Podcast episode profile for 129. A tracked mix-tape
Back in the 90s, we had the famous "mix tape". It was generally a cassette tape with all our favorite music on. And we played this music on our Walkmans, while strolling around in the city. Today is a great modern time mix tape with some classic tracked music and more modern variants. DJ Daemon talks briefly and plays the best tracked music for an hour.
ericade.radio knows the chiptune and demoscene! We're the radio station playing all the best tunes from the most prominent, promising or trending artists in the scene. We also know about the artists and songs as well.

Transcript
ericade.radio - Time for Flashback, tracks from the past - with your host DJ Daemon
Time for flashback. Tracks from the past. With your host, DJ Daemon. Welcome to another show and today we got one hour of the greatest track music I found recently. Well, let's go on and start it up. It's an unknown tracker artist and feminine taco.
DJ Daemon welcomes you and presents the next tune.

DJ Daemon talks about the next tune that he thought was already on station, when it was not. Problem solved!
Alright, about next song. It's actually Format and Dream again. I thought we had it on the station, but when I checked our database we found out that no, it's not there and that's a problem or an error we have rectified now. So enjoy Format at his best.
4-mat - Dream again
DJ Daemon warns you that next song contains the f-word.
Why so serious? It's time for a novelty of a song. It's Death Jester of Anarchy and Orgasmod. Yes, it's all about porn, but in audio. And you have been warned they used the F-word here, so be careful if you have sensitive ears.yeah!
Deathjester of Anarchy - Orgasmod
DJ Daemon presents the next tune and promises to play more normal tunes.
yeah, that was something weird. But we play normal music more than we play that kinda, well you know, novelty songs. So we're going on with DJ Keys and Darkside Combo Edit. A really good one.
Dj Keys - Darkside Compo Edit
DJ Daemon presents the second and last medley for today.
Alright, great tune that one. It was DJ Keys and a Darkside car.And it's time for the second medley of today. We're going on with Circus and Wings, Figure Farter and Ploxhouse and Velvet of Tokyo Dawn, apartment 49.
Xerxes - Wings
FigureFarter - Plok's House

DJ Daemon you're listening to your local station --- available everywhere.
You're listening to Flashback Tracks from the past, your local radio here in Stockholm, and the rest of the world, that is. I'm DJ Daemon and we are going on with Jörgen Andersson and Monotomix. Keep tuned and if you want to see something more from us, you can go to ericade.radio, their webpage.
J0rgen Andersson - Monotomix
DJ Daemon talks about the new "more powerful" server.
So what's going on on the Arikade Radio Network, the station and the podcast? Well, we got a new, more powerful server which means that everything will work much better and you will have a much faster response on the webpage and stuff. I hope you enjoy this. We're going on with Fusion Mixer and Tunnel Vision.
Fuzion_mixer (tqc001) - Tunnel Vision
DJ Daemon sings a short tune and presents the next one.
Next stop is Mana Mana. Mana Mana. No, actually that's the name of the artist. It's Mana Mana. And only I love you.
Manamana - Only "I love you"
Could you possibly rewind and come again?
DJ Daemon tells you to send song suggestions to radio@ericade.net.
Alright, that was a cool song and a really nice tracked module. If you want to hear something else that we aren't playing right now, please send an email to radio at erikade.net. Radio at erikade.net and tell me what the song is and we will play it if we can. On with Peter Salomonsson and Garbage Collection.
Peter Salomonsen - Garbage collection
DJ Daemon wants a new genre for "heavy chiptunes" because the next tune is exactly that.
I wonder is there a genre called Heavy Ship Tunes? Totally should be one for this next song that's Soda of Dark Age and Pixel Waves. You're tuned to Flashback tracks from the past and I'm DJ G-One.
Soda7 of Darkage - Pixel Waves
DJ Daemon leads you into the good night with two last tunes of this hour.
It's time to lead you into that good night with the last two songs of this whole hour. That would be Sakuya and Theme of Windows XP and last will be Walkman with Klische par Klische. You're tuned to flashback tracks from the past and I'm DJ Daemon saying so and I'll see you in a month.

He got his Commodore 64 in 1989 and his first Amiga in 1990. A huge fan of tracker music and have had a long standing dream to create a radio show playing that kind of music. In 2020, that dream came true and in december Amiga Flashback started as a podcast. It was later renamed Flashback, tracks from the past and here we are.
He is also an orga for Swedish demo party Edison and a total retro nerd.

Mp3 file details
Open the waveform at full size (opens in a new tab)
- Scan status Whether the station’s analyser could read this mp3. “OK” means every number in this box was measured from the actual audio, not copied from a tag that somebody typed.
- OK
- measured from the file itself
- Scanned When the file was last analysed. If the mp3 is replaced afterwards, these numbers describe the old version until it is scanned again.
- File size How much room the mp3 takes on a disk, and how much data you use when you play or download it. It is roughly the bit rate multiplied by the length.
- 93.4 MB
- 97 938 740 bytes
- File last changed When the mp3 on our server was last written - usually the day it was uploaded, or encoded again.
- Length How long the recording plays. It is measured from the audio itself, so it is right even when a tag in the file says something else.
- 1:06:51
- hours : minutes : seconds
- Bit rate How much data is spent on each second of sound. More data keeps more detail when the audio is squeezed into an mp3: 128 kbit/s is acceptable, 192 is good, and 320 is the most an mp3 can hold.
- 195 kbit/s
- good quality
- Sample rate Digital audio is a long row of measurements of the sound wave. This is how many are taken every second. 44.1 kHz is the CD standard and 48 kHz the video and broadcast standard - both capture everything a human ear can hear.
- 44.1 kHz
- 44 100 measurements a second
- Channels How many separate signals the file holds. Mono is one. Stereo is two - left and right - which is what lets a sound be placed somewhere between your speakers.
- Stereo
- 2 channels
- Codec The method used to shrink the audio. MP3 leaves out the detail an ear is least likely to miss, which makes the file about a tenth of the size of the original recording.
- MP3
- Loudness The average loudness of the whole recording, the way a listener hears it (“integrated loudness”, in LUFS). The closer to 0, the louder. Music services aim for about -14 and podcasts for about -16, so that you do not have to reach for the volume between tracks.
- −14.3 LUFS
- typical for streaming and podcasts
- Loudness range The distance between the quiet passages and the loud ones, in LU (1 LU is 1 dB). A small number means an even, compressed sound - good in a car or on a phone. A large number means big swings between soft and loud.
- 2.0 LU
- very even
- True peak The highest level the signal ever reaches, including the peaks that appear between the measurements when the file is turned back into sound. 0 is the ceiling: above about -1 dBTP, a recording can crackle (“clip”) on some players.
- −2.4 dBTP
- safely below the ceiling
- Dynamic range How far the loudest peaks stand above the loud parts of the recording, in dB - the “DR” number that music collectors compare albums by. A low number (under 8) means the sound has been squeezed until everything is equally loud: punchy, but tiring to listen to. 14 and up means the music has room to breathe, with real hits and real quiet. It says nothing about how loud the file is: turning the volume down does not change it. Chip music made of steady square waves naturally lands low.
- DR 10
- 10.3 dB · moderately dynamic
- Left channel level The average strength of the left channel over the whole recording (“RMS”), counted in dB below the loudest level a digital file can hold (dBFS). More negative means quieter. Compare it with the right channel.
- −16.8 dBFS
- average (RMS) over the whole file
- Right channel level The average strength of the right channel over the whole recording (“RMS”), counted in dB below the loudest level a digital file can hold (dBFS). More negative means quieter. Compare it with the left channel.
- −16.7 dBFS
- average (RMS) over the whole file
- Channel balance The left level minus the right level. Close to 0 dB means both sides are equally loud. More than about 1 dB and the whole mix leans towards one ear.
- 0.02 dB
- balanced
- Stereo width How strong the part that DIFFERS between left and right is, compared with the part they share. A very low number (-40 dB or less) means both sides carry the same sound - mono in practice. A higher number means a wider stereo picture; a very high one can sound thin on a single speaker.
- −15.7 dB
- ordinary stereo
- Cover art in the file Whether a picture is stored inside the mp3 itself. A player shows it as the album art when the file is played somewhere else - in a car, on a phone, offline.
- Yes
ID3 tags Text stored inside the mp3 file itself - title, artist, album and so on. It is what a music player, a phone or a car stereo shows while it plays the file, and it travels with the file wherever it is copied.
Measured from the mp3 file on our server by the station’s own analyser. Point at a label, or select its question mark, for what the number means.
