UNATCO (ambient mix) - Deus Ex (2000) - Michiel van den Bos - Impulse Tracker

My nostalgia is augmented.

[@jc_tentnaquinas]

ironically... in actual reality... my vision is actually augmented. I am ... my organic human eyes are... hyper sensitive to UV light... to the point.... that I actually have to wear UV resistant sunglasses quite often. Nearly always at night. These days? No one seems to understand anything about what /brights/ are, in car headlights. Hyperintense in the UV spectrum. HyperInefficient. I do so hate such... literally blindingly obvious ineffciencies in the /apparently/ real world. Try to optimize that though! God help you. I wish he had helped me. I suppose we shall have to invent him or something. :P

@@ChoCho-pm5rj Unironically, these things are understood scientifically. Academically. You can /easily/ read up on the basics on wikipedia. I ... I have to actually hold myself back from scoffing and laughing at how /hilariously obviously and objectively/ incorrect you are.

So cool to see the song being "played".

[@ghostridertom]

Tracker songs are genius, every time you get a "live" performance ;-)

[@Eonlamei]

Today I installed OpenMPT and ran this track from game files. I was really excited to see it running on my PC and messed with it a little bit by changing settings.

[@guidedexplosiveprojectileg9943]

Do it, and don't look back.

[@thegrimreaper7]

This song is such a masterpiece. I can listen to it on loop for hours and never get tired. Such a mood. Great for programming or working too.

[@JazzSicaa]

Thx for the idea, going to try it

[@Roxor128]

Damn. You're right. It'd fit right in with the soundtrack for Uplink. There's another game that uses tracker music.

[@Yusuke_Denton]

Come to think of it we've all listened to it on a loop for hours without even trying. :)

[@AnimeSinsNEW]

Such good memories :)

[@tassadar1977]

Damn you really mixed this nicely!

[@createprince2093]

really great mix! I've listened to Mothership Loudspeakers' remix of this so many times now that I keep mentally bracing myself for the tune to go turbo mode

[@BreiiisBreiiis]

Beautiful piece.

[@Washeek]

Didn't know Michiel did this one, but his signature style is all there.

[@Washeek]

Also I guess this explains why the AoW soundtrack had file extension .IT Literally never heard about this thing till today.

[@richardharris9708]

The intro arp sounds quite similar to Foregone Destruction actually.

[@ThehakkeMadman]

Sampling never gets out of date!

[@justanotherarchive6599]

Were there any samples that were used for this track?

[@tdpro3607]

@@justanotherarchive6599 all "instruments" featured down to the drums are sampled, then synthesized into all sorts of notes, thats how they produce tracks in video games since the 80s due to technical limitations. but sampling nowadays is also what ytpmv makers use for their content, by using all sorts of sources, even ones that we dont call instruments, to create melody. ofc nowadays game studios often have their own orchestra, but "sampling" also evolves and is stronger than ever

[@ThehakkeMadman]

Test 1 2 3... wtf is going on? Tried to comment two times, nothing!

Why do I like the design of the display, I never even used any retro sound system.

I had this on PS2 and Amazing Track right there 👍

[@personmcpersonperson2893]

Beautiful stuff

[@Prince_Sharming]

makes me nostalgic for a time I wasn't really around for...at least not aware of yet

[@Eonlamei]

I feel the same way! I was born in late nineties and did not play this game untill recently, but I feel nostalgia as if I had played it as a teenager when it only came out in 2000.

[@jonathan-iw2wj]

que lindo gracias amigo

[@DubElementMusic]

amazing

[@TheDragShot]

Very nice!

Nostalgia

[@green-lean-espeon]

Seeing stuff like this makes me sometimes wish that I all trackers have cross compatibility. Trackers are completely incompatible with one another and I unfortunately cannot seem to figure out how these old trackers work. I sometimes wish these old trackers at least work like Furnace Tracker.

[@waterpig-p]

Schism tracker can convert between MOD IT S3M pretty well

[@Sypaka]

I use "modplug tracker". i never understood how to make a tracker music (mod, s3m, it, name it).

[@green-lean-espeon]

@@Sypaka I use Furnace Tracker and Famitracker respectively. The problem is that I had to relearn how to use each one because both trackers work slightly differently compared to one another. When I downloaded Impulse Tracker, it worked in a way that is absolutely completely different in every way that I gave up trying to use it altogether, at least Furnace Tracker and Famitracker both work somewhat similarly.

[@dellefranz]

Wait what is this software? And can I make music with it?

[@RicquilaSunset]

This software is called 'impulse tracker', yep you can make music with it. I highly recommend 'Trackers - The Sound of 16-Bit" video from the Ahoy KZbin channel, if you want to know more about it's applications and history of it

[@claireredfield7368]

Wasn´t updated since 1999, way too outdated. lol

[@dellefranz]

@@RicquilaSunset Dude I have to share this with you! I have downloaded OpenMPT and it's the best toy/tool in the shape of software that I have gotten in the longest time. My laptop is literally an instrument of music for me now. I am so happy I was randomly recommended this by KZbin. And you recommending that video was really good too as it took me deeper into this world, thank you for that! Along side gaming, this is something I am using hours on, and I am slowly learning more little by little. My proudest tiny accomplishment so far has been recreating the Music Box from Silent Hill 2, using the MIDI library that comes with it. It almost sounds 1 to 1 and I get to learn about notes first hand! I play a little guitar but I never had the patience to read and learn about notes, but this takes it straight into practice! I love this sooo much! Other than I have also been cutting and making samples from various songs just to experiment with it. If songs are various slabs of meat and other food, then OpenMPT is like a sharp kitchen knife among all the other cutlery you need to make and mix your own music. I have also recreated the PowerPuff Girls theme, though it sounds a little cursed because I struggle to find sounds that are very close to the real deal without literally taking samples from the original theme. I am in love with Impulse Trackers now!

[@snakedogman]

I remember my first attempts at making music using Fast Tracker II! I never really figured it out but I managed to make something resembling music I guess :)

[@Roxor128]

Sure can. That's what Impulse Tracker was made for. The big 3 of Scream Tracker 3, Fast Tracker 2 and Impulse Tracker are all DOS programs from the early-to-mid 1990s, but there are trackers for modern operating systems, such as Milky Tracker and Schism Tracker, which support their formats. Milky Tracker is inspired by Fast Tracker 2, and Schism Tracker is a clone of Impulse Tracker (which itself is a clone of Scream Tracker 3, but lacking FM support). Just did a quick test of both on Linux Mint regarding their S3M support and while Milky Tracker doesn't support FM (not that surprising, given FT2 doesn't), Schism Tracker does. Even better, _it supports hybrid files!_ That's pretty impressive. Support for S3M files with FM instruments is rare. Support for hybrid S3M files with both FM and samples is _incredibly_ rare. This brings my list of programs which will correctly play hybrid S3M files up to three: Scream Tracker 3, VLC Media Player, and Schism Tracker. Yeah, I was really surprised that VLC supported S3M at all, let alone hybrid S3M. You tend to think of it as being for video. A dishonourable mention goes to XMP for Android, which HAD support at one point, and then removed it. Most programs that support S3M will do one of three things when fed a hybrid file: 1. They'll only play the sampled parts and skip the FM. 2. They'll play the FM parts and skip the samples. 3. They'll just refuse to play it outright (Open Cubic Player does this, but will play FM-only and sample-only S3M files just fine).
