Bass Compact

[Clyde]

If this is a no no, then I'll have to stick to using a varly big dll. I am a fan of using Bass as a few things outlined below.

Heres the question:

I wonder if anybody with the know how would be willing or able to create a non dll needed stripped down version of Bass, for Freebasic as an include?

I would attempt this but I have no knowledge of such stuff, and I think this would be ideal for alot of people in our community as it caters for a lot of tracker formats for one, plus it's very own mo3. And I love the syncing stuff.

I know there is a lot of unneccassary stuff in the current bass.dll, stuff like enviromental audio ( eax ), and things like reverb and panning. It would be so cool for an include, and as we use it for non profit making material, should be ok to do so.

Yours faithfully,

Is it this bass.dll? http://www.un4seen.com/
If so, no chance.  It has an (expensive!) shareware license and no source.
Better off using ufmod or something else that can be linked directly with your exe.

Or you could use minifmod, rbz made a wrapper for it

If you're in need of a sample-compressor (you mentioned mo3), I could try to dig out some of my sources from the last millenium

Thats a bit of a shame; I guess when Im a bit more experienced, I'll have a look into making a music player with popular tracker formats.

I like the way Bass deals with syncing, I dont like the method of checking for a change in volume to do something based on a bass drum; like was the only method available in Blitz + Bass; with FB+bass you can apply a trigger routine depending on a certain sample; as there's support for pointers. There are other ways too, which I have not explored yet.

Didn't realize there was a license for using Bass. So I'll have to stop using that then.

Thanks for the heads up,
Clyde.

Congrats to hellfire,  I just did the easy part

Sounds very excitting and thanks for the info etc Rbz / HellFire, only draw back it only supports XM's - it's not a major problem for me at the moment as I have managed to persuade one of my musicians to compose XM's, took some doing mind hehe as they do prefer IT.

However something like that with multiple formats would be awesome. Dont know how feesable that would be to make. Also a shame about not being able to make a cut down version of Bass, I know that some one in Blitz made a stripped version.

None the less, Will have a session of experimenting with miniFmod during this week.

Cheers and thanks for your respone,
Clyde.

There are various mod2xm programs which seem mostly not to screw up.  There can be differences in how the tracker players interpret the parameters for the fx.

Impulse Tracker (and it's windows-clone Schism Tracker) can save XM - you just have to avoid it-specific features in your song.

I know that some one in Blitz made a stripped version.

"Freeware" doesn't mean you can make arbitrary changes to a program.
Someone should at least ask Ian if that's in his itention.
