I found all of my Broadway Karkat/CantabileGato songs I downloaded from tindeck in 2013.

I have such mixed emotions of happy, shocked, excited, but also really sad. This brings me back to high school. To my friends I don’t hear from any more and just the simplicity of life.

Now please excuse me while I cry a little while listening to shooshpap you.

So I was listening to the Doom 3DO soundtrack last night, sort of in awe at how perfect it is. While there are lots of takes that turn the Doom soundtrack in to heavy metal (fitting of what inspired it), the Doom 3DO soundtrack is closer to what actual CD-based video game music sounded like in the early-to-mid 90′s: big ol’ stinky cheese.

So, I got inspired, and decided to try my own take. It wasn’t supposed to have the heavy metal guitar amp over it, but sometimes things sing to you in a certain way. It’s much improved over the last version I put out four years ago.

That would have been the end of things, but this post serves a double purpose: citing upcoming changes in European copyright law, Tindeck will be shutting down on August 1st. Many years ago, I paid to become a lifetime Tindeck Premium member, meaning I could upload as much as I wanted at full quality. I have quite the archive of music living at Tindeck.

When Tindeck shuts down, a lot of that music will be going away. I have a Soundcloud, but Soundcloud’s pricing structure is a lot more strict than Tindeck’s. With Tindeck, I paid once and got a lifetime pass. Soundcloud seriously wants something like $140 a year. I will not be paying Soundcloud for that service. As such, only a limited selection of recent music will be available on my Soundcloud.

To spell things out for you: If you value any of the music I have on Tindeck, download it now. It won’t be around much longer.

For the record, I think the owner of Tindeck is hiding behind the change in UK law to justify getting rid of this anchor around his neck. Tindeck was actively advertising on every page that they were looking to sell the website off for something like two years -- and apparently never found a buyer. It’s obvious the guy doesn’t want to do this anymore, and this is probably his guilt-free way of getting out. A shame, but you gotta do what you gotta do, I guess.

Tindeck is apparently permanently gone and I’m mourning all the Homestuck voice acting now lost to the world

So some of you out there may remember that Chaos Angel Act 3 has some importance to me. Back in 2004 or 2005, it was one of the first MIDI-to-MP3 conversions I did that I was legitimately proud of, and for many years it stood as a happy accident that I found difficult to replicate.

Two years ago, I tried to replicate it again, and came close, but something about it still rubbed me the wrong way. One of the problems was how loud the song was.

So, somebody gave it a like on Soundcloud today, and I decided “I can probably do better.” So here we are. And hey, what do you know! It really is better!

The original MIDI is by Teck.

PSA

If anyone wants to get anything off of Tindeck, might want to do so before the 1st of August! The site is going to be closed and everything deleted because of whats going on in the EU with copywrite laws. Source is a goodbye letter from the founder (link here: http://tindeck.com/goodbye ).

I know I don't usually pipe up about this stuff, but Tindeck was where I found a horde of Homestuck music back in the day, and its a shame to see it go?
