Music 2000 is how I got into music production, at least as a long-term hobby. Me and a mate at the time spent days painstakingly sampling individual drum hits, breakbeats, reeses and hoovers in an attempt to make the best Drum & Bass and Hardcore the world had ever seen, only for the samples to be completely corrupted on reload the next day. I loved every second of it.

My very first DAW was MUSIC on the Official PS Magazine demo disc. From there I "evolved" to Music 3000 on PS2, which allowed me to actually make money from music by doing commission work for local theater group and dancers. Then I graduated to FL Studio and I've been on that since 2006. Humble beginnings, and hearing those samples and cheesy guitar loops again brings a wave of nostalgia. EDIT: Also, I just have to mention: Making music while holding a gamepad just feels so right. It was great on PS1 and PS2, and it's awesome on Nerdseq, and I wish there was a way to use a gaming controller in FL Studio.

[@AudioPilz]

😀😀😀

[@inthefade]

If you like using a gamepad, I just started playing with Korg Gadget on the Switch. I got it for my commute to my studio, but it actually has great vintage synth engines! I love the Oberheim emulation. The drums are okay, but there isn't enough processing to really get deep with them. They're passable but not great. Still good fun though. The only problem is that you can't render audio to the SD card because of Nintendo, but I've heard you can transfer your projects to iOS Korg Gadget via QR code if you want. For me the headphone output is passable if I just want a loop or two and the noise floor isn't going to be a problem (it isn't as god-awful as I expected tbh). Oh, and Nintendo also doesn't allow USB MIDI controllers either, but you can use a QWERTY keyboard lol. But yes sequencing in a piano roll with a game controller is awesome. It is really good fun if you already have a Switch.

[@pheargoth]

I never had a PS1 because my folks were "anti games console" and always insisted that I had a computer instead. Noisetracker and OctaMed on the Commodore A1000 is where I started. By the time Music 2000 came out, I was already proficient in several trackers on the PC I used to think that Music 2000 was a bit of a toy, until one of my friends demonstrated it to me. IT ACTUALLY HAD EFFECTS and it sounded half decent! That reverb!!! Trackers didn't even have a reverb, and you'd have to simulate most other effects using tricks that usually involved taking up more than one channel. If you wanted reverb on a sample though, you'd have to load it in to a separate audio editor like Sound Forge, and add a reverb manually. To be honest, I don't miss making music using trackers. I am too spoilt by the multitude of VST's and features available in today's DAWS.

[@saricubra2867]

"i don't miss making music using trackers" Yes, but there's no proper VST of the OPL3 (Yamaha YMF262 FM soundchip). It has quite a unique sound.

@@pheargoth Imagine blaming the YM2612 for the bad music of Genesis/Megadrive Doom instead of the composers themselves. The OPL3 has far more channels than the YM2612 and you can produce similar sounds and other ones.

[@pheargoth]

​@@SproutyPottedPlant I hated the overall sound of the YMF262 / OPL 3 and couldn't wait to get a wavetable based soundcard. No amount of patch making could redeem what a horrible sound it made. It was great for crappy bell sounds, though. It was cheap, and that was the main reason it was used in low end sound cards. Like I said, I worked with samples on the Amiga originally, and the YMF/OPL series just sounded completely inferior in every way. There is no VST emulation of the Yamaha FM chips, because you can emulate them using any FM synth VST easily. Each to their own.

When I was a freshman in high school this game came out, the small city I lived in here in New Hampshire USA didn't have a lot of rappers, but had a lot of talented guys we all just didn't have access to be recorded and not many of us had any sort of studio setup or anything yet. Well I remember these two sophomores, one from New York City, who they made an album together with entirely just the beata they made on this music generator. I was amazed as to how they were able to get the music off of the PlayStation 1 into some sort of MPC or something or just to get it into the computer to be recorded and have it actually sound good. They were the first guys to really sling CDs around school for five bucks a pop and almost all of us bought them just because we were friends with the guys but they were actually pretty decent for what it was at that time. I'll always think of those guys when I see that game. Big ups to Chanelynx haha

[@apoclypse]

I loved MTV Music Generator. It was so ahead of its time it's kind of crazy. Who would even think to put that level of functionality into a "game" on a Playstation but gosh darn it they did it and did it well. I remember thinking it was going to be like Mario Paint's music maker, but it was so much more than that. We lost something nowadays, we just don't get this level of outside the box thinking anymore at least no in the game space.

I'll tell you the program that got me into music. It was called Making Waves. All you did was load in a sample. Then you manually clicked the little tiny arrows till it was at 1.0 or 2.0 or 4.0 and load loops into it. Then all you did was drag your mouse across the screen and it would just draw in loops up to about 32 channels on the screen. Nothing more than pan and volume per channel. Just draw big dots across the screen. A dash is a longer sample filling an area which you can interupt. You can't shorten a sample. You can make composition in real-time. What a blast. To cheap to pay for a license sadly. Remixed Doggy Style and taped it rather than buy a copy.

They wrote my name in the next magazine along with "D.i.s.c.ooooooh." My sister helped me with the song, and I didn't send her name in with the tape. Just want to take a moment to apologise to, and thank my sister. 😅

I hope she sees this!!! 👍👍👍

[@AudioPilz]

Wow, great story. You definitely owe her one!

[@RacingStripeAV]

How did I miss this video? Great to see one of my childhood favourites be given a modern look - this game was practically my gateway into making music as a whole! I think I still have my old memory cards with the tracks I made back in 2003 somewhere...

[@AudioPilz]

❤️❤️❤️

[@Domingo95x]

I still have all my tracks and music videos on an old PSx memory card. Im dying to hear them again. Should have just told Blockbuster i lost the disc like i did with Syphon Filter 2

[@AudioPilz]

Lol, did this blockbuster scam actually work?

[@Freakoutski]

Same here, I sold the PS1, but kept the card. I don't have much hope it would still work after all these years.

[@Aeduo]

You can probably pick up a dexdrive off ebay or somewhere and transfer it to your PC and run the game in an emulator or something.

[@Freakoutski]

@Frikoppie Impressive! My memories of those memory cards though, are mostly of them going corrupt if you looked at them funny :/

[@Freakoutski]

@@Aeduo Thanks, I didn't think something like that existed.

[@braunihawk]

Thanks for this one, this gives me goosebumps. Ive made my first ever Track with this software and now starting to run trough some boxes to find the tape i recordet this :-)

[@AudioPilz]

❤️❤️❤️

[@rorz999]

You should do Rave eJay next 😉

[@cearal2456]

Ditto!

[@AudioPilz]

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll have a closer look!!!

[@patrickhayden7206]

Was that eJay Clubworld?

[@rorz999]

​@@patrickhayden7206 there was a whole universe of eJay software. I had Dance eJay, Rave eJay, and Hip-Hop eJay. But there were sequels and others like Techno eJay

[@patrickhayden7206]

@@rorz999 Wasn't aware of the rest,only had eJay Clubworld on PS2. Will have to look into the others.

[@Joe-Bazuka]

I had this when I was a kid, I remember trying to remake Shook Ones, I didn't know you could use your own samples though.

[@tuftyindigo]

I guess "Gear so obscure it doesn't even have angry comments in fora" doesn't fit the YT title restrictions. 😃

[@AudioPilz]

You're onto sth here;)

[@DNGMaestro]

The first Music (and Music 2000 after) was actually how i started to compose my own music. Now my life is composing music, mostly for videogames!

[@AudioPilz]

Nice!!!

[@asdfjkl227]

Ah yes, someone who is getting withdrawal from Roland not releasing a menu diving synth deeper than the Mariana trench finds something else to menu dive in.

[@AudioPilz]

Word!!!

[@djgeminithirdeye1859]

Made a rap album with this. Great software back when it was new.

[@rcdf9]

now u have to review korg synth for 3DS

[@AudioPilz]

Already did the DS-10

[@MikeMatzke]

had it, used it, loved it. Great vid!

[@PyramidBeats28]

Old garage heads will love this 🔥

[@AudioPilz]

Agreed!!!

[@inthefade]

Doesn't some early Dizzy Rascal stuff use this?

[@PyramidBeats28]

@@inthefade Yes im pretty sure , Benga and Kode 9 too

[@ricochetpig]

Wiley also I think

[@bontempo1271]

You are a legend for this ! You have no idea how many budding producers back then were desperate to get their hands on music making equipment. This was an introduction for many. Infact, some of the prototype tracks of the UK Grime genre were made on this very game !!

[@marcinhalota]

My first ever DAW, still love it, nostalgia very ❤ thx for this kind of episode. 5!

[@AudioPilz]

❤❤❤

[@Roguetrainer]

I had it. I loved it!

[@AudioPilz]

😀😀😀

[@poopoppy]

Me Too!! I had no idea it could record samplings though.

[@charliedango2664]

My friend and I had a whole songwriting project using that game as a sequencer back in the early 2000's. Had a blast!

[@jetlag_beats]

You have a crazy work ethic. I'm jealous at it. 🙂

[@bolttracks]

MTV Music Generator 2 was legitimately my first DAW. It’s wild how powerful these were all things considered. We certainly haven’t gotten anything to rival them on consoles since.

[@lennypen1978]

I absolutely hammered this when i got it, its what created my love for music making

[@funfactswithmaxx]

Made a Bone Thugs remix on it. Had to wait until I could afford a bigger memory card 😂😂😂

[@garrettmentel9663]

Hell yeah. MTV music Generator is what got me on to making beats. I remember sampling Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas dialog and making some dope trippy beats back in the day.lol. Nice video.

[@AudioPilz]

We were just around Barstow…

[@aestheticPhantasm]

!!! YES! This was my teen years :) I still have some tracks I recorded out to a cassette tape. Amazing memories of MTV MG 2000.
