Viraxor: The extreme content to size ratio was overlooked.

Re: Hello, how was the huxchx.it (ID: 198951) module accepted on the archive? It was 11 MB large and 27 seconds long. (Note: I am not frustrated, just asking. It is really weird to have this on the archive, despite the screening rules :)

Saga Musix: Thank You☺️

Re: Yep, they are gone now.

YeKM19: Yep, they are gone now.

Re: Hi Saga, Can You Cancel or reject a Pending my Module Name Track balrog.mptm and balrog-340.mptm.

Hi Saga, Can You Cancel or reject a Pending my Module Name Track balrog.mptm and balrog-340.mptm.

Hello, how was the huxchx.it (ID: 198951) module accepted on the archive? It was 11 MB large and 27 seconds long. (Note: I am not frustrated, just asking. It is really weird to have this on the archive, despite the screening rules :)

Viraxor: I'm going through them at the moment. Next time, in addition to not claiming them as your own, please do a quick search which tunes already might exist on the archive to spare the screening crew some work. Most of the tracks you uploaded are absolute classics, the chance of them not existing in the archive yet is near zero.

Re: Hello, I made a big mistake. When I was uploading modules to the archive, I've accidentally selected the Yes option instead of No, claiming that all of the modules I've uploaded were mine. Can you please reject them all, except viraxor_-_ein_adonis_final.xm, viraxor_-_revoked.mod and viraxor_-_laze_doesnt_like_icecream.mptm because those are indeed made by me? I am very sorry for making such a mistake.

Saga Musix: Thanks for the quick response and the tips! I will slow it down next time I upload modules.

Re: There's many factors that can make it easy to spot. It mostly boils down to knowing how a typical MID2XM / OpenMPT / ModPlug Tracker MIDI import looks like, and checking if the pattern data looks like anything a human being would write. Factors can be: Are the measures not aligned to pattern boundaries at all? Are notes often misaligned (too early / late, an issue with the old MPT import)? Are standard MIDI instruments used exclusively? Does the module not loop properly? Does each and every note have a volume command? On other other side, there are effects that have no MIDI counterpart (e.g. vibrato), so if they are found in patterns, the module is hand-written. > sorry for the pain I'm causing to the screening team It would be great if you could slow it down a bit. If you already have more than ~50 uploads waiting, don't upload any more. That way uploads by artists can be prioritized and approved in a timely manner more easily.

Re: Hello. I uploaded a lot of MODs (sorry for the pain I'm causing to the screening team :D) and some might be MIDI conversions, but I was not so sure. Is there any way to detect if a MOD is a MIDI conversion?

Saga Musix: Yeah, I thought about echo channels. Thanks!

Re: The echo channels? I guess the author didn't double-check that they actually work as intended, because they don't even produce output in FT2 itself. Synthesized MED files are allowed, but they won't work on the online player for now.

Re: Hello, a module that I uploaded, traymuss_reksio_i_koziolek.xm, is currently in the queue. However, some channels have notes and assigned instruments to it, but the channel outputs nothing. I was not sure if it is corrupted or OpenMPT isn't playing it well. If it's corrupted, I'm sorry for wasting your time.

Also, are MED modules with synthesized MED instruments allowed on the archive?

Saga Musix: Thanks also, Clinkster was great to use and its relative simplicity helped get some nice enough sounds out. The recent release/beta of Renose built for the RPi might get me back into tracking again. Will have to see :-)

Re: Thanks, I really enjoyed your track as well. Great sound for 5k!

Thanks for the artist-linking :D

Saga Musix: Thanks man :D

Re: I have upgraded your account to an artist account so any future modules you can directly claim as your own while uploading them.

Re: Alright! I'm now in the waiting for the first module to be attached to the archive, and I'll let you know about potential linkage of that module to the account :D

Re: Hello there! Yes, the wording may be a bit confusing or too harsh, but anything that you have made yourself, including remixes, should be assigned to your artist account.

Re: Whassup! I've been planning on uploading most of my tracks into TMA since I've been making music for months... although I could use a little inquiry: I'm kinda interested in how the artist account works, however, I'm a little weirded out: I mostly do covers of various songs, some of which may be situated to copyright. If in case that happens, does those modules also have the chance to be assigned to an artist account or otherwise?

Thank you for your contribution and tips! On the first track, also I doubted at the time, but decided to drop by to explain the why of that "nirvana". (No fix in Renoise, because it seemed to me more natural). Also, thank you again! ;))

ASIKWUSpulse: Hey, I think just dropping the volume a little bit more would have helped - it should not alter the characteristics of the sample at all.

Re: Hi, thanks for reviewing my module (Samba Cone Disco if you don't remember). The sample of instrument 12 is for me a quite unused sample, due to it being very loud as you said, something I directly noticed when I created it, but had no clue how to make quieter without ruining the characteristics. There's a harmonic with some sub-harmonics one octave above the ground tone that is peaking. In this case, it was thrown in on the fly in music making progress, which means I tried the easy-solutions, which itself means dropping the global volume of the sample a little :D

Saga Musix: Ok I'm so sorry. Just keep doing what you're doing.

Re: I really cannot tell you any more precise estimate than what I already said.

Re: If you have been waiting for it "sooooo long", I am sure another one or two months won't hurt. Rule of thumb: If you ask me how much longer it's going to take to implement something, it will annoy me and just make it take longer to implement it.

Re: Saga musix, are you willing to finish the opl instrument for s3m in openmpt? Because I'm waiting for it sooooo long

Kyleroo: Being a tracker developer, I am very well aware of the differences, yes. If you are referring to my profile text, I don't write XM files so it's not relevant.

Re: Hey sir, have you learned that playing .XM files on .IT-based trackers also makes the song horrible? Vice versa of playing .IT files on XM-based trackers. :D
