After 8 years I finished this excellent tutorial series. And now I finally understand how trackers work after 30 years since I was trying to track on the A500 😅 thank you very much!

To transfer files on an actual Amiga 500, I use either ADF Opus (PC) or ADF Master (Mac), which then I create a new (blank) .adf file, and there I load on it my own .iff or .8svx sample files. Then, after loading up a bootable Protracker .adf on the Amiga first, I can switch over to the .adf sample disk I made by clicking on the module button and loading it by "floppy." However, I strongly recommend installing a Gotek mod on the Amiga, as USB is more convincing.

That workflow is to protracker directly but using a compatible tracker like milkytracker the process might be a bit different

Hello, is the same thing if I work with OpenMPT? How can I know what frequency should I use? Couldn't I simply convert a note in C3 / C5, and just keep it at 8287 Hz? I'm just new to this, that's why I don't understand many things. The only bad thing is that I don't have an Amiga, but I would like to make MOD music anyway. On the other hand, I found the ST 01 from the video description, and it looks awesome for my first modules. I guess by using these samples, I shouldn't worry about sampling frequency, rigbht? Cheers!

One of the most important things when working with samples, IMHO, is to change the pitch without modifying the speed (sample rate). I know Protracker cannot do this, but was there any other Amiga tracker with that feature? As a workaround, Audacity and other audio editors can do this, so, ideally you could generate a different sample for each note in your instrument. Would this workflow be recommended, or would it be a nightmare to compose songs with the pattern editor using per-note samples?
@waspamiga2 жыл бұрын
Pitch shifting without changing speed requires processing of the sample data (time stretching). This is not featured in Protracker. It would use CPU resources to do on the fly. I wouldn't recommend using a lot of samples for the same sound, but inverting chords can be quite useful. If the melody spans over several octaves, perhaps two different samples of the same sound could be a decent workflow. Using three would result in weird notation, but I guess that's also a way.

when you convert samples from audacity to iff, how come there's usually background hiss in the sample when loaded in protracker? is there a way to get rid of it completely? this is even after normalizing and sometimes even some compression. You can get away with it on some things, but things like bass and low synth bass etc, it's sometimes a problem.

well you could try an ADPCM format if you don't want as much noise at quiet parts of the audio, but I'm not sure if NoiseTracker or ProTracker support ADPCM audio formats.
@thamessinclair201010 ай бұрын
@@haji2nd444 An approach for the "not as much noise in the quiet parts" desire (reverb tails and such) is to preprocess the sample with a limiter to whack up the quiet parts. Audacity also offers a limiter effect. Then use the A or EB command to apply a release envelope to the sample in Protracker. This can also be done using AmigaPAL, a dedicated sample conversion tool.

I really wish protracker on Amiga had a way of doing 0.5 steps on the fine tune. but I guess it's technically impossible to add this feature.

How to get the color sheme of pt2-clone darker like that? Thank you. edit. I think I found the answer. You need to edit the pt2_palette.c file before compiling. edit2. Ok, I found the real answer which is the pt_pal_editor that is included in the source files. It's a bit buggy though.
