That is a personal opinion, not a scientifically proven fact. Also performance benefits of using fixed vs floating point was valid 15 years ago. Today, those performance benefits are mostly moot. That IS a fact.


You need to stop trolling.

Well, technically assembler will sound better as you can do more within the same processor constraints .. but that is nothing inherent to assembler. Am I missing something?

Yes, you're missing something. Using assembler instead your regular C++ to do the number crunching does not change how a certain algorithm sounds if all the same math with all the same data types is being performed!

The fact is that Lentini said or wrote that (assuming your quote is correct, of course), not that any of what he claims is true.

If you really believe that quoting someone else claiming something - without giving the slightest proof for this claim whastoever - does make it even just slightly more factual than if you only made that unfounded claim yourself, then there is no point in arguing anything with you. Chances are even a conversation about the Teletubbies would go straight over your head.

So, if I use /FA on my VC++ compiler to output the assembly language and then assemble it, everything will sound smoother? LMAO, codswallop!

PS I've been writing in various assembly languages since the 80s.

Yes that is correct. Speaking of languages, codswallop? What gives, can’t think of something more creative?

My day job for many years was writing avionics software. If I use this assembler "trick" will our aircraft handle turbulence better?

Creative, nah not me, but how about Fry & Laurie's "sloblock"? Better?

give yourself a round of applause for that filibuster. Now that we are past that, I can see what you are doing. Perhaps you sense that I am in fact right and you are backed into a corner so you are hedging your arguments multiple times over with the assuming your quote is correct bit and not that any of what he claims is true bit. The fact remains that the smart money would be better off placing their faith in the Father of the Modern DAW for Windows than some guy named Jens. Period.

I wouldn’t know the answer to this question but I do know it takes one to know one

[mrcleats]

This is a phat machine code 0: O

You really don't need to hear the different to know that there is one.

Assembler gets you most of the way there, but machine code makes the best noise.

Well, duh! Nice round numbers = nice round sound. Little known fact, those decimals in floating point mercilessly decimate the sound like a bad bitcrusher. I've found that when trying to make things sound like they're underwater, floating point just doesn't work because, well, the sounds keep floating up to the surface. Also, when mixing punk, industrial or noise music with software using assembly language - everything sounds a little too "structured" and well-put-together if you know what I mean. So I put the code through a polarity inversion, transforming it into "disassembly" language to get the sound I need. So simple!
