This is one of the better chip tunes I've heard, and I like the softness of it. Points? Yup, 65 and it's place…

mA2E of dS – 6. virtual disco chip

DJ Daemon: Place 4 and 93 points, close to the medals here folks! I wonder if the Germans are trying to sneak in some humour here by calling “Farbrauch” “Farcebrauch”, but it might just be a typo. Donny the Diskowboy has a very classic tracker tune feeling to it. It's by RP of fartbrush, dishbrush,…
Lace 4 and 93 points. Close to the medals folks. I wonder if the Germans are trying to sneak some humor in here by calling Farbrauch Farsebrauch. But it might just be a typo.

DJ Daemon speaks.
At place 7 and getting 77 points, it's total breakfast by warp of fantasy.
w4rp – O7. Hotel Breakfast
DJ Daemon speaks.
I have something of a real love for Amiga and false tracker tunes and all that. But things done with SID chips and stuff like old Atari STs, that is not bad. This is why I like the old school thing as well. We are going to Place 6 and it's a memory of a promise by Florist.
Florist – 06. Memory of a promise
DJ Daemon speaks.
I need to add that Memory of a Promise gets 85 points. So place number 5. would be Psycho Chills by Trius. It gets 97 points and a little bit of spogedness in mymay have invented a new word. Spokeness? I think spokeness feels better. And why not? It's almost Halloween. Just two weeks and here in Sweden we don't care much about it. That's just how it is. Anyway, we're going on with Beric and Hopeless. It's place four and it gets 107 points.
Triace – O5. psycho chills
DJ Daemon speaks.
Barik – O4. Hopeless
DJ Daemon speaks.
have recorded the Windows ding signal into the song. Sorry about that. We're going on with Danko, place number three, bronze and it's called Los Ringo's Modulatoris. It's a Commodore 64 tune and everybody knows what a ring modulator is, right?
Danko – O3. Los Ringos Modulatores
DJ Daemon speaks.
So it's silver time and the silver goes to Delacy of Triad. Yeah, we have both Triad and Fairlight represented. It's a good day, I must say. The song is called Dishonour Club. Is that like Disney Club? We had that in Sweden as well, I remember. yes, point. Yeah, that would be a good idea. 140.
Dalezy of Triad – O2. Disznóklub
DJ Daemon speaks.
second winner so to speak. It's the old school competition and maniacs of noise. First place, Nihal Admirari. I think that's how you pronounce it. And it gets 174 points.
Maniacs of Noise – O1. Nihil Admirari
DJ Daemon: So, was the party any good? I dunno. Didn't attend, which I generally actually try to do. This would have been a miss if regular listener Bittin_ hadn't pointed it out to me. I really tried to attend as many demoparties as I could. But my time is limited, so of this one I cannot speak…
So, was deadline 2021 any good? I don't know, didn't attend. Which I generally actually tried to do. This would have been a miss if regular listener Bitten hadn't pointed it out to me. I really try to attend as many demo parties as I can. But my time is limited so I cannot speak much about this.I watched the clips from the introduction and everything looked professional and good. And the line up then? Yeah, mostly good. Mostly really good. With no tunes put into the competition as a joke. Those are no fun to play as the listeners won't like it. Anyway, this episode is probably the longest one I have produced. Well, except for the New Years and the Christmas episodes.We're leading you into the good night with Johannes Krupp, dreaming of you. And I need to stop, because the software here is screaming. How dare you! You're over-striking our boundary! Yeah, yeah, calm down. Bye bye now from DJ Daemon.
Johannes Krupp – Dreaming of you
DJ Daemon speaks.
Johannes Körrup, dreaming of you. That was what led you into the good night. So, I guess good night.

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.
- 110.2 MB
- 115 588 132 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.
- 1:19:31
- 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.
- 194 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.
- 48 kHz
- 48 000 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.
- 2.4 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.
- 0.0 dBTP
- close to the ceiling - may distort on some players
- 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 13
- 12.8 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.
- −17.0 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.
- −17.1 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.
- 0.04 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.
- −10.5 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.
