About two years ago I purchased a collection of cdg's called SuperCore II
The box was green and there were 16 discs. Two years have passed and the set has since been blue (with a supplementary 2 discs with modern male and female hits 2002) and yellow (with another supplementary set of discs-hits for 2003)
The version in my set, and probably the next sets, has a pretty exciting version of I LOVE ROCK AND ROLL
The last notes and words are..AND DANCE WITH ME!
As Microstudio plays it, the last words are..AND D_ (There are even graphics for these words but they and the music are ignored)
I knew there was some
clipping in this set of discs, but it was hard to pin some down for sure, since a lot of the songs simply fade away and the only bad effects are notes not properly decaying etc. or fading away less gradually.
But this is a definite smoking gun.
(Time for my J.B. Fletcher imitation)
I knew it would be. Motivated by George's and Mlpine's entries I decided to try to find some more mainstream occurences. I have a version of
Suspicious Minds in this Supercore set, but this song fades away. I feel it ends prematurely, but the effect is pretty harmless.
So I examined all the songs on the disc and other discs using a normal cd player program. Any song where the music stopped less than two seconds before the timed end of the track, the music was always cut off by Microstudio. Like I said, most of the effects were barely perceptible. (Fading away etc.)
When I examined the song I LOVE ROCK AND ROLL, I noticed that the final chord and word ended right on the last second. I knew this effect would be perceptible, and I was right!
It's like Microstudio processes the songs one chunk at a time. If the chunk is not big enough, it's time to end the song.
Well time for me to fix supper.
