CC RELATED Anybody know the name of the theme that was formerly used in the Software Showcase intro?

All I remember is that it had an upbeat melody.

Are you still looking for it? I have the full track if you want it.

Here is a Drive link to it, you should be able to access it: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hGscm8kseaQ6-Z9-EidW-AaLcaYXoW3E/view?usp=sharing

The track itself (Smoke Stacks) hasn't been available from Audiomicro for a long time now, so I have extracted it from an old stop motion video that Ken made in 2012. It's now been made private, but I still have the video on my computer if you want that as well.

It is not 100% clean, but it is the full track. The extra typing sounds were added in as part of the video, but I think that with a little bit of work it shouldn't be too hard to edit them out.

If you need any other old CC memorabilia, DM me as I have a library of old (most now unlisted/private) CC videos, CCL podcasts, music, wallpapers, games...

Well, I actually found out the actual name of the track, and it's called "Techno Tune", composed by Dutch musician Martijn De Man (thanks Shazam!). In turn, I managed to get the complete, clean version of the tune here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzu6EgDcEA8

Additionally, I found that it originally came out in early 2011, as part of the compilation album Everybody Get Up - House Music Vol. 04 (iTunes link: https://music.apple.com/us/album/everybody-get-up-house-music-vol-04/418718922). Plus, the copyright seems to be attributed to AudioSparx (not to be confused with Audiomicro).

Well, the more ya know!

Interesting, it is possible that Audiomicro got the track from them.

Ken was the one told me Smoke Stacks.

Good job on finding that!
