Wait what? The first Amiga arrived around 1985/86, 10 years later the 8 bit Paula and the AGA/AA chipset had to keep up with Matrox Mystique and Sound Blaster 16/AWE32 (even AWE64) cards. On the CPU side the Amiga had to compete with a Pentium 133. No, 10 years ahead is just wrong. Even early SVGA cards from the late 80s could outclass the AGA/AA chipset. I am myself a huge Amiga fan, owning all models except for the A1000, Walker and Access, but this is kind of delusional. You could say that AmigaOS was ahead with datatypes, proper shared objects (libs), the installer and localization. But that AmigaOS (3.0, the first really good one), appeared around 1991. Ten years later it had to compete with Windows 2000 and already very usable BSD or Linux distributions.
I remember this. Most of them are burned into brain and can not be removed. It was my first digital musical studio, and it made me happy because the process was intuitive to build a track with 4 mono track. I can not get enough of this music and i plan to build my own archive again as i used to have on floppy discs. I loved it. We need a Protracker app for android . I would by it.
For sure there was such an amount of PASSION for technology in the '80s and '90s... now (for good) you can take a smartphone, an embedded platform (RasPi), a gaming console, a generic personal computer, a set-top-box, and they have almost the same features and capabilities: everything software-mixed, everything OpenGL/DirectX, mostly written in high-level programming languages (if not even scripts!)... we have so MUCH powerful machines that we do not have the DRIVE to push them to the limit anymore, except for gaming and a few professional niches. This is why I chose to work with microcontrollers!
I'm from the generic video game world, and then I stumbled across videos like this. Wasn't expecting the amazing sound quality of the music! What is this anyway?? Why I've never heard of this before?
@sonyviva308 What you're listening to are "modules", music files that arises with the Commodore Amiga (a computer from the late 80s). If you feel like going straight to the source google "The mod archive" and download some tracks. You'll need a special player, these are not MP3s. I use the DUMB module player plug-in for foobar2000. If you like this stuff be sure to check the "demoscene", which is this kind of music with animations running on old hardware that push it to its limits.
are you hearing a state of the art computer (Amiga) PLAY music and not REPRODUCE music like today. The Paula chip was created by artists of electronic. Check en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_Chip_Set For me, AMIGA was the best and more emotional capable computer ever created. Pure electronic art.
@@bakatoroi @sonyviva308 i use KMPlayer (for many years) since beyond any of the popular wav,mp3,flac formats also reproduces (not play's) .xm .mod .s3m ..almost all formats ,even from game files music directly!
Do you really remember the first time you open the amiga box and start to play a game with your new amiga....it was a spiritual and religios experience...
for me it was back in the days when I owned an Amstrad and went to visit a friend that just got an Amiga 1000. I was sold. Graphic, sound, everything was amazing.
@@kazaaakplethkilik3229 At the most basic it was spread by floppydiscs. So "hand to hand", but also via physical mail and ofcourse through Copy Parties (precursor to LAN-Parties)... Then through BBS (bullentin board systems) by modem. Then Internet happened :)
When i bought my first amiga i plumbed the audio to my HiFi and put my headfones on and all i can say is i am glad i put my headfones on.
Amazing sound, amazing machine. Amiga hardware was for sure some 10, 15 years ahead of its time.
and could learn with one book... that book :D

Aah those memories. I was 28 then.

I would say that we are even further than we imagined back than.

What a sound!
Yeah I was sceptical to the Dolby Headphones soundscape but jeez, this sounds wonderful *and* does the original justice!
So cool that TH-cam actually makes word bold as well haha
All time favorite
Listening back to this now makes me want to fire up my a600.... infact i think i will :)
Oh man, this brings back so many childhood memories. :) Amazing sound quality. Thanks so much for uploading this!
Awesome tracks! Amiga still rulez!!
Wow, listening on a dolby headset with surround sound turned on. good work!!!
Wow, I just got into the Elysium part. This is incredible stuff. Thank you for sharing
Masterpiece!
Awesome 1992. Still awesome in 2020. I really enjoy your channel, cheers!
Love the Amiga.

Classic MODs

Stardust Memories flashback is real. I was 12 back then.
I'm here from new generation with some stupid questions: where did people listen to this music? Where was this type of music published?

Wow - superb conversion to Dolby Headphone. Thanks so much!
Thank you for this.
sound is really nice and fat, the way it's supposed to be. big ups for that and thanks for upping! :)
If you like Mod music, I'd highly recommend checking out the genre "Italo Disco" which heavily inspired it.
I would add Synthwave and all its derivatives and variations as they are also partially inspired by Italo disco among many other genres.
I dont know if the children nowdays experience something like this...
Right now
it's crazy :)
how do u make post process in dolby ? My favorites musaaaax ! Thanks
epic
whats the picture, is that cgi? because it looks so nice and crisp
+Gustaf Stechmann Yes it's CGI made by Ralf Ostertag for WinUAE usage.
I really want to get this image. Google search for the info in the description returns all of your videos.🤪
