Back when all you had was dial up, an mp3 could take up to 30 mins to download. These guys were just a few minutes each, this was def the way to listen to music back then.
I use trackers for my main music composing. I only prototype the songs in FL Studio. Because I also do game dev and I appreciate music formats that play back in real time, they have a different, more raw quality to them than today's hyper-polished OGG soundtracks even for indie games.
Yeah and all because the guys that build the amiga said.. who needs a synth chip. Let us do just 4 digital sample channels so you can use every sample you want as an instrument. Thats also why the amiga sounds so different than any other computer of its time. The PC took this over when the soundblaster came out. But they only used it a short periot of time because in the mid 90s you got more and more ram and complete Songs could be played digital (as we have it today) so no need of tracked samples. One PC game that still used it very late was Unreal tournament btw.
That's not how it works though. It was simply one of the more capable consumer grade machines of its time. Pretending that anything Commodore made was "ahead of its time" frankly requires a notable amount of ignorance of computer history, unless you are talking only about the context of consumer-grade computers (which you did not specify).
well for a computer made in 1985 it was still a very different approach on the "sound" topic. No other pc could do what the amiga did in 1985. Maybe beside silicon gfx. Even the 16bit ara Apple couldnt do this. So it was indeed something special. And dont forget the amiga was also cheap. The first PC card that could do sample songs was the soundblaster in 1989. Of course you could buy digital and also very expensive studio samplers and operate them via Midi. But thats another story when we just talk about computers and mixing at home. For direct Midi the Atari ST was unbeatable in the 90s. Thats why most Studios had the Atari as a DAW at the end of the 80s and in the early 90s@@awesomeferret
@@MrJackal43 the hardware is much older though. They mentioned the Amiga, not a song. They're talking about the instrument itself (the Amiga) which is 30+ years old.
I had an Amiga back in those Jungle days, But no one ever told me about trackers! Such a missed opertunity. I got an Amiga 1200 in 1994 which is the same year I got into Jungle. (still got the A1200, that baby is going to the grave with me)
Yeah man - like 30 odd years of dabbling with trackers - I recently went back and kept at it until it all made sense. So glad I did - I can make Jungle in trackers now - and by the nature of trackers.....it sounds like proper Jungle. So sick. Would recommend it. Look up WASP AMIGA on youtube for his protracker2 clone tutorials. They are really good.
Oh the memories!!! Well done! The birds chirping... classic!!! Fire thank you. People don't realize how lucky they are to have DAWs with 10k the power but this is proof the end result is all that matters.
I cannot describe how much i love this mix and amiga jungle .. man it has that classic need for speed/grand turismo game dnb kinda vibe spacey nineties bliss fucking sick dude love it
Pretty simple, really. Even I, not a musician, can use Protracker. You need audio samples, think .wav files for Windows, then roll the four tracks (some trackers like Octamed had eight, interpolating the four channels of the Amiga), and you just select a sample and press space to mark the track. There's of course a variety of effect to apply. Try it!
Yup. The letters in the Left indicated the pitch the sample was played at. Tempo and other effects were indicated by the far right section of each track. Some trackers were slightly different but all of them worked in more or less the same way. Impulse tracker was the best. Had so many effects.
@@robertdale2964 If you want a modern version of Impulse Tracker, look no further than Schism Tracker as it's a total clone but runs on tons of platforms.
fucking trackers man, I'm so old, I figured out how to make some trashy bullshit at 9yo with modedit iirc, downloading mods from bbses on 2400baud dialup lmao... omg I love this lolol
Yes, It's by Randall of Suburban Base and is part of a music disk compilation called Dance Diverse 2 done in 1995. I plan to upload at some point but will take a while as there is 43 tunes in total and is approx 3 hours 20 mins worth of awesome breakbeat choons :)
@@type1online I uploaded them to TH-cam years ago :) It's weird how my comment is not attached to the original thread, silly youtube system. search Amiga Music: Randall - Dance diverse 2 it's in 6 parts. Have a listen, if you still like them I can give a download link of them as mp3.
On a task through TH-cam and came across this! Massive memories! Damn I miss OctaMED so much. With so many restrictions and limitations, I'd argue that the period of Amiga music production required so much more talent and intelligence than today's methods. From making tunes sound good despite the sample limitations, to actually sequencing it all together .It was difficult, repetitive work, but damn was it rewarding! Thanks for this video, buddy! Long live D&B!
Yeah I probably agree, in one sense it was easier on Amiga because there is only 4 channels, less options/effects and less to master equaling less to go wrong. In another way it's much more creativity required and mastering the software and sampling because of the 4 channels and less options to make the end result sound great. There's still a fairly decent Amiga scene today, here's a video of Amiga tunes released in 2023: th-cam.com/video/CgAcPZhwwr4/w-d-xo.html And here's a massive Hoffman compilation I uploaded a few days ago, most of it is Jungle/DnB th-cam.com/video/kJsDgqnIOyA/w-d-xo.html Plus on my channel I have uploaded 11 Jungle/DnB compilations :)
really cool to see the samples,notes used in a small file, usually it's not possible with other formats except you share the project file but nobody does that, many videogames used to have samples separately too instead of a wave or compressed file, would be cool to see how commercial songs are made but that would also make people steal samples and i don't think record labels want that (for me it's not a problem)
Not only would it also require vastly excessive processing power compared to decoding one gigantic sample, but more importantly it would also require the inclusion of non-free effects.
thanks for uploading this. its amazing! is there any way to get the tracks as mp3? or is it possible to run these files with a player on a new mac or pc? i feel like i just stumbled into a deep rabbit hole of amazing jungle music and i want to go further .
There are plenty of players out there but if you want it as close to Amiga sound as possible and with almost zero glitches, you're best to download Protracker 2 Clone for Win or Mac from here: 16-bits.org/pt2.php :) it gets regular updates at the moment, latest version is v1.64 (Sept 7th 2023). Within the program there's a "MOD2WAV" button top right corner. This will convert the song to a .wav file, only takes seconds to do it for you :)) You can grab all the songs from here: amp.dascene.net/ Use the quick search top left corner. Here's a video of PT2 Clone in action: th-cam.com/video/1zKUovDj8GY/w-d-xo.html
OMG this brings back memories of not only raving in the 90's, but also having an Amiga 500 and 1200 as a child. I used to play about with this exact program. It's funny, because technology wasn't as advanced back then, but both music and society were far better than they are now.
@@88anarahammertime the rave scene of the 90's will never return. It can't, because society has changed so much. Raves nowadays have lights, but no lasers. You can try to recreate that time, but it wouldn't be the same.
Never understood trackers. I have used Cubase and Cakewalk, fruity loops and other midi based software but trackers I never understood them. For one, the layout and display isn't user friendly, confusing and some elements are just not required.
They were created by programmers for programmers (i.e. game music), the sample-banks occupied an optimised memory footprint, and the game code can both influence and react to the music. E.g. If you have 2 versions of the song in separate pattern lists, you can jump to the exact same place in the other version (e.g. more exciting for during a power a up), and the music being played would match the player events in real-time. Or vice versa, every time a sample was played you can write a callback to animate a game character in time with the music, e.g. put data into the command columns to represent different poses. For pure musical composition, possible, fun, but not the most musician friendly.
Technically you already have, you just need a program to rip it from your cache I think, this is providing you have watched or atleast let it fully download on the timeline. You can also use a program like Camtasia or Hypercam to capture while watching it in realtime :)
Man, I love that tune! Full of intricate details but still hard hitting and powerful! A little different from the common dnb sound as well, very fresh!
Nice to get a comment from one of the composers :), will check out your channel. You are one of the composers I will be uploading a mod compilation of soon, there isn't much of your stuff on youtube and I have 54 of your tunes. I hope you dont mind.
you could connect two amigas with a serial cable, run protracker on both, and have 8 channels and double the memory/samples... press space and both of them would start playing, sometimes you'd have to try a couple of times for them both to be synced
Rocking! Love it. Had fun with ProTracker and then moved on to OctoMed. I wish I'd spent more time with both. I should have given up my stupid job and done this full time.
Nice what you've made from it, but those 4 channels are really a limitation. 6 channels could drastically improve the song, just to have those 1 or 2 background things going.
My first music making experience was with FT 2 on DOS. I knew nothing about beats and bars and played everything by ear. I remember them as masterpeices although they were likely terrible. All lost in the floppy disc graveyard now. Still, I can dream they were genuis.
10:11 ???????? this sounds very similar to the ending part of Prodigy - Speedway song.. why? Did Prodigy stolen this tune or the Juice is Prodigy guy or what? Actually the entire style is similar to the early Prodigy ;o
Wow, that birds tweeting at the beginning of that one song sounds a lot like the bird recording I did for an IT song I did in 2001. I recorded some birds tweeting outside my place for the intro of my song (Woodlander's New Dawn). Not saying it's the same, but damn that's close.
lol I also did an IT song, for Canon actually although i think the year was 98 or 99 and used the bird sample off a roland mc303 - guess birds were n high demand back then 😂
There are many ways to do this, I'll give you a couple of examples :) Go to KeepVid (dot) com Insert the URL for this video into space provided and click the down arrow button on website, then select which quality video or audio only you want. Another option is to download original mod files from amp (dot) dascene (dot) net. load them into a mod player like BZR Player, ModPlug Player or something similar, most mod players have a save to wave function so you can make a wave file then convert that to MP3 with a conversion tool. Hope this helps :))
@@off1k so the second way you mention is to actually make tracks yourself? On a windows laptop and able to record samples via a mic into the USB? Help!
@@@JMJC1 No, the second way is just to record the whole song from a mod player (not a tracker) but it doesn't record in real time, it only takes about 1 or 2 seconds save as wave, you're not recording individual samples. If you're after the individual samples, the best way imo is to download "Protracker clone" for Windows from here --> 16-bits.org/pt.php Beta version #3 download: (binaries updated 23.11.2018 18:03 GMT +2 - changelog) --> Windows 32-bit (Windows XP SP2 and later) - Palette editor tool --> macOS/OS X 64-bit (OS X 10.6 and later - read Mac notices below!) - Palette editor tool click on "Windows 32-bit" listed above once on the site ^^ to download the program, from there you can download the tunes from amp.dascene.net/ and load them into Protracker clone and have access to the samples :)
@@off1k thanks, I'll look at that. So how would you record a sample from another source, vinyl, tape or whatever to manipulate in one of these programs? Keen on making some simple '92 hardcore style stuff. Or would a FL type program be a better and easier way. Cheers.
Some of it for sure, the Amiga was used with quite a few early commercial Drum & Bass. Not so much with Protracker, most used Octamed because it had midi support.
@@off1k Alot of producers used the ST as well. Had midi right out the box lol. Hard patterning a copy of Cubase now a days tho. Unless u know some1 w a crack diskette. Keys are impossible to find now
@@reno5159 Yeah no doubt, ST was pretty cheap compared to Amiga in the launch days ('85 to '87) and so it did have that niche music producing market more so than Amiga in the 80's, hard to say in the 90's though. By early DnB/Jungle years a midi box for Amiga was fairly cheap or better yet just build your own for next to nothing.
@@off1k Yeah I'm lucky my Amiga came w a midi box. Would like to make my own still tho haha. Think by the time the A500 dropped it was cheaper. The Amiga clearly sold more units here tho, as you can see by looking at the used market lol. Probs cus it was good at everything. Music, graphics, gaming, documents.. ahead of its time. Atari defo marketed themselves towards musicians as well. Not sure of the sales numbers tbh. Ik alot of ppl who still use Cubase ST tho. Still just as functional as any modern daw. Especially if you already got samplers n synths in ur studio
@@reno5159 There was a midi box for Amiga at launch in '85 for $50USD but then as MIDI become more popular for Computers (probably thanks to the ST) and the box's more sophisticated they actually went up in price for the most part until they started dropping again. Ofcourse this would depend in which world region. An excellent midi program for Amiga was Bars & Pipes Pro, I would say every bit as pro as Cubase and possibly more featured but it's interface imo not as nice.
There is an Amiga tune by Suburban Base with the "In complete darkness"-sample, I think I recorded it off my Amiga and uploaded it to TH-cam, check my page.
Yeah, they were originally in TrackerPacker v3 format according to the mod files I have. I got my DD2 tunes off an Amiga Format cover CD called Scene Storm but there was 1 tune missing so had to hunt that down from somewhere online.
Nice when you think about it Protracker was used as much as OctaMEd if not more. Trackers were great for junglism... People always say Atari and Cubase and Akai samplers but I'm not so sure ;)
@@robertdale2964 started with scream tracker, then went to impulse tracker then modplug tracker in windows, after that i went for renoise, which i still use to this day :)
Great job with these compilations! I really liked the stuff that you've released on this channel. Can we have a link to the actual mods library, so it's possible to fire up an emulator/mod player and listen to these great beats offline? :-)

Rocking! Love it. Had fun with ProTracker and then moved on to OctoMed. I wish I'd spent more time with both. I should have given up my stupid job and done this full time.
Crazy sounds. Thanks for the upload.
goat machine
good stuff
Yeah, and even later on, Symfony. Crazy. Still on Amiga 1200...
Nice what you've made from it, but those 4 channels are really a limitation. 6 channels could drastically improve the song, just to have those 1 or 2 background things going.
*KILL SAMPLE*
Memories :) Sorry I don't have an amiga anymore, made hundreds songs with this. Running Linux now.
My first music making experience was with FT 2 on DOS. I knew nothing about beats and bars and played everything by ear. I remember them as masterpeices although they were likely terrible. All lost in the floppy disc graveyard now. Still, I can dream they were genuis.
10:11 ???????? this sounds very similar to the ending part of Prodigy - Speedway song.. why? Did Prodigy stolen this tune or the Juice is Prodigy guy or what?
Actually the entire style is similar to the early Prodigy ;o
Wow, that birds tweeting at the beginning of that one song sounds a lot like the bird recording I did for an IT song I did in 2001. I recorded some birds tweeting outside my place for the intro of my song (Woodlander's New Dawn). Not saying it's the same, but damn that's close.
lol I also did an IT song, for Canon actually although i think the year was 98 or 99 and used the bird sample off a roland mc303 - guess birds were n high demand back then 😂
Beaucoup de son me font panser au jeu Rollcage sur PlayStation 1 ♥
I wish I could download this as an MP3 album and listen to this while I jog.
There are many ways to do this, I'll give you a couple of examples :)
Go to KeepVid (dot) com
Insert the URL for this video into space provided and click the down arrow button on website, then select which quality video or audio only you want.
Another option is to download original mod files from amp (dot) dascene (dot) net.
load them into a mod player like BZR Player, ModPlug Player or something similar, most mod players have a save to wave function so you can make a wave file then convert that to MP3 with a conversion tool.
Hope this helps :))
Pretty neat. Do you know how I'd make a synth like at 0:30?
@@off1k so the second way you mention is to actually make tracks yourself? On a windows laptop and able to record samples via a mic into the USB? Help!
@@@JMJC1
No, the second way is just to record the whole song from a mod player (not a tracker) but it doesn't record in real time, it only takes about 1 or 2 seconds save as wave, you're not recording individual samples.
If you're after the individual samples, the best way imo is to download "Protracker clone" for Windows from here --> 16-bits.org/pt.php
Beta version #3 download: (binaries updated 23.11.2018 18:03 GMT +2 - changelog)
--> Windows 32-bit (Windows XP SP2 and later) - Palette editor tool
--> macOS/OS X 64-bit (OS X 10.6 and later - read Mac notices below!) - Palette editor tool
click on "Windows 32-bit" listed above once on the site ^^ to download the program, from there you can download the tunes from amp.dascene.net/ and load them into Protracker clone and have access to the samples :)
@@off1k thanks, I'll look at that. So how would you record a sample from another source, vinyl, tape or whatever to manipulate in one of these programs? Keen on making some simple '92 hardcore style stuff. Or would a FL type program be a better and easier way. Cheers.
Recently been learning more about old sound cards, glad I came across this!
So, this is how drum and bass beats were made in the 90s?
Some of it for sure, the Amiga was used with quite a few early commercial Drum & Bass.
Not so much with Protracker, most used Octamed because it had midi support.
@@off1k Alot of producers used the ST as well. Had midi right out the box lol. Hard patterning a copy of Cubase now a days tho. Unless u know some1 w a crack diskette. Keys are impossible to find now
@@reno5159
Yeah no doubt, ST was pretty cheap compared to Amiga in the launch days ('85 to '87) and so it did have that niche music producing market more so than Amiga in the 80's, hard to say in the 90's though.
By early DnB/Jungle years a midi box for Amiga was fairly cheap or better yet just build your own for next to nothing.
@@off1k Yeah I'm lucky my Amiga came w a midi box. Would like to make my own still tho haha. Think by the time the A500 dropped it was cheaper. The Amiga clearly sold more units here tho, as you can see by looking at the used market lol. Probs cus it was good at everything. Music, graphics, gaming, documents.. ahead of its time. Atari defo marketed themselves towards musicians as well. Not sure of the sales numbers tbh. Ik alot of ppl who still use Cubase ST tho. Still just as functional as any modern daw. Especially if you already got samplers n synths in ur studio
@@reno5159
There was a midi box for Amiga at launch in '85 for $50USD but then as MIDI become more popular for Computers (probably thanks to the ST) and the box's more sophisticated they actually went up in price for the most part until they started dropping again.
Ofcourse this would depend in which world region.
An excellent midi program for Amiga was Bars & Pipes Pro, I would say every bit as pro as Cubase and possibly more featured but it's interface imo not as nice.
Brilliant stuff. Something so 90's about tracker music that just works.
Great sound from the Amiga 🙂👌 ❤️ 🔊
profile pic checks out
That celcius track kills.
There is an Amiga tune by Suburban Base with the "In complete darkness"-sample, I think I recorded it off my Amiga and uploaded it to TH-cam, check my page.
Yeah, they were originally in TrackerPacker v3 format according to the mod files I have. I got my DD2 tunes off an Amiga Format cover CD called Scene Storm but there was 1 tune missing so had to hunt that down from somewhere online.
fresh vibes in 2019 from a machine over 30 years old.
Nice when you think about it Protracker was used as much as OctaMEd if not more.
Trackers were great for junglism...
People always say Atari and Cubase and Akai samplers but I'm not so sure ;)
Yeah I used a lot of trackers back in the day. Octamed, Impulse tracker, Scream Tracker and Fast tracker 2.
@@robertdale2964 started with scream tracker, then went to impulse tracker then modplug tracker in windows, after that i went for renoise, which i still use to this day :)
Octamed and Akais ;)
This reminds me of long hours of gaming in the '90s. It also reminds me of the warez scene at the time.
Great job with these compilations! I really liked the stuff that you've released on this channel. Can we have a link to the actual mods library, so it's possible to fire up an emulator/mod player and listen to these great beats offline? :-)
I've only ever used fami tracker for NES style music ❤
в начале вообще шляпа, но ближе к концу нормально
Anyone else here had a TON of .mod files like this back in the 90s?
The Powerpuff Girls Intro? the first music
Propa dnb/jungle.. Trackers rule.
I will be happy one day when i find my music in simmolar presentation.
There's is only one genre I hate more than jungle; and that's reggea
Incredible! Time has passed and AMIGA (and the artists also) is so present till today. Ahead from the others systems... This is a perfect ecossystem.
would you be cool with sharing these mods?! Please let me know!! Thanks for the muzac!!
