This really needs a release! It's pure class!

[@jontetly]

I'm so annoyed this passed me by in my Amiga days. I had no idea the music i was buying and raving to could be made on an Amiga! I was 15 in 1995, and to think if just one person had shown me this software back then...

[@RaveyStabs]

Yeah I'm not sure that many did know about it. I got started when I was 14 by accidentally stumbling across MED on a neighbour's magazine cover disk, then really getting into it (and I was pretty off grid, not knowing anybody else into it!). There was a eureka moment of what I was listening to was achievable using this, which was cool!

[@andrewyoung2415]

@@RaveyStabs I got it free on an Amiga Format cover disc. Great times playing with it on my Amiga 600 :)

[@BarryEuphorik]

@@andrewyoung2415 Same, although i had been using Protracker up until I got OctaMED 2.0 from a magazine cover disk.

[@Core2lee91]

Yes!! It's amazing how well the Amiga can still sound.

[@Planetugm]

Sooooo sick!!! Seems like all the new software and the latest hardware, people just can’t produce happy hardcore from the 90s! Wish this style of hardcore was still going!

[@flapjackthekandikid]

I would pay money to press this record haha

[@umbrelladown2805]

I'm looking into making hardcore with trackers and find you here. Hahahaha

[@uuu3x]

this is complete hot fire

[@psympson]

Not so bad, and not so humourous. Sounds just like good old days of good Thunderdome (from I to XIII). NIIIIIIIIIIIIICEEEE! THANKS! :D

[@vivianmcalexander9999]

What a hoot! I love OctaMed!

[@chrisicotec7652]

this is pretty good.. sounds like a lot of the scottish hardcore of the mid 90s

[@thecurrylover1]

It's got that certain sound ;)

[@mika005z]

This belongs on a record😍

[@axladam1063]

This got Scott Brown written all over it

[@RaveyStabs]

Yep totally follows his formula, which 4 tracks worked well for!

[@jontetly]

this could have easily been a release on Twisted Vinyl or Evolution BITD. It has that authentic bouncy vibe.

[@Casketkrusher_]

Crazy track, love the happy stabs!

[@Myexpectationsarerealistic]

Yep, definitely the 90’s.

[@richardjohansson2648]

Ooohh.. this triggers a lot of memories from my childhood. Good old happy hardcore. ^^, Hmm.. Now, where did i put my tracksuit??

[@VTOLKits]

Wow, its so great...!!

[@TheRaveMusicArchive]

This is a wicked track.

[@chrisshaw9836]

Sounds like club kinetic. Mint

[@MrAlo145]

sounds wicked :-D

[@lefish.inc-]

you are a rave god!!!!!!

[@AngryBulldogg]

Mad looking at the font and layout on an amiga. Reminds me of cannon fodder or sensible soccer lol

[@matthewlucic4050]

Love it! Please make a demo version in adf would love to run it on my A500!

[@KrisRaistlin]

GABBER!

[@greenttoll8885]

nice to hear rave tune made on amigs a lot were more then ppl realise lol

[@nickdavis531]

Wikid tune! Good work😉

[@OneHalfOfBent]

Blackadder!! Hahah

[@menschmaschine-2483]

Is that sound quality possible with an amiga 500? I´d like to do some oldschool stuff with it but don´t know exactly how to... Especially when it comes to sampling. Can I only sample directly into the computer, or as well import and convert samples made with my akai-sampler?

[@RaveyStabs]

MenschMaschine - Yes this quality is achievable on a500. Samples are 8 bit iff and wav to iff converter apps exist on the amiga and PC (if you can get the akai to wav). My amiga is not far from working again so planning to do a video with the sampler and MIDI interfaces

[@menschmaschine-2483]

@@RaveyStabs First thanks a lot for the quick answer. Actually I started making "music" on a C64, played guitar and drums for years and later started more or less serious productions on Fruity Loops for a decade. Now I prefer Reason (because of better Midi-capabilities, got a shit load of hardware) and i love Renoise. But last year a friend of mine gave me an amiga500 ( otherwise it would have been ended in the trash....). I just have to fix a cable to run it. But I really need to know how to handle the sample stuff and where to get the software. Best regards from Germany :)

[@SlimMixer]

oioi!!! hc noise in da house /////

[@jefferycostanzajr.4767]

is there any way to get octamed working on windows?

[@Instrumentals4Sale]

blackadder goes ardkore! :)

[@dwarde78]

Belter! :D

[@FrankNFurter1000]

Black Adder samples... well I never.

[@sirgashmbe_nwa5397]

scottish hardcore

[@EpicWinz]

Akai Dan Aye the Scots liked it hard and fast!!!

[@freshmint5130]

Have you done any eq processing? Or it's just raw samples with no pre eq?

[@RaveyStabs]

All raw!

[@TheMaskarad]

you got the .mod anywhere?

[@AngryBulldogg]

What we talking here, bout 1995?

[@RaveyStabs]

Yep sure that was the year, was 17 then, and one of the stabs is from Marc Smith Pump Up The Noize, and Oasis Roll With It at the end, both from that year!

[@AngryBulldogg]

RaveyStabs ha yea sounds very 95. Amazing when we get to see the capabilities of the amiga in contrast to what me n the older brother used to use it for.... Cannon fodder, sensible soccer, premier manager. The things id do for an amiga 1200 with working mouse and the original settlers on 3 1/2" floppy haha

[@RaveyStabs]

Heh had all those games too. What got me into music was getting MED on a demo disk with Old McDonald Had a Farm demo song and figuring out what was going on, realising how accessible it was. Got the rave demos, CU Amiga cover disks came with decent 303/909 sounds, got the sampler adapter, collected/ripped samples from other tracks and was hooked! Only 4 channels, but you made it work and couldn't afford anything else!
