How to Build a retro style music Studio For Old Skool Jungle

[@JR_Music]

In the spirit of this video series and buying retro gear it would be good to see you make a jungle track from start to finish using only retro gear as you would have back in the day.

Im BizzyB for those of you that dont know, oh yeah, i know brah, you were a legend on the amiga made music scene, if only youtube existed in the 90s... My 90s set up was an amiga 1200 and the atari 1040... i actully inherited the atari from nic nytro of the rhythmic state

[@chrisicotec7652]

excuse my alcohol induced gramttical balls up... were... not were,are, a legend to the amiga scene, sub base, the whole tracke scene

Alesis MMT-8 Multi Track Midi Recorder was also a popular sequencer back in the day, cheaper than an Amiga and Atari ST but still old-school.

Golden Content Bizzy. Kep this rollin' broth

A Happy New Year to all the crew and family!

Love the premise of this video so far. Cool seeing another's view on this very topic.

[@TheBizzyBScience]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ChrisSmout]

My dad had an Atari 1040e and Roland CM64 setup for his Notator studio back in the day. Most we ever used ours for was games ;)

I wish I had the patience to get further into old-school gear. I’m just gonna stick to my humble MPC 2000xl-Virus TI2-Akai S5000-PC w/Renoise & Recycle setup.

[@storehausholdingllc406]

Bro!! I just got a studiomaster from a studio that was clearing out. I'm building a rig with (2) S5000

[@TheBizzyBScience]

awesome!

[@skrach1000]

I've been racking my brain for months trying to figure out how to send your channels from your computer to mixer (audio interface with many outputs can't be the only way can it?) and then also once its gone through the mixer where does your mix go after for final destination.. some type of recorder? Any type of response would be extremely helpful! Thanks as always for the useful content :)

[@skrach1000]

@Johnny Too Bad Thank you for the helpful reply! I'll be going for the Tascam M24 multitrack mixer now

[@TheBizzyBScience]

@@skrach1000 it looks good for the price and has SD card recording, plus tascam is a good make, let us know how it goes

[@skrach1000]

TheBizzyBScience I defo will! I may even make a live video with the Tascam, Akai 3000xl + breaks :)

[@MrArthurKF]

This is such an awesome video!! I have more questions regarding this. Would it be possible to contact you to start an ongoing conversation about it?

[@justadev____7232]

Can't even get Amiga's anymore, I never see them listed on ebay anymore.

[@Gute_Laune_Boy]

how good is the midi latency from a Amiga 500, especially to sync other midi gear?

[@TheBizzyBScience]

spot on mate, better than a 2020 DAW for latency as its near enough if not zero latency

[@wordofmouthpress3724]

did you do the wiring up video u spoke of? I have to akais but I dunno how to wire them up

[@TheBizzyBScience]

Hi, Please sub! There is a bit wiring explained here kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5jXpJuchZtom9E

[@wordofmouthpress3724]

@@TheBizzyBScience thanks man any chance u can do a video on how to run a was through the akai and back in ?? do I have to convert the wav to hxc or whatever it is and do it that way using floppy or is there easier solutions no one has really done a video explaining this clearly for the new gen lol had my akais for years but everything I can is digital from old sample cds so literally just want to give them the crunch n run them back into my daw for sequencing

[@welshwoody217]

Wish I still had my commadore 64

[@LeMeAtOm]

alright BizzyB, im having some issues with sampleoidz and cant email you as the captures down work, keeps saying that its wrong when it isnt. Can I drop you an email direct?

[@TheBizzyBScience]

Yes plz

[@LeMeAtOm]

@@TheBizzyBScience all sorted B, legend! thanks

[@berniec781]

Great video, more of the same

[@dxtrs_mnpltr]

is an Amiga A500 with 1MB ram not enough? much difference with the A1200 for sequencing in Octamed?

[@dxtrs_mnpltr]

@@serial_sequence2k Cheers m8!

[@farben_]

I don't think those versions of Octamed have midi and you have only 4 tracks to program your patterns. They used to use to run two Amiga500 then they would play both at the same to overcome the limitations.

[@loopmarster5770]

Another option which I use is a laptop with windows xp a Atari emulator. Gives you the old school feel but on modern equipment. hook all up to the old school sampler, mixer and a view 90s synth. Most people have a laptop so would save on the price of the Atari or Amiga. But still have that old school hardware

[@dxtrs_mnpltr]

@@farben_ Octamed 4 does have midi, there are plenty of videos of people sequencing external gear with it and most of the time on 4 tracks which should be enough if you know what you're doing. I think the reason for running two computers side by side was to overcome the inherent panning limitations of the system, 2. tracks for each channel (someone please correct me if I´m wrong)

i dont think i would be able to get my head around octaMed
