan to buy
Title: Calums MUSIC
Post by: Calum on 20 June 2002, 02:34
that would be really good! can you make sure that my website URL is in the id3 of the particular copies of the mp3s that you share? thanks! Also, how does all that work? I'm still actually looking for a permanent home to host my mp3s on! at the moment they are on yahoo, but it gives me a really thin bandwidth limit, so that's no use if a few people want to go there and get the files at the same time! earlier this evening my bandwidth was used up, and when that happens my entire downloads page goes offline for an hour (weird but dumb)

youve used gnutella Calum, right. basically everyone should share there Calum mp3s. the more that are share the higher the availablity. also X11, could you share your mp3s, i think you have a few that i don't.

calum, the music i make on impulse tracker is rediculously small in size, the second reason why i use it. A large song of about 5 minutes takes less than 300K !!
So if you'd allow me, i could email some stuff to you. Even if you have a dumbass hotmail accout, you can open the files. It's what i like to call 'symphonic metal',
simply hard music with some kind of symphony in it. If you'd rather not expose your email adress on the forums, just send me an email (see page 1)

you use impulse tracker foobar? cool ... I did a lot of stuff with IT a few years back ... some of my stuff was on www.traxinspace.com (http://www.traxinspace.com) which has misteriously vanished from the face of the earth which sucks pretty bad seeing it was the only place I still had some music online (afaik at least)

impulse tracker is *really* powerfull though (MIDI support, all sorts of cool realtime sample effect, volume envelopes, panning envelopes... you name it)

maybe I'll install win98 on my other box and actually do something with it again (or install soundtracker for linux on my main box... it only has XM support though, no IT support)

Calum : my ISP had some network troubles which kept me from creating an account ... I'll keep trying over the coming days and let you know when they fixed it....

edit:

forgot I had 2 songs online, check them out if you wish (they were made about 3-4 years ago I think)

okay... run that by me again? how does that compression work?

also, no i haven't used gnutella, i know next to nothing about networking and that's one of the things i don't know...

X11, that's a shame about those old mp3s, i still have them, maybe i could email them to one of you to share.

Boomspeed just deleted all my stuff about 2 hours ago without even telling me. I am very annoyed. My site is now hosted at http://www.geocities.com/calumsmusic/ (http://www.geocities.com/calumsmusic/) in case yr interested. The three mp3s in question are still there, available for download including one new one about Melbourne's weather! (to make up for X11 losing those old mp3s maybe...)

lastly, i have no qualms about posting my email address as it has great security features, and it's on my site anyway, it's [email protected], and symphonic metal sounds great! looking forward to it...

Now, forgive the idiocy of this question but, if the files are being shared on Gnutella, can i link to them from a website? i know, dumb, huh? but what's the answer? sorry for being so clueless!  :D

You can compress those using PKZip and change the extension to ITZ. Then go to http://pweb.jps.net/~olivierl/ (http://pweb.jps.net/~olivierl/)

Gooseberry clock, why would i want to do that? i am sure there is a good reason, but i have not clicked that link yet, and i like to know what's going on before i embark on a mad link race around the internet, so maybe you could put a paragraph in your posts explaining your links, because i'd actually like to know why i should zip them, then visit that site (and so forth)
Title: Calums MUSIC
Post by: badkarma on 20 June 2002, 17:20
calum, you cant make a hyperlink to a file on the gnutella net (afaik)

the impulse tracker format is not compressed, it is a music format which incorporates soundbits (samples) in order (patterns) which enabled you to create music (this is a *really* simplistic explanantion)

so if you have a midi file, the sound of the file will be determined by the midi hardware you use to play it on ... a module (as the it format is called) will allways sound the same on all players (not considering a few exceptions) because the samples are embedded in the file.
Title: Calums MUSIC
Post by: Calum on 20 June 2002, 18:19
didn't think i could hyperlink my songs from there...

re: sounds like compression to me, otherwise how could they get all the sound in such a small space? is it just intelligent sampling, where the same sequence is repeated to approximate the actual recording???
Title: Calums MUSIC
Post by: badkarma on 20 June 2002, 18:27
the samples are just wave files ... the patterns describe in what order and in what key the samples should be played......

this link should explain a bit about the mod format

It's based on the Amiga sound chip which can play four different sounds at different speeds all at the same time.

Hmmmm ... that's been a few years since I last loaded them in impulse tracker f00, so can't help you much with it. Sounds like not enough memory yeah, also make sure you use a driver with MMX filtering....

I'll see if I can dig up some more of my stuff from the internet .... too bad traxinspace is down :-\

There is one linux tracker I found, however it's not impulse tracker like. It's fasttracker like (handles XM files and it's own format (XM based with some other effects)). It's called soundtracker and you can find it at:

http://www.soundtracker.org/ (http://www.soundtracker.org/)

maybe I'll actually start doing something with music (read: tracking  ;) ) again .... my taste changed a lot though, used to listen to techno/house, now it's mostly rock music....

Great music.  Why not put them in ogg vorbis format?  Its supposed to be more efficient than mp3.  Besides ogg vorbis is open source, and the makers of mp3 are getting itchy.  As it is, I think better recording would go a long way.  I think 64kbps would be good.

i agree with you by the way, however my current music hosts at soundclick.com will not host any file format other than mp3.   :mad:  
also, my newer mp3s are a lot better sound quality than the last set which addresses a complaint a lot of people had.
