Ratings Options]---------------------------------------------[Boris]-- Since my previous letter has been referred to in a way that I don't think I quiet intended it to be, I need to address Nova's general followup in last week's issue. > Now, what about these other rating systems? In traxweekly #82, Boris > had an article entitled "Rating solutions," First, I just want to clarify that the article title was apparently given by Gene and not by yours truly. I have to admit I didn't really pay much attention to that in particular, but now that I consider it, perhaps it was a little misleading. Instead of "Ratings Solutions," "An Additional Ratings Option" would have been more appropriate. [Editor's note: Many people submit articles without titles. Whether they choose to or not does not matter, but if you have a certain "theme" for your article, I suggest that in the future, articles should be accompanied with a title.] > in which he introduced a new method of reviewing songs. It consists of > rating only a handful of modules, on a scale of 1 to 100, with comments, > much like the MC4 system. I suppose I should be a little embarassed in that I never did examine the review structure of any of the Music Contests, but if we do indeed use a similar approach, I'd have to say their idea is good too. ;) > This is a good idea, but it is by no means a sufficient replacement for > the Hornet ratings. No, it isn't, I agree. Again, the title "Ratings Solutions" probably led to your assumption that I was suggesting a distinct alternative rather than an additional option. Actually, at the end of my earlier letter I did specifically bring up the fact that I have been making use of Hornet's star ratings myself in order to try and keep most of the weekly selections I choose somewhat higher than average. I personally don't think any method should be tossed out completely, but instead advocate that all methods be examined to see where their strengths lie, and to make use of those strengths, when possible/practical, in any future review/ratings designs. For me, the Hornet ratings are a very useful filter that saves me tons of time while improving my project's output. > For one, they will only cover about 0.1% of all the new releases > in the scene, whereas Hornet will eventually rate everything. That pretty much sums it up. The Weekly Module Review and the Hornet ratings methods are complementary not exclusive, in that the Hornet guys examine everything, but more lightly (in terms of actual public presentation), while we take a subset of their work and go into more depth. The public wins in both cases. > Second, I don't agree that comments from the general public are as useful > as comments from an experienced tracker. Ok, my comments on this comes in two parts. First, virtually all of the WMR reviewers are quite 'into' modules and have a lot of listening under their belts; and many of them are composers themselves. None of them are just guys who have nothing better to do and are brand new to modules. Secondly, it depends on what you mean by "useful." In our style of reviewing we hit, without even having to try, both ends of the spectrum. Those reviewers who are not composers often fill in the gaps that the composer-reviewers may gloss over in favor of more technical commentary. The resulting information ends up being of use to both the general module listening public and interested composers. Another thing to keep in mind is that just because a reviewer is a composer him/herself, doesn't necessarily mean they know what is most attractive to the public. Their opinions may be biased towards "good" being technically superior rather than popular. One has to remember that one of the main points of the WMR is to get opinions from a cross-section of people FOR a cross-section of people; and that the results from the WMR project are intended to represent both what is popularly appealing and what is well-composed/constructed. > I only know a few of the Hornet reviewers, but they all seem to know what > they're doing. Inviting everyone in the entire scene to review songs > might not be the best way to have accurate ratings. Err...well, if you can figure out a way to have accuracy in something as subjective as music, then you have my blessings to try and produce it. Accuracy isn't even a goal for the WMR...it isn't even considered a possibility (unless perhaps you set up strict and possibly arbitrary compositional rules, etc.) Just as the Hornet ratings are guidelines for the public, so are the WMR overall ratings (and their style subdivisions) just guidelines. The commentary is the meat for those who care to get impressions and reasons for those numbers, nothing more. > I know when I was first starting to track, I would've given > ***** or 100 to tons of songs, because I hadn't heard enough music to > realize that many modules are just copies of classic styles set by > Future Crew, Renaissance, and KLF. All I can say to that is that you wouldn't have made a good reviewer at that time. ;) Reasonably consistent ratings obviously require the reviewer to consider, as well as possible, their ratings on other modules too. And one needs to leave some wiggle room for the unexpected. Oh, and as far as I'm personally concerned, a very good imitation of a Purple Motion module still makes for a good module. You can lambaste the composer for being a plagiarist, but that doesn't in any way materially impact on the quality of the module itself. After all, does a sampletext reading "Boris / Plagiarism Inc." instead of "Purple Motion / FC" change the sound any? What if one well-respected modulist copied another well-respected modulist's distinct style, did it perfectly, and stated this very clearly in the sampletexts...would that make that module any better than one that was created the same way but by someone who tried to take full credit? Nah, of course not. Maybe I'm being overly idealistic, but to me, the music and the composer are two distinct things. When I say a module is good or bad, it is purely based on my impressions of the qualities of the music. I might find the composer to be a fraud on the basis of heavy copy-catting, but it certainly wouldn't make me delete the module if the music was good. In terms of the WMR reviewers, I like to see the numerical ratings based on the music, and the commentary be the place for accusing the composer of stealing riffs, etc. if there are grounds for such suspicions. > While we could encourage the Hornet reviewers to double-check their > reviews so the few errors they make could be reduced, Once again, this is all subjective...even the objectivity is subjective because you have to accept the fact that the people doing the ratings have biases, and it is unreasonable to assume they can mask them out entirely in all cases... so there are no errors to correct. > their reviewing system is still our best source for knowing, out of all > the new releases in the scene today, what songs are worth downloading. I'll take that a step further. The Hornet ratings are the best way to tell which new modules might be the best of the lot, while I submit that the WMR reviews are the best way to further determine the best of a subset of that lot. The WMR is also a good way to have one of your modules rated AND reviewed without having to beg a group of people, and without having to wait for a full-review contest to be held. !!PLUG!! So if you are a composer who would like some guaranteed reviews (numbers and words) on a piece of your work, just contact me at boris@cyberverse.com and let me know. Boris/WMR ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --[2. Compression Quality of Music]--------------------[Infinite Oblivion]-- I recently decide to test which compressor worked best for music so I devised three tests. The first involved a test file which contained 3 16-bit samples and no orders/patterns etc. The second test involved the song MECH8.S3M (Mechanism 8 by Necros) saved in different formats and compressed. The third test was to find out with MMCMP which file was the smallest. So here are the results: Test Number One: Test File saved in three different formats and compressed. Test Impulse Tracker File TEST.IT 24,806 PKzipped Impulse Tracker File TEST_I_P.ZIP 23,101 LHAed Impulse Tracker File TEST_I_L.LZH 23,007 ARJed Impulse Tracker File TEST_I_A.ARJ 23,070 RARed Impulse Tracker File TEST_I_R.RAR 23,220 Test Scream Tracker File TEST.S3M 24,828 PKzipped Scream Tracker File TEST_S_P.ZIP 23,151 LHAed Scream Tracker File TEST_S_L.LZH 23,072 ARJed Scream Tracker File TEST_S_A.ARJ 23,137 RARed Scream Tracker File TEST_S_R.RAR 23,273 Test FastTracker File TEST.XM 25,591 PKzipped FastTracker File TEST_X_P.ZIP 20,088 LHAed FastTracker File TEST_X_L.LZH 19,991 ARJed FastTracker File TEST_X_A.ARJ 20,123 RARed FastTracker File TEST_X_R.RAR 20,499 Winner Uncompressed: Impulse Tracker File Winner Compressed: LHAed FastTracker File Worst Uncompressed: Fast Tracker File Worst Compresssed: Scream Tracker RARed Test Two: Mechanism 8 Mech 8 in Scream Tracker Format MECH.S3M 747,596 Mech 8 in Scream Tracker Format PKZ MECH_S_P ZIP 476,541 Mech 8 in Scream Tracker Format LHA MECH_S_L LZH 476,867 Mech 8 in Scream Tracker Format ARJ MECH_S_A ARJ 474,337 Mech 8 in Scream Tracker Format RAR MECH_S_R RAR 478,933 Mech 8 in FastTracker Format MECH.XM 789,452 Mech 8 in FastTracker Format PKZ MECH_X_P ZIP 471,232 Mech 8 in FastTracker Format LHA MECH_X_L LZH 469,328 Mech 8 in FastTracker Format ARJ MECH_X_A ARJ 469,975 Mech 8 in FastTracker Format RAR MECH_X_R RAR 474,506 Mech 8 in Impulse Tracker Format MECH.IT 734,896 Mech 8 in Impulse Tracker Format PKZ MECH_I_P ZIP 475,892 Mech 8 in Impulse Tracker Format LHA MECH_I_L LZH 476,083 Mech 8 in Impulse Tracker Format ARJ MECH_I_A ARJ 473,969 Mech 8 in Impulse Tracker Format RAR MECH_I_R RAR 477,855 Winner Uncompressed: Impulse Tracker File Winner Compressed: LHAed FastTracker File Worst Uncompressed: Fast Tracker File Worst Compressed: Scream Tracker RARed Test Number Three: Mech 8 saved in differnt formats and MMCMPed (Note: ARJ, PKZ, RAR, and LHA changed the file size by so little I skipped double compressing them) Mech 8 Scream Tracker MMCMPed MECH_M.S3M 552,505 Mech 8 Impulse Tracker MMCMPed MECH_M.IT 537,491 Mech 8 Fast Tracker MMCMPed MECH_M.XM 555,894 Winner: Impulse Tracker Loser: Fast Tracker So according to these tests Impulse Tracker is the best program if your going to leave your files uncompressed. If you do decide to compress them use Fast Tracker and LHA. Generally though I have seen most people use either RAR or PKZIP. Why? Because PKzip, in particular have been used for the longest time and work fast. RAR has its own menu driven format which makes it a bit easier to use. LHA unfortuanetly has recieve little recognition even though it is probably the best compressor. MMCMP is another great utility because it is designed just for music files. Since it leaves the music in its original format and is usable in with having to decompress the file it is quite powerful adn useful. Well anyways thats all I have to say on the subject of compression. :) L8er!

Impulse Tracker Tip of the Week]----------------[pinion (Ryan Hunt)]-- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tip #5: Another use for pitch envelopes... no they're not dumb! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- OK... stop wondering why pitch evelopes were included with instrument. There are cool things you can do with them! This week I will tell you how you can make an interesting pitch bend siren that is more than just novel, it's functional! Load up a sine wave in the sample area. I use a sine wave in this example because that's all I've tested this with. I'm sure other samples will work, though. In instrument mode, give it a pitch envelope like this: |: : | - The ^ indicates the sus loop points. |: : | |: o : | |o o | |: o : | |: : | |: : | ^ ^ NOTE: you don't want to place the nodes in too extreme a position because it will start bending the pitch *way* up and it will sound really really bad (unless of course this is the effect you're going for, and then by all means, don't let me stop you!). Also, you can expreiment a little as to the vibe rate (rate = the amount of ticks from start of loop to end of loop) A long rate may sound weird, where as too short a rate will sound a little hyper and not like a siren. Place the note in your pattern and... viola! Instant siren! You're probably wondering why you don't just scrap this whole plan and use a sample that already sounds like a siren. Well, I'll tell you why... if you want to do something clever like bend the pitch of the siren up or down you will distort the rate of the sirens sampled vibe. As soon as you go more than an octave either way it won't sound close to the way it began. With my way the vibe rate and depth never change as you bend the pitch up or down, and this can make for some pretty cool effects. Anyway, the moral of this story should be that there are so many things that you can do with Impulse Tracker that it's a crime if you don't experiment with it and discover a few of them.

Trax Survey]-------------------------------------------------[Exxon]-- Hmmm, one day the idea came to my head, that one could do a column here with a weekly "#trax survey". It was not easy to get some answers of you #traxers, but I managed, somehow..:) I dunno if I'll continue this, but anyway, to come to the point, here's the first #trax survey on the topic "Where does your nickname come from ?" (answers in no particular order) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [Arclight] my nick came from an eleet hax0r in a Shadowrun book.. :) [cryp_bld] I was going through a morbid teenager stage and my nick just popped into my head. Cryptic Blood. I want to change it, but everyone knows me by this so....Guess I'm stuck :) [QPorcupine] Quantum Porcupine comes from the fact that 1. i'm a porcupine and 2. i used to really be into quantum mechanics [mak0] it comes from "mako shark", the world's only (so-far) warm-blooded shark :) [Diablo] I am the devil, hence the nickname [MPuffin] I didn't like any of my old names [MPuffin] and then I decided to name myself after my favorite animal, the puffin ;) [MPuffin] wewp ;) [kosh] I found it on a milk carton [dennisc] i got my nick from a fuel company [dennisc] my old nick was "rOttErdAM kENNY" but now that KoNE broke up i figured I'd better change with the times [sirrus] my nick used to be purple motion but people started liking my music so i changed it [GBlues] khyron's old nick was burg3r d34th (no joke there) [Heat] My nick is Heat because i thought that Animated_Virtual_ Nacho_Sauce was too long. [Heat] my real old nick (like, errr, 5-6 years ago or so) was bart simpson. yes, you may proceed to shoot me now. [Paradoks] Heat: At least it wasn't Barney the Dinosaur... [dennisc] basehead is someone who's addicted to base. like he was in his youth [ami] exxon: wtf are you yammering about? :)) ExxoN/oSS exxon@freecity.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --[5.
