@@triplefreedom erm, you know that's copyrighted, right? You get $0 from any income/clicks etc and everything goes to whoever owns that song and they now own this video.

Nice idea comparing modern replacements for the good old SID to the original. I never listened to the X SID but I know the ARM SID. I am a little bit shocked about those harsh digital sounds. Especially with the sound boost enabled. And, as already mentioned, you can configure the ARM SID. The only issue is, that it seems to have slight incompatibily to some SID Player programs. But my biggest "Personal issue" with this video ist the annoying background music. I really like that song but it should be enough to have it as main titles and not all time long.😕

It is difficult to A/B/C compare when loudness levels vary (and there is distracting music between the takes, no matter how much I love Eurythmics), the cognitive function of our listening tend to favour anything slightly louder than an otherwise identical audio signal. It would also be nice linking to the recordings for listening and visual analysis at home since you made all the hard work of setting it up and recording the chips. It is my experience that ARMSID doesn't even get fundamental waveforms right, whereas theXSID is a passable approximation although it's quite different compared to 6581. 6581 is a lot harder to nail compared to 8580, when it comes to emulation or simulation.

@@endwigast5212 The Commodore 64 was officially released on **August 1, 1982**. This home computer had a huge impact on the market, becoming one of the best-selling computers of all time. Although it was launched in 1982, its real impact on the market became fully evident during **1983**. This is the year when the Commodore 64 began to dominate the personal computer market, thanks to its competitive price, advanced graphics and sound capabilities for the time, and support from a vast library of software, including games. As for the **Eurythmics**, their single "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" was released on **January 21, 1983**. The song was hugely successful, becoming one of the most iconic tracks of the decade. So, the connection between the success of the Commodore 64 and "Sweet Dreams" is noteworthy: both had a significant impact in 1983. While the Commodore 64 was solidifying its position as a leader in the home computer market, "Sweet Dreams" was climbing the music charts.

I did a very similar video a few years ago ... my conclusion was that the Armsid is 99% close to the original .. all the others just don't come close ..I am talik 6581.. the original 8580 never sound right to me anyway ...I hope you have them all set to the same model chip.. also the comparison is better done with the sounds side by side .. Great video tho .. keep up the good work 😉

I would have been curious to hear the soundtrack of the Tetris game, the longest soundtrack of all. (over 25 mins) I remember that with one of the first custom SIDs (even emulated C64) , it was really bad and many nuances were missing kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKqaZWaZaJeahsksi=pkWnifoRywrDAvLi

this is strange, before writing the previous post I replied at this givin' a link to another videogame music (Gordian Tomb) that spans over 31 minutes... did I screwed something or was it deleted by purpose? Maybe the BGM from Gordian Tomb doesn't stress that much SIDs featured but it is very (and I mean so) looooooong! Anyway... many ***cheap*** SID replacements simply doesn't compare to TheRealThing[TM]... in order of personal taste there are only FPGASID and ARM2SID/ARMSID that should be considered real replacement while all the others might be useful for testing a faulty C64 Board having no complaints if magic-smoke shows. ^_^
