Comments on ModArchive

by Viraxor, Aug 2024-Dec 2025

sat in my module directory for quite a while
I discarded it because I thought the choir arps don't fit
then I revisited it in Aug 2025 and said
"hey this is so cool. gotta finish this one
and put it on the upcoming album"

there was quite a lot of text here beforehand,
you know that kinda venting shit
about me dreaming of another life or whatever,
so I deleted it and now idk if I regret it?
kinda but kinda not because it was shitty cringe

uh idk I just know I was in a special mood
which resulted in that beginning chord progression
(probably the most awesome thing I ever composed)
so I tried really hard to make something that'd fit
and I made that arp thingy but it sounded very dissonant to me
so I was disappointed and left it to collect dust
until July this year when I was looking through my old wips
and found it again

lesson: save all your modules even if they're trash
you might have an epiphany when you're revisiting them

sequencing drums like this is very interesting and hard.
it's like making your own melody, but with the drums, of sorts.
lots of little things to fix and making it flow well...
I always liked what Joe Morello did for his drum solo on
Take Five, it always felt so melodic and poetic and different.
drum solos are usually insanely technical bursts of percussion
all over the place, but Morello did something entirely unique.
even his bandmates were taken aback because they expected
a typical drum solo. in fact, the track was made for the
drummer to show off on his kit.
drum solos never sound like that.
drums never sound like that, actually.
nothing sounds like that.
I guess it was a bit of inspiration, IDM aside.
what I did is 100 levels below Joe Morello's solo,
take a listen to that one :) it's on the Time Out album
                             by The Dave Brubeck Quartet (1959)
                       classic jazz album as evidenced by ^^^^

also for some reason I tried very hard not to sample any songs
from albums like I usually do.
all samples are from discord servers, calls, other modules,
games, there are some LMMS stock samples as well and even BotB compos.
I even made samples #15 and #31 in 2023 for my module res_lofi_irs.xm
                                                (sad song for mom&dad)
but there's no Beyonce, no Hair soundtrack and none of the
other albums I've ripped from :)
a lot of these are from various old sample directories
(makes sense since it was started in August of 2024)

#samples#
* Battle of the Bits dot Com (01-04, 33)
* keygen modules (05-07)
* LMMS (08-13)
* discord calls (14, 16, 17, 21, 27)
  (16 and 17 are from Ling Lin)
* res_lofi_irs.xm (15, 31)
* 24 Games for Windows 95 (19)
* CORAX.mo3 (20)
* Facebook Bolt app (22-24)
* Dynasty (25)
* Rags to Riches flash game (26)
* Luxor 3 (29, 30)

subsong 2 is the unused ending

Mp3 file details

Waveform of Amarantha by Viraxor, left channel above, right channel below: level in dB against time, 5:03 long. Open the waveform at full size (opens in a new tab)
Waveform A picture of the whole recording from start to end. The taller the shape, the louder that moment; the left channel is on top and the right channel below it. The scale up the side is the level in dB, the one along the bottom is the time. Select the picture to open it at full size.
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.
6.9 MB
7 277 051 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.
5:03
minutes : seconds
Tempo How fast the tune goes, in beats per minute - the speed you would tap your foot at. This was measured automatically by the station's analyser (ffmpeg and bpm-tools' "bpm"), not typed in by a person, so it is not guaranteed to be 100% accurate: tunes without a steady beat can throw it, and where it is wrong it is usually exactly half or double the tempo you would count.
113 BPM
a walking tempo
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.
192 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.
−16.9 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.
6.7 LU
moderate
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 12
11.8 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.
−19.7 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.
−19.6 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.
0.08 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.
−13.2 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.
No

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.

album The album or collection the file says it belongs to. Stations and encoders sometimes use this field for notes of their own.
