Mind if I tell about some of the key features that were removed even if you don’t feel like listing them yourself?
Very cool addition of dropping a CON file into Magma and it fills in all the info of song automatically. I noticed the Build and Audition button was removed but because I never used the audition mode its not a big deal.

I noticed the Build and Audition button was removed but because I never used the audition mode its not a big deal.It was added a loooong time ago. But that’s precisely why I highlighted it in the video. Not many people know about it.
Actually, you could do that in the former version too, only it missed the album name/track number and possibly some other things.It didn’t miss anything. v3 adds the ability to detect instrument solos because I didn’t know about it, but everything else it does with v3 it did before.
Mind if I tell about some of the key features that were removed even if you don’t feel like listing them yourself?If I wanted to list the things that were removed, I would have listed them. If I thought it would be useful to have them listed, I would have listed them. Do as you wish, I can’t stop you.
Alright, so among other things (for example audition mode as Sideshow pointed out), the new version do remove the ability to use custom skins, compile LIVE files and is without built-in 24-bit silence tracks, meaning you have to make those yourself now instead of just right clicking to add them for when using high definition 24-bit music files. There was some other things too, though the full list was removed, but yeah basically don’t delete the old version just yet if you use any of these features I would say.
the new version is without built-in 24-bit silence tracks.Honestly, if anybody is only missing this feature, they can happily upgrade, making a 24-bit silence track once and using it everywhere is not a lot of work.

Annoying though to have to locate a folder every time you wanna compile instead of just right clicking inside of Magma
So annoying. But how annoying exactly?
I looked at 84 songs from the C3 database that you either authored in full or in part (i.e. you are in the author credit) and 83 used 16 bit audio and 1 used 15 bit audio (no idea). Not one file used 24 bit audio in the mogg. So either you have compiled an unknown amount of songs using 24 bit audio and MagmaCompiler downsamples to 16 bit, in which case there is no point in using 24 bit files, or you haven’t actually done a single release in 24 bit and are just complaining for the sake of complaining.
Please tell me, which one is it?
Several of Gigakoop’s charts, that I have helped with compiling due to the lack of Linux support but not charted myself, use it so there is where it is used. It makes it much less of a hassle to help him out when I can just compile the songs like I normally do without having to keep blank sound files around in folders instead of inside the program.
I am not going to use the new version, though I am not telling people to not use it themselves either. I am just saying, they should know if they will lose features they use before downloading.
Can you list a few that have been released? I want to verify whether MagmaCompiler is downsampling the audio or not.

I want to verify whether MagmaCompiler is downsampling the audio or not.Every song I’ve authored (with the possible exception of Wrecking Ball due to NL handling those files) uses 24-bit audio. It’s sort of a force of habit of mine since the RBN days, when I was told that it was better to go for the best audio quality you could.

I think it’s only useful in the context of Magma tweaking mixing levels, but there you go.

So if someone can prove that I’m wrong, that’d be great. Otherwise, MagmaCompiler is downsampling to 16-bit.
