When I have time to download all the last month's popular/underdog songs. :p

Live isn't working, it requires another off-site server box. But the playlist can be almost updated live in between songs.

That's right people, it's coming true. Open beta will be this week working out bugs and such. But we do have a working semi-live radio in the works which will be streaming Newgrounds audio portal songs.

The shows are an extension of New UnderGrounds Vent. The radio server is Windows Media format and starts at 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Pacific. The testing will consist of server load and bandwidth tweaking. (Server can stream over 100 people at a time, but I'll have to start paying more.)

Link will be released when the playlist engine is ready for broadcast. If you wish to be an Alpha tester join the NUG Vent as I will be doing configuration throughout the following days.

RESTRICTIONS (Time to be a dick):
1. All songs will be re-meta tagged properly to the original author's Newground name.
2. No copyrighted material can be in the song at all, this includes samples taken from songs.
2b. MIDI Reconstructions of copyrighted songs are not allowed either.
3. No, you cannot upload your songs to the server, all songs are re-moderated before adding to the master playlist.
3b. Underdogs, contest songs, popular songs of the week (not specifically top 5) and underdog songs of the week are all considered and are great space fillers XD.
4. All genres will be broadcast.
5. Rule #10

Extra: This is a real, dedicated, and personally (and physically) managed server at a local data center.
(Until a higher-up gives the green light to call it Newgrounds Radio it's called NUG Radio.)

Any suggestions? :p

I want Darkside's babies!

Stereotypical Madness = synth bass/lead of rage + fat saws and drum/break beat bass right? Precision murderous rampage with the intent of one having no goal and nothing to lose but to kill as many as possible because being so pissed off? Right?

RAAAAAWRR!

Free cookies for anyone who can make a killing rampage song that doesn't follow the stereotype. :D

M-Audio and Creative SoundBlaster cards have ASIO even though they don't specify it. I'm using a SoundBlaster Audigy 2 and it has it's own massive I/O list courtesy of it's own ASIO driver.

I r submitted, I demand better crush synth bass plz kthxbye. GRRR RAWR!

also adding low frequencies to reverb mke the sound "muddy", i'm not the only one saying this
Diplo say it and John Moxey ... well, maybe i'm not familiar with the style

Yes they do which creates a decibel bleed (anything that goes under 40Hz translates back up to 60-100Hz) I'll add that to the list of things to add and how to fix in the next tutorial or another one. :)

You're just jealous I can freestyle strings on vent. :p <3

Yay for solus! :D

And thanks guys, I'll reward you with the current version of Phoenix Chronicles Episode 6 "Runaway."

*Bows*

Keygen music is usually small in file size that is under 50KB or less and specifically programmed by multi-layering DirectSound, GM or even computer 8bit synths that are easily compressed to almost nothing. It is normally not an MP3 but a scripted sequence of notes like MIDI files but much more advanced.

What programs to use? Most likely ModPlug.

To further explain, Keygen music is normally programmed by the creator of the keygen or group to define that it is indeed genuine of the creator. If so, the programmer(s) know enough knowledge to really pump the size down to under 100KB and include more features. Why? Just for looks and reputation.

Hope that helps. :)

(Buy what you frequently use though.)

Here's mine.

No pianos 4 j00!

Hmmm sad and emotional you say? Well unfortunately I don't have any razors or black hair dye for that matter. Are they required?

FL8 = FL7 v1.1

Only get it if you're desperate and want all the little toys and features (like Edison, new effect presets, slightly better memory management, etc.)

I now use FL8 XXL and it's just a host, I no longer use defaults and much of the soundfonts and VST's I use need the extra spice (I'm looking at you Rig :p.) So if you're just using defaults stick with whatever you currently have, and if you have nothing get FL6, or just buy the standard FL8 package.

Hmm, would he really need midi to usb? I thought most computers had a midi input?

My old computer did, newer ones don't even have the Joystick/MIDI jack.

Find yourself a MIDI to USB (like Turtle Beach USB MIDI) and from there you enable MIDI input from FL.

No, just different priority right now. :p

(PC is getting animated, there's a teaser.)

Once I get finished with one of my other client's site revamping I'll get to work on programming the radio/podcast hybrid engine. (Sorry for the delay of you all expecting it within a week, people have dibs on my programming services list XD.)

But anyway I can fill you in on all the details...

-Any player that supports opening mp3's via URL are supported
-Radio shows are undetermined, though I'm known for bridging hard gaps.
-Playlist is updated hourly, though they are not user controlled

Maestro is mostly in charge in filtering the songs for the list, but these are my requirements for submissions:

-Songs must be at least 1 minute long, loop songs may only loop 3 times to fulfill that requirement.
-Any crackling or dB bleeding in the songs will be rejected, though I do show mercy for most songs who have that problem.

Here's the mock up of the engine with just 1 song:

The Radcast M3U Emulation
The Radcast MP3 Emulation

Open these links from a player, not your browser.

Cheesy name, yet progressively getting coded.
So far it works with WMP, WinAMP, yet unfortunately it doesn't work with Media Player Alternative (K-Lite Codec Pack)

Though it seems to be calling to an M3U playlist file, it's actually calling to a PHP file that returns links to the songs where ever they may be. Until I get the REAL mp3 emulation working this cheesy and crude mock up will have to do.

In the end it'll just be 1 link that can be opened via browser to open with your favorite player and refreshes itself after the song. (Though some players will have a caching problem and not refresh.)

Sorry if i sound like a n00b

You are a nub. I used the submission to wipe myself after the result of bad fish. We are very busy, except lady, all she has to do is sing. >.> Anyway, you may not get a response but be assured that every post is read. (Cause it's my job being the one with the ultimate ban stick.)

Uhhh. Do you mean me or the douches who came up with that no-live-stream policy? XD

For those of you who are lazy I'll be making a broadcasting hybrid (MindOfTheQ project) to that of podcast for all you who do post submissions on our radio section of the forums. No matter what Maestro says I'm gonna make this sucker out of pure boredom. :p Just load up the link to your favorite compatible .M3U/.MP3 player (and just loop the same URL over and over) and you'll be streaming the radio prototype. Although our provider doesn't allow LIVE streaming, it said nothing about direct download streaming (files) which is basically what it does. ^_^ Note that this is a short-run plan and still throwing around suggestions on how to get the live radio up and running. The link should be up and running within a week. Also those who are submitting music, make sure your files are properly tagged (title, author, text info) when rendering, if it's not I'll reject it for your protection and/or the original author's.

Now if you excuse me, I must hide from Maestro's wrath.

Maestro has created a monster. O.o

All these new people. >.<

Yay matching sigs!

I got a motherboard, a CPU, and some RAM oh boy!....... WHERE'S MY DAMN PONY???!!!! GRRR!

Me likes HQ4 :D Thanks navij11!

I too wish to know the answer to that question... I always thought it was variation of frequencies caused by vibrations of a 14 year old's e-peen on NG. Eh who knows?
