Well, instead of using the phrase "sample a piano", maybe we should say
something like: "Converting the sound of someone playing the piano to
zeros and ones, in order to use them in a computer environment"... ;-)

About the Music_Competition.modules - there a lot of good stuff there! I've
listened to 22 modules of which I've kept 10 really nice ones.

my brother bought the DSS-8 from GVP, and the tracker software with it
looked quite nice and quite good - and it was in NTSC.  i didn't try it out
enough to give a good review, though, 'cause i don't write mods.  since you
get a digitizer as well, the DSS-8 package might me a good thing for aspiring
mod writers to buy.  multiplayer supports playback of the mods it makes,
and it can save the mods as self-playing.  comes with code so other mod player
writers can support it as well.

I didn't catch any of the discussion, but I do know of one.  Probably the
same one.  There are a ton of them (I would guess well over a hundred
though I'm not sure) on the MegaDemo disk from Profit Press.  This disk is
pretty large and is a demo for their other disks.  It has tons of MOD's,
ROL's, CMF's, WAV's, and VOC's.  There are also a lot of FLI's, GIF's, and
BMP's.  Plus shareware for DOS, Windows, and OS/2.  Also included is a
benchmark program for your CD-ROM drive.

But the best part is the price.  It's absolutly FREE!!!! (plus $6 for
shipping.)  You can contact them at 1-800-843-7990.  Just ask for the
MegaDemo.

And a little tip for anyone who has this disk.  When I was setting mine
up, I choose Mega A/V instead of MegaDemo on accident.  To my suprise, it
installed just fine.  Of course I couldn't read any files, but Megasearch
worked just fine.  I could see everything they have on Mega A/V.  So if
you would like to know what you get on any other disk you order from them,
install the software for that disk.

The difference between PerfectSound 1&2 and PerfectSound3 is that 3 has a
microphone jack and 1 & 2 do not.  

Personally, I think the mic jack was a nice touch...and why not just sample with
Perfect Sound and THEN dump it into MED?  There ARE ways to work around the

No, it's a freeware product by a member of Superions (at least 1.4,
I don't know about the others). There should be a refined version of FC 1.4
called Pumatracker somewhere, I haven't seen it though.

    Not everyone. I only keep MODs, not the accompanying readmes. The
    best approach, IMHO, is for the authors to embed the names in the
    file. MED supports this, and people do it in MODs by naming the
    instruments things like "by Audiomonster". If people want to put a
    whole lot of text in the file, I've seen that done by inserting
    the text as a bogus instrument.

    As far as names go, 20 seems to be ideal. Besides being the length
    of the name field in normal MODs, it also allows space for a
    "mod." prefix and a ".xpk" suffix.

OK.  Since this has come up again, I'll give what info I can.

First of all, I assume we are still talking about the MegaDemo CD from
Profit Press, right?  If not, then here is ANOTHER good one.  I earlier
said it was free plus $6 shipping.  Appearantly this isn't so anymore.  I
don't know, I just reported what is was when I ordered it last fall. 

Here are some statistics that would be of interest to this group.

NOTE: my prices were from last fall and now have changed.  So unless
someone double checks me, I can't guarranty these specs are totally accurate
either.

The CMF's are in something like 5 zipped files, and there about about 26
zipped files of ROL's.

There is also 91 Swimsuit GIF's, 117 other GIF's, 50 FLI's, 75 BMP's,
DOS / Windows / OS/2 shareware, BBS stuff, a CD-ROM benchmark program,
CD-ROM utilities, and misc. stuff.

Call Profit Press and ask for the MegaDemo disk.  Their numbers are
1-800-843-7990, (602) 577-9696 (information), (602) 577-9624 (FAX).

And no, I don't have anything to do with this company.  And I'm not using
this post for commercial profit.  I just want to let ya'll know about a
great deal (even if they are charging $9 for the disk now.)

	Does anyone produce a MODs review or rating list?  I'm looking
for good Techno and Rave MODs, and would really like to know which ones are
decent, instead of downloading every single one blindly.  Thanks in advance.
