=========================================================================
=============== ARE YOU EXPERIENCING BAD SOUND QUALITY?? ================
=========================================================================

I have tested several songs on different sound cards, with different
players, and I found out that under certain circumstances the sound
quality can get quite bad, or at least weird. For example, Cubic player
has a weird way of handling tone portamento's and panning settings. This
can result in disturbed sound, not corresponding with the original sound.
I therefore recommend to play my music ( and ALL the other .XM-files you
have in your music collection ) in Fasttracker II.
Second, playing my songs on a Gravis Ultrasound (Max, Ace, whatever...)
can also give some strange effects... For instance, I often use two chan-
nels for the bassdrum and breakbeat. The GUS has a nasty side-effect when
playing a pattern containing two identical tracks. You will hear some sort
of flanging-effect over the sample that is being played in these two
tracks. This can be solved by adding panning commands to the tracks.
Example: if you have a bassdrum set on two tracks, then you should add
the command '800' to one and '8FF' to the other track, on every note.
( you can also add 'P0' and 'PF' to every note in the volume column )
The sound will now be normal again. You'll probably ask why I myself don't
do this? Well, that's because the double bassdrum with these panning effects
added has less impact on my Soundblaster 16. In other words, the bassdrum
will become 'less bassdrum' when played with these panning commands :)

In short, I have encountered the following problems in other players than
Fastracker II and some problems on Gravis Ultrasound cards:

- Cubic: - fucked up portamento's
         - same for panning
         - nasty ticks in samples that don't occur in FT2

- GUS:   - lousy flanging in samples played over two or more channels
         - fucked up volume-fadeouts ( try 'KMH-OTHR.XM' on a GUS and you
           will hear an incorrect fadeout in the last two patterns )
         - fucked up volume envelopes ( especially in combination with
           Cubic Player )

- IT2.10 - fucked up portamento's
         - wobbly panning
         - lame pingpong-loop (check out Mermaid for proof)

So, if you want the original sound, just play the tracks on a Soundblaster
and in Fasttracker II. I will buy a Gravis Ace very soon, so then I will
start to (re)write my songs for use with Gravis cards.
Please don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with the GUS, I just want
to explain to you all why my songs (and lots of other songs) might sound a
little strange.

Thank you.
