I never got into using trackers myself but I feel like I have just stumbled upon a motherlode of great music I had never heard before.
Did not expect to see you hear, lol
bro you're everywhere
I like the stuff you make
Even "3 years ago" (according to pootube) I hear you brother!
lmao look where i find you
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.
We are here again in 2023

trackers unite. tracker for life.
once tracker, always tracker
Agree

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.
@@DashsChannel but mod consumes more CPU, isn't it?
This sample at 1:37 was also used in a drum and bass track called "Dig this" by Halcyon441, who is now known as "Deadmau5."
i had to give it a listen as ive never really liked listening to deadmau5 ,and dig this is my kinda jam, thanks

halcyon is deadmau5???? lmaooo
Well truth be told it is a very famous sample used hundreds of times in various records since the 80s.
Crazy how after 30 years you realise that the Amiga had capabilities way ahead of its time😎😄👍
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
11 years… this was recorded in 2012… 😂
@@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.
There's something about the vibe of old mods, something that only the mod scene could capture. I could listen to them day.
Time stretching vocal samples by using the sample offset command. Instant Jungle vibes.
4 channel efficiency
It's not passed through a think-tank for optimum uptake.
Lo fi Breaks
@@Fizz-Pop that's a very intelligent way to look at things.
Ahoy's recent upload on trackers took me back 20 years. Man this was a wild time for jungle!
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)
OCTAMED... 9 TRACKS
You can use milky tracker now...great tracker.
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.
There was a “game” for game boy color where you can make music and it’s VERY similar to this layout / method it’s fun to check out guys :)
lsdj is probably more known in the modern tracker age than most sample trackers ngl
@@metalsuccattack6317once upon a time FamiTracker might have had a leg up on LSSj but I'm not sure if it does anymore 😅
14:57 - holy shiiiiit!
That's some pretty good breakcore.
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
Amiga was so far out ahead of its time. Broke my heart when it failed.
Amiga never failed, it was killed by C=
At 18:30 I was reminded that there was beauty in the world. Much appreciated.
spot on
The Amiga was revolutionary make no mistakes. I lived through it.
That track by Punnik is so clean. Ace tune. Big ups.
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.
Made for rollers that rolled..
that sounds so cheesy but you know what I mean… keep it fat and simple
i have no idea how trackers work but here i am
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!
Captainumerica Holy crap, thanks!
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.
_Too Fast_ is such a banger. I am so digging that shit.
The prodigy the heat (the energy) at 10:17
was my first thougth too. thats prodigy exactly
Shit, I can tell the origin of almost 100% of these samples. Holy shit I've been listening to too much jungle. :x
sticksquash Same lol
You've become a toucan
Anybody know a program he use? And what name the modern type of this program today
@@user-qm2cl8vo6r OpenMPT is nice, you can download it at openmpt.org/
@@user-qm2cl8vo6r ProTracker; Music tracker.
As a kid I taught myself Octamed. Watching DJs just pushing play like they made it always ticked me off
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.
back then technology was about progress, now it's just about profit
@@liloni444 tech has become boring.
don't worry, things come, go, and return like waves.
@@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.
My 90's! Can we bring them back?! Please!
I just learned about Amiga jungle music from the Retro Hour podcast... holy crap, I love it so much!
On a task through UA-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:

And here's a massive Hoffman compilation I uploaded a few days ago, most of it is Jungle/DnB
ua-cam.com/video/kJsDgqnIOyA/v-deo.html
Plus on my channel I have uploaded 11 Jungle/DnB compilations :)
i think i had an amiga. I wish i had discovered stuff like this!
love the little fluffy clouds stab lol
this stuff is really FRESH!
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 :)
awesome, a compilation of old randall mods would be gr8 to play :)
Any chance of that download?😁
@@type1online
I uploaded them to UA-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.
Pirat - Escape From Suicide is really good! One of my favorites! It sounds very melancholic and moody.
that's true
all musics have a copyrigth or no?
Love the Bassb0mb - Operations :)
Brilliant mate. Love this stuff
Better than I was looking for! Fantastic!
This music has a soul. Great video.
Super compilation but!
20:50 - Samples from "Zohar -Surrender"
21:20 - Samples from "Justice - Tension"
thanks mate
Big bud - Noodles
Goldie - Shadow (bring Here remix)
S Gurley - Lose here (Remix)
you forgot
18:28 - samples from "Travelling" by Appaloosa
10 minutes in has that sample that could've been used on music for the jilted generation or I'm imagining things
thank you for these vids. never seen an amiga in my life but these are fascinating. big up
Crazy sounds. Thanks for the upload.
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.
Great tunes ... thanks for the upload.
this is where i started.. love this
INSANELY WONDERFUL
Great sounds, I definitely can see a great party played from 2 AMIGAs and a mixer.
I'm waiting for some LMMS + ZynAddSubFx Jungle tutorial! :)
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
This is superb, thanks so much for sharing. I miss the early days of computing.
9yrs old vid
@@sodaslurp and?
this is pure gold !! 😎💪🏼
"Operations" by Bassb0mb is the funky bomb!
Yeah, is awesome, one of my favourite tunes on Amiga :)
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!
This reminds me of long hours of gaming in the '90s. It also reminds me of the warez scene at the time.
wow excelent i remember when i met fasttracker for the first time i think it was in 1992
commodor amiga anyway beautiful work
Very good AMIGA stuff, man. Thanks for the compilation!! (And Merry Christmas btw ;) ).
love this so much. beautiful tunes. gotta love the amigacore classix
Brilliant stuff. Something so 90's about tracker music that just works.
Beautiful. Camstasia 7, such a moment to be alive. Amiga. Paula. This is a masterpiece.
Thank you to all the data compilators. Cheers brothers and sisters!!!!!
Never had an Amiga myself unfortunately (I wished!). Did play with MadTracker years ago, found out it's still going strong the other day.
That celcius track kills.
weapon of a mix been smashing this running late nights in the turbo coupe on the back roads
punnik and substance so beautiful songs
Great sound from the Amiga 🙂👌 ❤️ 🔊
profile pic checks out
You sir are a god amongst people who like modtrackers and drum and bass.
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.
where's the mod compilation?
AWESOME CREATIONS!!!!!
This is just so good
this jungle is wicked
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.
Amazing tune at 19.00!
Beaucoup de son me font panser au jeu Rollcage sur PlayStation 1 ♥
Damn! I'm all about this! Subscribed!
Thanks for this great vidéo ! ❤
Wish I used my Amiga to its full potential, great music 🙌🏼
Track 5 is fucking LEGEND
da jungle is wicked, thanks for this
amazing man than you for the effort!
fresh vibes in 2019 from a machine over 30 years old.
La mejor rama del techno hecha por este maravilloso programa de aquellos años, aun ni si quiera nacía.
Espectacular, maravilloso!
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.
THIS IS GODDAMM AMAZING!!!!
Beautiful track
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.
PERFECT AWESOME!
Beautiful.
Memories :) Sorry I don't have an amiga anymore, made hundreds songs with this. Running Linux now.
I am so grateful for Aminet CDs i was getting back in the 90s. Possibly i would never know of jungle back then. There was always few mods from celsius, sheffra or panik in dedicated „jungle” subfolder.
Yes, I have every Aminet CD and all the sets, probably the greatest compilation CDs for Amiga ever released :))
This is amazing, never had an Amiga and now I'm sad 😭
good stuff
Awesome, keep up stuff like this =)
Still there in 2024 !
perfect video , trackers are the best
love it !
The way the program looks gives off that 90s DnB vibe
awesome
beautiful
Banger mix
Bellissimo ! 💪😉
NICE !!
6:13 samples Pete Namlook aka 4Voice's "Music Hypnotizes (Hypnotizing Mix)"
Bassb0mb - Operations is incredible
Yes we used this back in the day (late 80s early 90s) the pcm sound system. Ever come across any of our shit
Awesome man! Real old school jungle, classic retro sound!!!!
Applause standing!
You wrote it on Amiga 500+ protracker 3.61 =) ?
26:29 doo doo doo doo
yeah , oldskool :) nice!
Celsius approves of this video ;)
