SID Emulation today is perfect, so why bother?
No, its not. Stop pretending. It’s near perfect, the keyword is “emulate”. It means to simulate or reproduce something in another environment than its original environment. Is the audio authentic then? No. Therefore, the music must be recorded from the real environment to ensure the authentic and genuine sound of the C64. Recording from hardware cards or software emulators of the newest kind is not authentic and its not what this project is all about. Please be aware that SID chips have incoming capacitor lines which are made out of natural elements and this means that the filters are impossible to simulate on a computer 100%. And do rememeber that 2 similar chips and C64’s will NEVER have the exact sound on both! The filters are based on nautral ingredients (which are of the analogic world) and therefore there will naturally be deviations from emulation / clones vs the real thing! The C64 is not living in a digital filter sound world, remember that! But don’t get me wrong. The work do
