SID collections ∞

• HVSC (High Voltage Sid Collection)

  • The de facto collection. It’s so large that there are other projects to help filter through it all, like best of VARIOUS.

• CGSC (COMPUTE! Gazette SID Collection)

  • The magazine COMPUTE!’s Gazette also released music
  • http://www.c64music.co.uk/ — Compute’s Gazette Sid Collection. The HVSC doesn’t have Gazette sids.
    — 2009-04-13 — Unavailable, I emailed the author. He says he put it back online, but I don’t know how to download it yet. =)
    — https://web.archive.org/web/20100125200913/http://replayer.com:80/sids/cgsc/ — Keeps an archive of the above CGSC SIDs, but nothing seems to work. 2009-04-13 — I emailed him but got no response.

• SOASC (Stone Oakvalley’s Authentic SID Collection)

  • If you want the real quality that only an actual Commodore 64 can produce, with no possible quality loss through emulation or a hardware product, then check this out. They record on actual hardware and convert them into mp3s!
  • I hope they kept the sources and can make .opus instead, and release the sources, or use .flac or some other lossless compression.
