@@CameronSpencer This would be awesome if these became available:):)

[@hostnik777]

I cannot like this enough... not just for the fact that you did it and showed how much can be accomplished with super old tech, but the song, arrangement and mix itself is really great!

[@koolkeyZ865]

My favorite track of yours. This is so impressive, I can't believe how you were able to push this little thing to run something this intricate. Kind of shows how bloated OS X was in comparison to the earlier versions. I started on an iMac G4 with Garageband, and the thing would usually completely run out of memory and CPU then crash with even just a few plugins running. Keep up the magic

[@Arc.hitectureMusic]

Sampling the built in synths was the best way I found to overcome the processor limitations I was facing with the 266Mhz G3. The minimum requirements for EXS24 was a Power PC 604 200mhz. I chose this as a challenge because these machines were on the very edge of the DAW revolution. I wanted to see just what was possible without it using TDM or other acceleration methods

[@georgew.morrowiii118]

Smooth track and excellent utilization of vintage hardware and software.

[@williamshaneblyth]

You use to be able to run stuff on way slower tech decades ago. It sounds awesome

[@christiantorma2440]

na so muss es laufen 😎🤘

[@shortattentionspa.....]

You absolutely nailed this! Loving my wee G3 at the moment likes nice to see what a pro can do with it!

[@this.is.shashwat]

Waiting for IBM Simon or Apple II jungle next 👍

vanilla sky jungle baby

[@nemanjasmiljanic8391]

OS9 rulez, Amiga rulez, Jungle rulez!

[@noiseloader]

Nice track! setting limitations is fun

[@Bittamin]

Oh helllll yeah

[@tomtiedom]

Sweet song

[@artem34901]

Cool and inspiring!

[@SpectraParadox]

Man, I love when old tech is used for making music, great job! Where did ya get the software and those EXS24s? I wanna screw around and probs make a small track just for fun with the recent G4 PCI tower I got.

[@Arc.hitectureMusic]

Macintosh Garden is a good resource for Logic 4.7

[@Gosha1992]

Excellent

[@ghal3on]

dope as always!!!!

[@Arc.hitectureMusic]

Thanks Ghal3on 😎

[@x0d-live]

❤ Smooth

[@reptilespantoso]

aaah this takes me back.

[@arcologies]

Hell yah man this is dope, sounds better than a lot of jungle made with computers with 1000x the processing power lol 😂❤ makes me want to revisit and finalize some of my logic 8 tracks from college!

[@Arc.hitectureMusic]

Good thing about Logic 8 is those songs open with ease on Logic Pro X. If you have any prehistoric Logic 4-7 tracks that need converted, I’d be happy to help.

[@CH10010]

GREAT :]]

Cool

Nice I had the same computer hehe

fantastisch 😚😎🤘😎🤘😎🤘

[@nikesan2472]

nice, I got a g3 tower i need to stat up again after 12 years. :}

[@reptilespantoso]

G4 here, doesn't power on, but should.

[@Arc.hitectureMusic]

@@reptilespantoso what G4 do you have?

[@Vlamat67]

Non capisco una cosa; i dati vengono elaborati e suonati dal Mac oppure dati ad una apparecchiatura DSP esterna?

[@Arc.hitectureMusic]

It is 100% internal Mac resources. No external gear was used for this production. 100% Internal sound card, CPU, RAM, etc.

[@Vlamat67]

@@Arc.hitectureMusic L'architettura di un Mac non è mai stata molto differente da un classico Pc a livello di funzionamento. Cpu, ram scheda video/audio..... Vero è che il PowerPc fa la sua grande parte, coadiuvata da un sistema aperativo stabile, benché OS8/9 non si possono certo dire dei sistemi multitasking. L'uso delle risorse e l'utilizzo adeguato del chip audio, solitamente un DSP permette di fare lavori professionali senza perdere "frame"..... Grazie per la tua risposta ! ;)

I've thought about purchasing a Powerbook G3. I see that they made a floppy disk expansion drive. Ideally I'd like to use it for SCSI use with my samplers, but also be able to write to floppy in the correct formats of my samplers. Just not sure how many os9 programs out there would allow me to save sounds in those formats etc, I've seen it on older Mac software though

[@Arc.hitectureMusic]

Don’t bother with the floppy method. SCSI is king with Macs on samplers. Best thing to do is use scsi on the Mac, use the floppy drive on your samplers afterward if your wanting to do that. What samplers are you looking to use with it? Mac supported most samplers via scsi

[@Ancaja123]

@@Arc.hitectureMusic I have an MPC60 with SCSI board, and I could upgrade my EPS, Emax I, and S1000/S5000 with SCSI but im sure it wouldn't be cheap doing all of them. I have a Gotek drive on my MPC60 that I've never been able to get to work, and only use SCSI on that, file and midi transfer with a Mac would be pretty amazing though.

[@Arc.hitectureMusic]

@@Ancaja123 the good thing about the 60, is that the first SCSI partition is FAT format, meaning it’s accessible via Mac or Linux (PC doesn’t play well with it). So you can move files to and from it this way fairly easily.

[@Arc.hitectureMusic]

@@Ancaja123 s1000 will be the easiest to use via scsi. Emax will probably need System 7 capable Mac for Passport Alchemy 3. Alchemy 3 for The EPS via MIDI

[@Ancaja123]

@@Arc.hitectureMusic ah ok. So Alchemy 3 in conjunction with the EPS would have to be done with MIDI sample dump? Edit: didn’t see your above comment about the 60. Thanks a ton dude!

[@0e0]

i did my first record on a 486 dx2 with ilke 8 megabits of ram ha

[@Arc.hitectureMusic]

Makes for a good MIDI sequencer or tracker based workflow. If you had a SB AWE or Gravis Ultrasound that would almost be enough to make a tune.

[@Arc.hitectureMusic]

I have 28Mb ram for my SB AWE64 Gold. Could just make a track with that.

[@drdma1]

What kind of audio interface is used?

[@Arc.hitectureMusic]

Built in sound

[@NicollGallery]

What is the timing like on this compared to the ST?

[@Arc.hitectureMusic]

Compare these videos of the same song: Mac via Serial kzbin.info/www/bejne/b320ZmSsg7qLqpI Atari vs Mister FPGA kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoGWd6eEpaqZeKs

[@mattsephton]

@@Arc.hitectureMusic thanks. They all sound tight to me. maybe my ears are too old. I guess you pick the one that gives you the feels. Which is your preference?

[@Arc.hitectureMusic]

@@mattsephton The ST can be rather slow if your using a 68000 8mhz CPU. 16mhz is a much smoother experience, that I’ve only obtained on FPGA so far. I do like using old Macs with Serial though.
