Ben Speirs' SPEIRMIX GALAXY - DDRDave Mega Pack! 10 Songs + 2 Bonus!

The whole simfiling community exists on loopholes. I sincerely doubt Ben would get any bother about it.

you can consider your money a donation any way you want but paying someone is not a donation
i don't think you get how patreon works

---

...and there's the problem. What you consider it as doesn't matter were some party to take issue, because, from a factual standpoint, what they see is that by paying [x] amount of dollars, you are given a package with a quantity of song in it. That's a transaction, not a donation. Just doing a literal donation with only an implicit possibility of a work in return is safer because then that means there's no set value to establish Ben as a vendor.

Okay! Sorry I dipped away there for a bit and just kept tabs on what was being said!

Seems like a Patreon wasn't exactly the best choice for this, and you'll have to forgive me for that! All I really know are Kickstarter and Patreon and it seemed the latter was the more appropriate choice (even though now I'm thinking about it maybe even Fiver would've been better (although even then it's paying for a service if I'm not mistaken!)). I'll take a look at Ko-Fi and alternatives to see what best suits but from discussion alone I can see Ko-Fi is most likely going to be the best way to go!

I totally understand your confusion, the world of crowdfunding, especially for fan/derivative works, can be very tricky to figure and safely carve a niche in. Hopefully you get it all figured out!

Also, I should take the time to thank you for your work over the years, the Galaxy simfiles have been a source of fun for me and my friends for quite a while now.

it's irritating how i bring this up to try and ensure ben doesn't get into any legal trouble and i immediately get hit with woodworkers telling me i'm "bashing people for their opinions" or some dumb shit :/
i'm not saying supporting someone is a bad thing or something and i don't even know how you could even get that from my original post - i just happen to know the legal system isn't so forgiving and that a patreon setup for essentially copyright infringement isn't wise
but what do i know, right?

I think you just came off a little over aggressive Anony, even I found when reading that, using words like "gross" and "I beg the fuck to differ" or whatever to me did come across more of a personal attack than you may have intended (hence my LONG reply trying to clear the air aha) when just "hey dude, patreon might not be the best thing for this" would've achieved the intent much more effectively, but it's all cool, I appreciate your concern and am sorting it out as we speak!

Also DDR Addict, thank you for your kind words! Your Pulsar and Quasar packs have been very entertaining not to mention your Billboard pack which gets plays whenever I have casual players over! In fact one of my friends used your cut of Ain't It Fun as part of their wedding ceremony ahaha. I'm very happy to have a few of your edits within this pack!

I definitely took it aggressively even if you may or may not have meant it that way. But whatever as long as we have come to some resolution people are ok with.

So, Patreon will be down this Sunday, Ko-Fi link seems to be working and is just below! I think I've worded everything LEGALLY correct haha!

Got a BIG commission of 10 songs that I'm currently working on and then some other commissions dotted around, but thankfully everyone seems cool for me to post these songs to the public!

Just gotta ask though, my Sperimix Galaxy pack has been very consistent in terms of quality, but the majority of these commissioned tracks are songs that do not have music videos. Every song so far has had a music video attached but it'd be a nightmare creating custom videos for all of these songs. Are people cool if I start releasing files without videos or is that a bit of a cop-out due to what you've come to expect? I'd appreciate the input!

I think a nice clean back ground is good enough. The video backgrounds do add to it, but aren't necessary.

I always use dancing characters from the arcades when I play so I never pay attention to your videos haha! Save yourself the work Ben you do enough already!

I absolutely love the videos, but if a song just doesn't have an existing video that goes well with it or that you want to use, it doesn't hurt to skip it now and again.

Jumping on the bandwagon here. The videos are a nice touch, but shouldnt deter you from stepping a particular song that doesnt have an existing video. Also, you shouldnt feel compeled to create video for any one song.

Ah okay! Thanks for the input. I was worried that a lack of a video would be a noticeable step down in quality even if it wasn't my fault there was no video for the song available aha but that's cool, opens up a lot of doors! Might even be able to get a pack out this evening!

BUMP because NEW PACKS AVAILABLE!




6 new tracks that were commissioned are now available to play! The first 3 come from a set of 10 by a user who had a pretty varied selection of music he'd like to see charted. Some great electronic tunes here, but look out for some tracks from artists such as Hans Solo, Marshmello, Bro Safari and more, including some trap music which is a genre I have never charted before!

And who is The Beat Conductor?! Who knows. But they make pretty damn good EDM! Pick up this 3 pack of songs by this mysterious artist and experience some classic female fronted electronic music, and look out for 7 more by this artist coming in the upcoming weeks!

Download Now!

Ko-Fi link for anybody interested!

Enjoy and stay tuned for further updates! Special thanks to the users that commissioned these songs for allowing me to share them with the public!

Good stuff! Cheers!

Is there anywhere we can listen to this EDM band The Beat Conductor? I’ve looked on YouTube, Apple Music, Soundcloud. No results

Six new files are ready to play! Continuing the EDM/trap commissions from Pack 01 we have a remix of a Florence & The Machine song, an aggressive and expletive-filled song in 'In The Pit' and some trap from Aaazar. On the flipside we have a three pack of rap songs from Kanye West, DJ Shadow and a classic in Will Smith's 'Wild Wild West'!

Thanks again for the commissions guys and for allowing me to post these to the public and I hope everybody enjoys these!!
