Top Rated Best Tracker Music Reviews - Keygen & Chiptunes on ModArchive

[@elguitarTom]

Ahh remember in the 90's.... sitting in my room at night making songs on Fast Tracker 2. those were the days

[@StompGojiStomp]

Space Debris was what cemented mod music for me. Such a good track.

[@ArcaneToaster]

yuki satellites is still so unbelievably good. everything radix does is magic

[@trackermusicforever]

It’s an incredible track, radix is one of the best!

[@awesomefacepalm]

Yuki Satellites is my personal favorite

[@DirkLarien]

Wish he or some one to remake it it feels unfinished. Second half just dies down. It deserves to be longer and repeated at least once the main theme.

[@chefkawasaki4792]

@@DirkLarien if you want a longer version here's a link of one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p36odaypmpKolbc

[@DirkLarien]

@@chefkawasaki4792 Yeah i know this edit and like it alot But it could be longer still. What can i say, his tunes are realy addictive you just don't want them to end. 8 to 10 minutes would be ideal. It may sound long but i feel like it fits tracking modules really well.

[@DMStern]

A funny thing about Purple Motion's Second Reality track being the most popular track is that it's also one of the first S3Ms ever made, composed before Future Crew had released Scream Tracker 3 to the public.

[@RedHeat]

Hi Beej. Nice to see a vid of TMA, I coded those pages ^^

7:21 Overclocking Pentium 4 on liquid nitrogen to 5GHz ;)

[@GustafStechmann]

very cool video, i love the way you balance out the music and the talking. its like listening to a good radio station

[@alkenstein]

It's fascinating looking back at this having experienced it first time around. There's so much tracker format music that's been written, and I guess it's a music type which has *mostly* died out nowadays. But a huge treasure trove still exists from back then

[@videosdful]

Absolutely amazing. My favourite is Yuki Satellites, so far.

[@awesomefacepalm]

Same, listened too it so many times

[@jm036]

For me it's Point of Departure.

[@JasonCramer]

I'm loving this!! Please make more! Of course we've all heard the all time best track 2nd_pm... but these others are really great. I only got a couple in so far. I know what I'm gonna finish watching after work tomorrow!

[@trackermusicforever]

Haha awesome. Thank you so much and glad you enjoy!

[@mst4705]

Have you featured Autumn Depressions ever? It's my favorite! You need to listen to it for a bit, it's long and builds up steadily. After running into this video I searched for several hours for the songs as I forgot what it was called. So happy I found it.

[@leonvankammen7499]

thx for this. 'Point of Departure' has cool stereo effects too.

[@przemekpawlikowski4420]

Great analysis. I know some of this tunes almost from the time they were made. Cheers!

[@trackermusicforever]

Thank you! Some of these have been my favorites since the 90s too :)

[@Zejoant]

Awsome video. All these songs are amazing!

[@da-voodoo-shuffle]

This is some high quality content. Thanks for all the hard work out into it

[@da-voodoo-shuffle]

Another great track from necros is mechanism eight. For UT99 game

[@toniw5740]

Elwood, my all time favourite

[@robertsmith4830]

Can't believe Axel-F isn't on the list! Of the top 10 Aryx is by far my favourite, but my overall favourite is Panama Sky by Ace & Azur.

[@minebrandon95264]

How were the samples in Space Debris made, I found the SYNBRASS sample renamed to SYNBRAS2 in the song Big Jim-Cold Fear and without the sawtooth thingy, and i think some of the drums are also in both songs.

[@trackermusicforever]

Well, at first I thought they sound quite similar to some of the classic st-xx sample packs from the early Amiga protracker days. But they're not labelled the same way, and they seem to be Captain's original samples, because they all sound fairly consistent and are labelled consistently with each other. I would say the synth sounds are all from a late '80s DCO analog synth like the Roland alpha-Juno 2 which I know some of the early trackers used for samples. For the drum machine sounds, the snare sounds like one of the Roland D-70 snare samples I have, so possibly that or another late '80s or early 90s drum machine.

[@minebrandon95264]

@@trackermusicforever thanks for responding, I can't wait to see more of your videos!

[@DMStern]

@Dr.Quarex He did later become a professional musician, but he was still 17 when he wrote Space Debris.

[@DMStern]

Captain has written an essay on how the track was made, you can find it on his personal website by searching "captain space debris" or his name (Markus Kaarlonen). There he says that he sampled his own Roland D-5 synth and a Roland R-8 drum machine he had access to, but also that many samples were taken from the sample packs mentioned earlier.

[@chiffmonkey]

@@DMStern Yeah he was aspiring to be a professional musician and didn't really get his break until Dance Nation.

[@jimson172]

I wish you wouldn't talk over the music even though I think you did a good job describing it. This could be the type of thing people want to listen to repeatedly and your video could be the only archival on KZbin for some of these songs.

[@trackermusicforever]

That’s a good idea to make a playlist of these songs with no talking, I’ll try to do that. I wanted to try doing some commentary on this video. Thanks for watching

[@no9or9]

Second Reality tune is fantastic, but order amongst the cult music tracks depends on where are you comming from. That track very much resembles music by Laxity from Amiga demo Desert Dream. And the demo itself also seems somewhat infulenced by DD which is very likely given that Second Reality was released a half year later. No need to state that I prefer the original ones :)

[@camouflage81]

Deadlock and one called "Mobyle" is my 2 favoirtes. Listen to mobyle for some interesting tracker drumming.

[@ben.reynolds]

My favourite Necros track was Martian Lovesong (criminally placed second in MC5), but by this stage we're past peak MOD engagement and it would never make it onto a top 10 list. :)

[@firelinkrox]

why not use milkytracker ? it s FOSS modern Impulse tracker like (schism also is FOSS but seems less good in tune quality interpretation )

[@trackermusicforever]

Ok thanks I’ll try it out! Sorry I’m making these on an old MacBook so I’m working with what I have

[@trackermusicforever]

It seems pretty good I’ll make sure to use that for any XM songs in the future :)

[@tivvy2vs21]

I want to learn openmpt, that a good one?

[@firelinkrox]

@@tivvy2vs21 yes pretty decent, but only on Windows. the hot topic about tracker now is furnace tracker, it can play multiple soundchips (amiga paula, yamaha genesis, c64 etc.. almost all classical soundchips) and you can mix them, it s mutli OS (win , tux, mac) and totally FOSS

[@Lantrix]

10:28 deadlock is awesome

[@Lantrix]

But guitar slinger & spec debris are the ones I remember most from the 90s
