🎤 Production Notes
This one was tough, as none of the orgas ever responded, forcing me to get creative. The podcast mostly uses stream copy, and I later replaced the tunes that made it to the station with the proper tracked tunes that I mastered myself. While getting in the touch with orgas can be tough on most demo parties, as they're often quite busy, the Gubbdata arrangers were uncooperative and ignored me on the chat.Colophon:The movie "No country for old men" is the inspiration for the title. Gubbdata gets its name from the Swedish term "Gubbe", which means "old man".

Flashback – tracks from the past – Show intro
Welcome to another episode of Flashback, Tracks from the past. The summer is delivering a lot of demo parties. And as I'm recording this, Gubbdata is in full swing. Gubbe means old man in Swedish, and it's quite fitting given the age of the hosts and us, the visitors. And we have six entries competing in the tracked music competition. The winner has not yet been announced,So we play them in order of appearance. First out is Norwegian Siner Caramel of Proxima with the song Jorgenaut.

Caramel of Proxima – Jargonaut
DJ Daemon speaks: Our neighbors to the east are respected sceners with a lot of good tracker musicians, coders and graphics artists. The next tune, “I wanna hold you” was created by Finnish scener Juzdie of Artline Designs.

DJ Daemon speaks: KRDN or Cordon is next up and the third entry in the competition. As you may remember from previous episodes of this podcast, he is from Sweden. And this time he hits us with “Feels like 1992”, a classic Amiga sounding tracker tune.
KRDN or Kordon is next up and the third entry in the competition. As you may remember from previous episodes of this podcast, he is from Sweden and this time he hits us with feels like 1992, a classic Amiga sounding track tune.
KRDN – Feels like 1992
DJ Daemon speaks: Scandinavia dominates this compo! You see, Ma2e of Triace is back and he, like Caramel, is Norwegian. The song is called Sweet-o-cutiepie.

DJ Daemon speaks: Slaze of Defiance comes from Sweden and tells me that he is spending many hours of his spare time composing tunes right now. And it shows, he has been hitting the demo compo charts at Forndata 2021 and earlier Revision 2021. Rumour is that he is aiming for Edison Party 2021 as…
Slays of Defiance comes from Sweden and tells me he's spending many hours of his spare time composing tunes right now. And it shows he has been hitting the Demo Comp charts at Fondata and earlier Revision Demo Party 2021. The rumor is that he's aiming for Edison Party 2021 as well. We'll see. The tune is called Temporal Anomaly.
Slaze – Temporal Anomaly
DJ Daemon speaks: Final entry is Vintrospective with the tune “An Answering Mood”. I have to admit I draw a blank when trying to find anything about him or her. But it will probably become clear later on and then I will update the description of the episode. But please enjoy the soft and nice song…
The final entry is Vintrospective and the tune is called An Answering Mood. I have to admit I draw blank when trying to find anything about him or her. But it will probably become clear later and then I will update the description of the episode. But please enjoy the soft and nice song that really sets, well, the mood.
Vintrospective – An answering mood
DJ Daemon speaks: And that's all of them. So, my opinion? I personally like them all, but I think Slaze, Vintrospective and KRDN should be the contenders for the gold medal. My favorite is Vintrospective's “Answering mood”, as I'm a sucker for calm tunes with nice loops. KRDNs tune, like its title…
That's all of them. So, my opinion then? I personally like them all, but I think Slays, Vintrospective and KRDN should be the contenders for the gold medal. My favorite is Vintrospective's unanswering mode. You see, I'm a sucker for calm tunes with nice loops. KRDN's tune, like the title implies, sounds like it was made in 1992, and I like that. Slays's...temporal anomaly takes some listening to in order to fully enjoy. Heavier than you expect and only better for it.
Fearofdark – My Spectrum's On Fire
Fear of dark, my spectrum's on fire. Well, put it out then.Right now it's Saturday evening and the party is still running. We have had lots of nice demos. Legendary Mahoney talking about coding on the C64. LFT repurposing an ancient telephone. And now Mibri bringing you the blippity bloppity beats as a true retro DJ should. The brains behind the whole party? Yeah, that's the gubs themselves. Hedning and Frid or...Is it Fred?

Slaze – Stringfellow Hawke
DJ Daemon speaks: I'm not advertising things, as this station isn't earning any money. But this endorsement is free. Assembly64, created by Hedning, is a marvellous program for Windows allowing you to sync all C64 programs, tunes, demos and games you can think of.
Slays Stringfellow Hawk. It's the theme from Airwolf. There was a competition here where the contestants made tracked versions of the intro song from the old TV series. That was yesterday by the way. I'm not advertising stuff as this station isn't earning any money. But this endorsement is free.Assembly 64, created by Hetning by the way, is a marvelous program for Windows allowing you to sync all your C64 programs, tunes, demos and games. I use it to fill my 128GB USB stick that goes into my Ultimate 2 Plus. But if you only do emulation, Assembly 64 will still work for you.Google for assembly 64 and see for yourself.
Ronny of Farbrausch and _Rohformat (bmp) – Diese augenblicke werden nie vergehen
DJ Daemon speaks: Coreus on our Discord channel seems to like Farbrausch, so this is for him. Also a shoutout to all the others on the channel.
Ronnie of Farbroush and Ro format BMP. The song is called Dis Augenblikke verden ni vergeren. Which simply means those moments in time will never be forgotten. This is something I play for Coreos on our Discord channel. He seems to like Farbroush and of course it's a great demo group. Also a shout out to all the others on the channel.You make this station great again. You should absolutely join us. Go to discord.io slash t-e-r-n and chat with us.

Cyborg Jeff Smiling Redis Square My vacation is coming up, so the podcasts have to be recorded before or from another place. I haven't figured this one out yet, but I will.

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.
- 86.3 MB
- 90 442 774 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.
- 1:01:50
- 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.
- −9.1 LUFS
- on the loud side
- 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.
- 1.3 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 8
- 8.0 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.
- −11.2 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.
- −11.2 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.
- 0.03 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.
