Dub Techno with Atari ST, Virus TI, Octatrack, Analog Four & TR-8

10 years ago I released the Dub Techno track "Emilienstraße" as one of my first uploads to this channel. I collected all original files and did a remaster of the audio and video.
The track was completely sequenced on the Atari ST computer using the latest version of Emagic Creator. All sounds were from the Virus TI, Elektron Octatrack & Analog Four, and the Roland TR-8. Mixing was done on the Allen & Heath mixer with internal effects and a cheap delay pedal from Line6.

good old atari, sync so tight, and the music is so good.

[@nils992]

Atari ST ❤ I had Cubase 3 on a 1040 ST expanded to 4MB with a 100MB HDD, it was rock solid! Man, these memories, thanks Martin!

[@nolake]

It all started with an Atari St for me too. So good memories. Chris Hülsbeck, Jeroen Tel, Jochen Hippel, David Whittaker, Barry Leitch, etc. Great music, sweet sharing.

[@jkonrad]

Memories indeed! I used Steinberg’s Pro-16 on the C64. Ditto re: Hulsbeck and JT, they were beasts and showed the rest of us the way.

[@nolake]

@@jkonrad indeed. I was too small to make music on my C64 but I still listen to SID music today. It’s an inexhaustible source of inspiration.

[@jkonrad]

@@nolake Yeah I still go back and listen to JCH and the Vibrants crew sometimes, among others.

[@nolake]

@@jkonrad me too. I miss the era sometimes. The Lost Boys, TCB,… That was something!

[@ZozillaThaGreat]

I started with Pro 24 and a ST and S950 ....you brougth me back to good old dayz when a session was 4 mb !!

[@myceliumtechno]

yeah, that brings back memories. Dub techno sequenced by Atari ST. Great performance!

[@larsvommars4261]

Absolutely timeless.

[@CmdrHakar]

Nostalgie pur 👌 1993 hatte ich Octamed auf dem amiga 500 und den techno turbo Sound 2 Sampler für Amiga, um von Kassetten zu samplen. achja 😊

[@DasDoktorchen]

Sehr schön retro 😃

[@Miiwiii]

Very nice setup. One word : Accuracy. I hope to hear more songs of this configuration cheers

[@jakefisher8788]

I love that old school stuff Martin 😇😁

[@RnEna462]

fantastic, awesome, thanks!

[@mrtinacrispoti]

Beautiful!

[@arjednb]

Oh this is pretty sick.

[@GahlordDewald]

Bass tone is gorgeous

[@kayacura.music1]

Great track! I'm more than happy to see TR-8 in your setup. I've bought an used one recently and it's a great drum machine for those classic sounds. The fader per sound is so useful for playing live.

[@MwahMwahProductions]

Splendid stuff Martin!

[@Bigger-Circuitry-Bigger-SOUND]

super 👌🏻

[@Georg89]

That's amazing, thank you!

[@BerndScheurer]

how cool! i also started with various atairs in the 80s, but with cubase. i had converted an atari mega st into a 19" case for traveling.

[@derrickaf1]

Yes...Groove at work:)! Nice jam....

[@InFamousProductions]

this sounds HUGE. what was it recorded to? a tape machine?

[@Neti499]

Atari ST, nostalgie... Mais quelle galère !

[@meinvergnugen7650]

Wie cool, der gute alte Notator :) 1993 habe ich als 15 Jähriger in einem kleinen Studio gejobbt im dem die Resident DJs vom Aladdins in Aschaffenburg ( damals ein angesagter Techno Tempel ! ) Tracks produziert haben. Ich konnte mir damals aussuchen: entweder 5 Mark pro Stunde oder 1 Stunde Arbeit 1 Stunde Studiozeit In dem Raum stand alles was man sich als Teenager NICHT leisten konnte. Korg Wavestation, Akai S1000 Sampler, Atari ST mit dem Notator usw. Was denkst Du was ich gewählt habe :) Danke für den Flashback Martin !

[@MartinStuertzer]

Sehr cool! Ich hatte das Glück, dass zu Hause beruflich mit Atari & co gearbeitet wurde, allerdings fehlten die coolen Synthesizer. Dadurch habe ich aber wirklich alles über Midi gelernt, was geht.

[@maztik8r]

Great to hear how your sound has evolved over the past 10 years

[@MartinStuertzer]

I hope, that doesn't mean, that this old track is crap! 😂

[@maztik8r]

@@MartinStuertzer Oh no! It's still good, but it just sounds like a different person made it

[@stu3140]

Love it!

[@neverheardofhim_so_far]

Martin Stürtzer ist wohl einer der begnadetsten Dub Techno und Ambient Künstler dieser Zeit! Ob das an dem tristen Wuppertal liegt? 😅

[@thudtheace]

awesome! I still have my ST's as well (ST, Mega, and STe)

[@MartinStuertzer]

Do they still work? I had to sell my ST and Mega ST, because they started to have minor quirks.

[@corticallarvae]

I preferred amiga trackers , the thing it’s kind of like everything else it’s what put in it

[@vikramjitbanerjeetuki]

Now that's really something, you really got my attention 😅

[@patricio1512]

Tremendo 🎉 espectacular 👌 bro

[@Muzzlepaint]

This is very nice

[@adriano701]

💯

[@Stephan_Hess]

Das T-Shirt !!! 👍

[@wavesequencer]

Nice. I started music recording with C-lab Notator / Atart STE (well, before that some 4 track tape recorders) + Wavestation - still have both. Always liked the pattern arrangement view in Notator - somehow more intuitive than the clip/loop arranger in Ableton (my current favorite) for me. I'd have another go with the Atari if I could find an adapter for LCD panels/hi-res B&W Atari display output.

[@BassoaProducer]

Great 🙌🙌🙌

[@sandytrunks]

What a cool track! And, by his obvious absence, one must assume this must've been recorded before Neptun moved in with you? 😸

[@MartinStuertzer]

True! At the time a little fellow called Pollux lived here, but he was out hunting most of the time.

[@bobbyxhilone9953]

I’m glad Sandy mentioned Neptun’s absence, because I too figured he had not arrived in your life just yet, Martin. Great music, by the way, but we love the present-day bonus of Neptun!! 😺💞🎶

[@MarcRenton]

Dein Stab-Sound klingt mega massiv in Kombination mit dem Moog-Bass. War das ein Preset auf dem Virus TI? Könntest du kurz beschreiben, wie der Sound aufgebaut ist? Mich interessiert, ob ich den so auf meinem Virus B hinbekommen würde

[@MartinStuertzer]

Suche mal auf meinem Kanal nach "Virus Ti", ich habe einige Videos zum Sound Design solcher Chords mit dem Virus gemacht. Mit dem Virus B müsstest du bis auf die Effekte zu einem ähnlichen Ergebnis kommen!

[@MarcRenton]

@@MartinStuertzer Das hätte ich auch schon früher machen können, da gebe ich dir Recht :-) Was ich von dir gelernt habe: Ich kam nie auf die Idee einen Pulse OSC -1 Oktaven zu spielen und parallel das Bandpassfilter zu nutzen. Beim Virus B kann ich kein Delay + Hall-Reverb nutzen, ein Quadraverb tuts aber auch :-) Wirklich sehr cooler Kanal, den du hier hast und ich mag dein Konzept mit den Live-Konzerten, Live--Sessions und Tutorials. Weiter so 😎

[@TimBoulette]

An Atari ST???!!!

[@MartinStuertzer]

Yes!

[@jlmartin63]

This makes me want to take my old Atari STE out of the box and dust off the monitor...

[@jlmartin63]

But my first musical PC was a Yamaha MSX with some kind of FM synth built-in

[@ALBEGX]

🖐💪

[@paullee3660]

Atari ST?! Why that’s virtually dawless.

[@leNotstrom]

Which Atari is that? A Mega ST?

[@MartinStuertzer]

That was a Atari 1040 STE, but I also had a Mega ST.

[@StarMaze]

That was my second computer Atari 1040 ST with Cubase

[@MartinStuertzer]

Great! Do you still have it? I never used Cubase on Atari, how did it compare to Creator?

[@StarMaze]

@@MartinStuertzer unfortunately I sold it back then together with a Kurzweill 2000, an Oberheim Matrix 1000, Roland TR 505 and a TR 808. Still regret that decision 🙈 I had only tried cubase at that time.

[@AL573]

Great delay lines👌

[@TheCubeMusic]

Why the Atari st is that an early version on Cubase seems like this was a long time ago lol 😂

[@MartinStuertzer]

The software is called Creator, it is from Emagic, who later released Logic.

[@TheCubeMusic]

@@MartinStuertzer Ha ha okay ✅ yeah Apple brought logic on, do you use Apple computer currently much love hope your well
