Great Giana Sisters Intro C64 (Fasttracker 2 XM)

[@em00k]

Give me a break, FT2 is legendary! Plus when I did this, there were no decent SID play routines on PC like there are today. Having it in .XM format mad it easily distributable and playback was a piece of cake.

[@RaptureMusicOfficial]

Great work! Fastracker 2 rulez! Btw, I made the music for Giana Sisters DS and Giana Sisters Twisted Dreams. Thanks for checking it out! Cheers, Fabian

[@XXSkunkWorksXX]

ThankYOU, thanks - dAnKa .. my oh my I id, at LAST the proper music to the Giana Sisters. Not the title song but this intro - and by gum lad, you did it proud. Don't me wrong the Toccata and Fugue inspired title tune is superb but this upbeat number, excellently delivered by you Mr Norris is the greatest jolly Amiga related music ever written. Love it, capturing it and burning it and tomorrow it will be blasted out from within my Car - convertible roof down - for all to hear! ; 10/10 friend:):)

Oh my god! It's been a good while since I've even seen Fast Tracker II! This program taught me so much about music.

[@RayToler]

Nice work... brings back memories of the many hours I spent in this game on the Amiga.

[@G3DTrance]

This is awesome! One of the best OSTs of the C64 and FastTracker II... AMAZING!

[@Bajsnissse]

You're a genious, man. I love this

[@jenseriksson5152]

Fantastic! Love Giana sisters!

[@Dogma1Laboratories]

Excellent track, thanks for sharing!

Ehhh tengo una Commosore 64 en el garage.... nunca la usé OOOJOOOJOOOO - Bueno chau.

[@arseniy]

OMG FTII... I had so much songs written in *.XM and *.IT and all lost... Had no internet back then (((

[@blissetmizz]

awesome

[@Anophis]

great job

[@djalcesAKAHenrik_S]

FT2 ftw! love it!

[@em00k]

Glad you like it.

[@fjsibon8003]

fantastic years

[@Pitt-Rock]

Great Song.

[@em00k]

I did, it's the same song used on the Amiga, but this is the C64 version as you quite rightly point out :) Thanks :p

[@blackangel2412]

nope, its not the c64 version, the c64 version is this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJaQYWx4qMSViNE

[@PhoticSneeze]

@@blackangel2412 That would be the title screen. This IS the intro screen though, often left out of pirated copies possibly to save on storage size and load time.

[@blackangel2412]

@@PhoticSneeze this is the Intro from the Amiga 500 the C64 Version dont have this Intro, see my earlier Post

[@mygodiswithin]

good job

[@em00k]

Cheers man :)

[@Mr7100vejle]

like old times. it's was so fun to make music on FT2

[@em00k]

Cheers mate ;)

[@Taz247]

One Word EPIC.

[@em00k]

Thanks man.

[@G.SCHILIRO.OFFICIAL]

I have fasttracker 2 on windows 10, yes

[@em00k]

Thanks

[@Gra55h0pp3r]

Oh DAMN, FastTracker.... *memory* I must change to other Tracker Programs because my new PC at this Time got another IRQ Channel on Audio and FastTracker was Mute :(

[@em00k]

I used Fasttracker II which was DOS based. A more up to date trackjer has been released which is very similar, Milky Tracker.

[@BladeUYA]

@Ahle2 It is an Amiga Module.

[@Nikku4211]

I imagine some songs in tracker format, too.

[@NeilCaulfield]

Ive used MadTracker and ModPlug Tracker and those are also good choices for modern windows operating systems

[@SuperAwesomeMovies]

I used to boot up some of these games solely to listen to the cracktros.

[@em00k]

@shairaptor I used the extra 4 for a re-verb effect. There is a 4 channel version.

[@em00k]

@DJPaggos it wasn't from a midi. I sampled the various sounds i needed to emulate the sid synth sounds. I then stripped the original into single channels then recreated what I heard in FT2.

[@em00k]

@pastorrtom I used an extra 4 channels to ad reverb.

[@michaelinoman]

No use Renoise, the 2012 Fasttracker. It works awesome and read the old XM files perfectly! It even supports VST plugins!

[@em00k]

@Tubofluxar Probably about 6 - 8 hours, I can't remember exactly, it was a long time ago.

[@lorebf]

@pastorrtom It only have three.. but through "cheating" it can do four :)

[@Blammo25]

Hey I absolutely love this cover. Do you have a MIDI you want to share? I would really love to make this in Minecraft, but copying this from the screen is a bit much.

[@em00k]

Hi, this was done by ear from the original C64 SID tune. The player I was using didn't show the source notes but let me solo each channel, I would then sample the section and I would listen then then write the notes in the tracker (this is why it has some very minor differences). You can download the original here : api.modarchive.org/downloads.php?moduleid=165075#gianasis.xm and play back in Fasttracker here : 16-bits.org/ft2.php

[@Blammo25]

@@em00k Wow dude thx soo much!!

[@carminone]

Really enjoyable, though there are some mistakes.

[@b_markovic]

Or better yet, the ultimate tracker: Renoise, which works on Linux too.

[@em00k]

Renoise doesn't make regular mod/xms very well.

[@codycbradio]

@ChuckBleedinNorris What software did you use?

[@codycbradio]

#ChuckBleedinNorris What software did you use?

[@em00k]

@Gra55h0pp3r Just use Milkytracker!

[@psycho0815]

Ahhh... just a bad habit I can't get rid of. No offense.I'm just a Commodore user for nearly 2 decades now. So it's my duty to write stuff like that from time to time. ;-) And FT2 was of course a good program. Some people say it was for the PC what Protracker was for the Amiga. But it can not reproduce the soul of the SID. :-P

[@Markboyy1984]

The music sounds more like the Ipad version -.-

[@retroHC]

Use DosBox.

[@retroHC]

NOTHING beats FT2! Search for Fast Tracking Compo Birdie 22.

[@tomyyoung2624]

Yes offense.I...

[@OnekiKai]

lol "Commode" 64.

[@psycho0815]

PC crap... SID F.T.W. !!! But a nice remake anyways.

[@hyoenmadan]

Heh... Sounds like a generic track for a 2006 japanese VN title. Nice stuff.

[@retroHC]

It's good... But not exact. :)
