What would be the chance that this demo is released at the same day (and almost within the same hour as far as I can tell) as Swedish TV broadcasting a documentary of the song...
more than a coincidence, I wonder?? :) |

Great stuff, really used all the tricks in the book.. :)
Although a somewhat misleading name, given that it's not at all MP3, and feasible for voice samples only. |

"i wonder about using mp3/ogg decompression for ingame sound effects ;) which format is more cpu consuming while decompressing?"
ogg (Vorbis) has greater lust for CPU resources than mp3. |

Insanely cool. The one thing I would suggest would be to pick a new name. Otherwise some dumb person on the Internet might mistake this for an decoder for MP3-format sound files on C64, rather than a custom sound encoding system.
Still, I'm looking forward to new songs encoded in this format. I'd make some myself, but my PC isn't powerful enough to run the encoder! |

| A friend of mine that are a web banner designer thought this were too low sound quality, but after I explained what the c64 really is he were like... hmm... I challenged him in doing a banner in flash in 320x200 with sound in 64k ram, even that is more than one can use... he said OK I will do it... the day after he called me up and said he thought it were really impressive that thing on the c64 as he had tried to do a low kilobyte of the song and he did not wanna say how much the mp3 file landed on, but he could say that he were not able to hear what were said and that the file was still massive compared to 64k filezise... ha ha... c64 nerds for the win! |

| What?! An entire 2-minute song sampled and crammed into this demo?! This is just... awesome! |

| This is just insanely cool. I wouldn't mind hearing some history, how Mahoney came up with the technique and how long it took to develop etc... |

So now Visa Röster will start making real sids? ;)
By the way.. What is the exact reason that resid emulation fails so hard on this program? Is it because waveform 0 is not emulated in resid? |

@Irwin & Edhellon:
My further guess would be, because Suzanne Vega is sort of considered to be the mother of MP3 in any case.
From Wikipedia entry on MP3:
Karlheinz Brandenburg used a CD recording of Suzanne Vega's song "Tom's Diner" to assess and refine the MP3 compression algorithm. This song was chosen because of its nearly monophonic nature and wide spectral content, making it easier to hear imperfections in the compression format during playbacks. Some jokingly refer to Suzanne Vega as "The mother of MP3". |

| The power of a PC to prepare data for the c64. This is a remarkable innovation |

hmm, well with the older vice I cant get rid off a high pitched carrirer freq. I thought it uses PWM.
hint: been reading the summary, with that knowledge (formants, pitch control, etc) you could make a sid tune with lyrics I guess. |

| It does use the 8 bit playout thing on voice 1. Very cool how the other 2 voices are used in reconstructing the sample :) a lot of matlab brute force needed for encoding :) I like this! |

| Doesn't voice also sound better than music at low bitrates due to its limited frequency spectrum? |

| @irwin: my guess for the choice of music is that this track was used as test-track when developing the original mp3 codec at Fraunhofer. |

Amazing! but why a cappella? why no instruments, only voice?
