That'd be because most* modern coders are just lazy and unskilled. The problem is clearly not in the hardware, but it takes skill to write programs that can do all this on a C64.
@speeddemon1092 It's all about hardware optimization... Today's PC would look like supercomputers if coders would go back to more efficient languages.
Wow, the music just sounds like somethink you can make in Fruity Loops with Sytrus plugin. The emulators still can't emulate SID properly, that means, music sounds a lot worse on emu.
Sytrus is a FM plugin. SID uses subtractive synthesis. There are others plugins which sound more similar to sid. You can also use Quadrasid from refx as a VSTi in FL. This is the closest thing to the real deal.
Has to be best soundtrack I've ever hear coming out of the C=64. Sid is amazing, I didn't know it could do this althought I've done some music with it myself.
I guess pro is pro because he can pull stunts like these out of that machine. 8)
paradoxbe88 ah but he's a ripping off loser with no real talent. only the know how, to piece others work together and pretend its all "his" work. ;-) . Ah well let him rip off tunes, but he'll pick the wrong sid tune to take and then end up with a pro-musican which phat lawyers, who used to be a scene musican taking him to the cleaners ;-)
I think he will stay WELL clear of scene music .. if he has 1% of sense in future. The scene as a whole (REGARDLESS of machine) will post evidence.. WE ARE WATCHING.. the truth WILL out.. tens of 1000's of sceners KNOW the music.. so making out you made it is a very DUMB thing to do.theft is theft.

Makes you wish you could go back in time and show this to the C64 programmers in 1985. :-D See what your machine can do!

are demos like this played from carts or floppys? I have a c64 but no floppy drive..... It'd be cool to get some demos to put on during parties...

@KaslarProductions you need floppy drive minimum, or 1541 Ultimate. Haven't seen any cartridges with demoscene prods, to be honest.

If someone could post the version with the Revision 4 6581 SID, it would be awesome, the filtering on that version is just otherworldy!

Is there a way you can have the music play through a sidstation (I own one of those but I don't own a c64)?
