my first programming job was maintaining a ASP classic web application that did all its database access through COM objects that were written in VB6.

Castlevania X68000 has one of the best soundtracks in the series, if not THE best https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy0POEP6Ndk&t=3050s X68000 seems like such a cool platform too, Japan was a real jerk not sharing that computer with the rest of the world

I still use midi files when messing around with music production, musescore/ableton. Most people probably think of midi files like this though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSwqnR327fk

The roland MT-32 is loving boss, I'm so happy to finally have one! You can tell ScummVM, DOSbox and various other emulators to pipe the midi out to the real hardware as well, I've been listening to a bunch of game soundtracks and you can tell they put a ton of effort into programming custom patches for the thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sicsAugI-k&t=645s

qirex posted:midi seems like the most stable tech standard to date, people are trying to use usb as the transport and extend it with higher resolution and lower latency but it's still used for so much stuff yeah, it's held up incredibly well for 30+ year old tech. in a way it's a victim of its own success - it wouldn't have stuck around long enough for its limitations to become relevant if it hadn't been so solid in the first place. qirex posted:also that's called stadium trance or cheese trance, download a bunch of euphoria or gatecrasher mixes if you want to learn more this on the other had did not hold up well

Those games were released later during the 90s when the general midi standard was established and the MT-32 isn't GM compliant out of the box so it sounds weird But oh ho what is this http://www.rolandus.com/support/general_apps_tools/1713 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RabYvZ2Y2WE Finally found a way to do a direct audio and video capture, too. If only OSX didn't have keyboard shortcuts that interfere with just about everything
