A quick demonstration of Protracker for the Amiga. Here I'm demoing tracks from the "A for Amiga" EP, showing how they are written and comparing raw Amiga playback to a fully mixed and mastered version of the same material.

You got me missing my Amigas now. I used to use one of those software packages, I don't recall which, but they were fun and easy to use. The Amiga has amazing sound, outclassing other computers in it's day.

WOW! Thanks for showing the side-by-side comparison @ 8:10! This is how I personally would like my stuff to sound like; I'm astounded how big of a sound you were able to achieve with just four tracks, at that.

@CaudaMiller4 жыл бұрын
no you cant , efect is applied to a specific sample on a specific channel on a specific spot. you got only one effect which includes volume per "row" per channel. if you want ie change volume and you have note delay ... youre fucked. in this case if you apply effect on channel 4, youre changing volume on 14th sample D#3 on 4th tick and not where you want it. you can boost volume by doubling, which i cant recomend since youre using 2 channels and EVERY channel is precious. youd change volume and app fx on any channel looooooooooool right XD was that a joke?

i still have an A500, DSS8+ (8bit stereo parrallel port digitiser), cd32 with SX-1expansion, whole heap of disks with samples and MODs - used to be fun messing round in Protracker (still have the coverdisk it came on somewhere) - there was OctalMed as well (8 track seq.). My brother and his mates made a remix of the Mission Impossible theme back like 30 years ago, on two, synched (press go at same time kinda thing) C64's, for a total 8 ind tracks - sounded awesome but has dissappered foreva, sadly. ___ AMIGA FOR EVER ___

Thank you for this gem. I have an Amiga 2000 + PAR card ,I used it as a video montage and 3D (Imagine+Lightwave) gear. but I made some tracks with Protraker in my spare time . Unfortunately the floppy disks is damaged thru times and not readable. I'm happy that I found Sunvox tracker for PC MAC IPhone..... Also Renoise is another tracker for PC and Mac but not on Phones and Tablets. Viva 1, 4, 8 bit.

Those were the days. 4 channels. Required a lot more skill to write music with such restricted technology. Nowadays a standard free tracker program gives you 32 channels. Twas the Amiga that first got me into writing music. Never tried protracker, I only had soundtracker.
@carstenberggreen75099 жыл бұрын

+Scarzix of Offence But we can only wonder how would the older games sound if the creators had more channels, CPU cycles and memory on their disposal.
@carstenberggreen75098 жыл бұрын
+Slay Sure, but I think the platforms that succeeded back then, were those that were able to hit the right balance between CPU/RAM usage. Eg. C64 with 3 SID channels forced us to think when we squeeze a tune into it. If we had had 8 channels, we had spend much more CPU and RAM on the player and data, leaving less to the games and demos. If we had had 16 channels of sample for Amiga, 512 KB would have been waaay too little for anything too. So my guess is that the platforms that became "the greatest" of their time, were those being able to find the best balance between cost/specs.

Could I get a copy of the Protracker file for DX-Heaven? I want to try playing it on the tracker file player for the Arduino. I'l just go find the full version to listen to on KZbin normally or buy it, but I wanted to see how it would sound. The program is on my GitHub page, but it's not originally my code, I only fixed a bug that made it not compile: github.com/TheNH813/arduino-music-player
