I have known Jogeir Liljedahl since 1994/95 when I droped by at SpaceWorld in Moa Shopping center where he works and when I bought a new joystick for my Amiga 500 that I bought in 1994 ☺ I have listen for years to his SID, Amiga, MP3 music ☺ Still I like his cd album The Wanderer and Out Of Silence ❤
Cool, that is what i did using SoundForge in 2000ers. Removing 8 Bit Quantizer Glitch, Adding Bass and Treble, Dynamic Range. . Intermixing the separate Channels,etc. Now it sounds really good. It was before for composition, but now it is WHOW!!! I thank you again for your effort to identify the Tracks of my ol Compilation of Amiga MODs.
I always appreciate these compilations you make! I wasn't around when the Amiga was contemporary, but damn I appreciate the amazing work people do with these things.
Thanks, I was lucky enough to be around during it's peak and love it that there's peeps making excellent Amiga music today, such a testament to the platform. Limitations can often bring out the best of creativity.
Really nice selection this time! Lot of old school feel in the sample selection, starting off with literally old samples, but Subi wins extra points for creative sampling of Heart - Barracuda. Also it was so cool how the screen flickered as H0ffman - Circumvent kicked in... I wondered if there was something H0ffman was doing that messed with the screen or something but eventually realized it was probably a coincidence.
Thanks, it can be pretty hard to pick tunes but in the end I generally just go with what I like. The hardest part is picking what order they go in. The flickering is happening because of recording a CRT with a phone and they have a mismatch fps/hz as well as the amount of light vs shutter. The CRT is at 50hz and this phone can't go higher than 30fps video recording, so it becomes careful placement of the phone to capture the screen without flickering. Even the Protracker colour scheme I use will affect whether the screen flickers or not, if I use too many dark colours then it affects the amount of light as I tend to do this in a dark room. In some of my other videos of real Amiga recording there is much more occasional flickering happening, I must have been right on the edge of all those parameters.
I probably was one of the last remaining 'serious' Amiga users ('serious' as opposed to nostalgic/retro-use), having tuned my A4000T to the max with any available hardware and using it daily for school work, copying and printing documents, buning Playstation CDs, collecting mp3s and swapping lots of sftware through BBSses. Also I was using Maxon Cinema 4D a lot and I remember using Symphony Pro for a short time .. before my main Amiga died, which made me leave computers completely for about five years, out of frustration about the way too expensive hardware (also there of course was some disappointment about the overall Amiga situation). Btw I had all the software I used regularly as original paid version, including XCopy/Cyclone xD. After the five years of abstinence I was given a PC for free and started over, by playing Gothic II (already some years old, then), which was just enough for getting me hooked again. In my opinion Symphone Pro is the best Tracker that ever came for the Amiga. Better than OSS, too in some ways. But it came way too late, so way too few people ever got to know it.
Cool story :) I did the silly thing of selling my last Amiga (from the days) in 2000 for waaaay too cheap and totally regretted about 2 years later. I had an A4000 040/25 for a short time, it had an internal genlock and b-vision graphics card, I purchased it from a guy in ~97 who used it for making TV commercials from '93 to '95. I sold it shortly later because I found it difficult to find memory for it, it had 18meg (2+16) but wanted more. The last Amiga I sold was an A1200 I purchased in '95, originally had a 030/28 plus a Squirrel SCSI PCMCIA CD-Rom but I upgraded it to a 060/50 64meg in '98, dropped in a 13gb 3.5" HDD, sold the Squirrel SCSI and connected an internal type CD-Rom that I picked up for very cheap. The internal CD-Rom just hang outside the the Amiga case with the ide cable and molex. The molex connector was soldered directly to the Amiga power connector internally, bit of a hack but worked a treat. Regarding software I was a Pirate, never purchased a single floppy back in the day for any Amiga I had from A500 in 1990 to A1200 and A4000. EDIT - correction: The only floppy I purchased came with an Amiga sampler I bought called Megalosound that I still have. However I did purchase CDs for the CD32 I had in '93 to '95 which I expanded with the SX1, as well as CDs for the A1200 later on. I purchased all the Aminet Set CDs and this is how I discovered Symphonie Pro. Never had a CD burner for the Amiga but did have one of those real time CD Burning machines that connected directly to your Amplifier and/or Mixer which I had. So I would just press record on the burner, then play on Symphonie Pro or Protracker or whatever and it would just burn in real time. The Burner machine would allow you to cut in tracks so you wouldn't have to burn a full CD in one go. Fun times. I now have 7.5 Amiga's (2xA500, 1.5xA500+ (need 1 case) 2xCD32, 2xA1200) that I've collected from about 2005 till about 2021.
@@off1k Nice collection, and interesting story :) The A4000 RAM was just the normal PS/2s, wasn't it? I didn't use this directly on the A4000's board, but you had to use same on the Phase5 accelerator boards. It wasn't hard to get around here .. but silly expensive! My story with my first Amiga, which was an A2000HD, to, is really sad and somewhat embarrassing... I was too young and too st*pid and actually let it rust in a shed after I got the A1200.. Today I feel bad remembering this.. especially because the A2000HD (with a 'huge' 40MByte Quantum HDD ! xd ) seems to havbe been kind of a rarity .. The A1200 then.. yes! it was this typical nightmare of ribbon cables and boards over boards and adapters, and some smaller expansions, all cramped in this little plastic case.. with some cardboard in between to prevent (most oft the ..) shorts xD And of course you had to sometimes open it op to push some part into the right position to be working again, and that's why you didn't bother putting the screws back at some point . Because of all this I once bought the 'Infinity Tower' which had been hyped in most Amiga magazines (which I read plenty of). The plan was to put the A1200's board inside as supposed and live happily after .. but it all was fake! This tower was so cheaply made, even the screwholes all where just plastic, with no inserts. BVey cheap plastic, and nothing would stay in place even after the first installation of the hardware inside. After some time all the wobbly and clattering plastic drove me crazy and I threw the thing into the garbage .. which was another expensive experience, because I had already bought one of these PCI expansion board (mediator), which where supposed to later fit the PC's PCI graphics cards inside. After losing the case I could never make use of it.. and it's still laying around.. thsi was when I bought the A4000T, in hope it would set everyhting allright xD Well, it was better than my 1200 time for sure. I nowadays just have an A600 which I bought some years, ago, for playing Turrican I here and there :) Sometimes I wish I'd have AGA at hand .. but then I remember it wasn't really worht back then, and it wouldn't be right now .. and then.. I feel like I won't be able to resist forever anyway and will have to buy some AGA machine.. but I'd like having one taking less space than an A1200 or A4000 ... which of course is not really possible, besides some modern expansions like the Vampire or the Manticore.. but sadly there's way too little information and reviews about these expansions, but some not so great experiences I have read of instead..
@@elmariachi5133 I honestly don't remember the ram type. All I remember is it wasn't edo ram which was an abundance everywhere and cheap, the A4000 ram was hard to get here and stupidly expensive if you did find it. The 060/50 board I had for the A1200 used 72pin edo 60ns ram. Ahh Quantum Fireball HDDs, My A1200 when it had the 030/28 also had a Quantum 810MG HDD, they were one of the better brands back in the day imo. My current in use Amiga 1200 has an oldschool 030/40mhz with 32meg, re-capped 5 years ago, replacement case by A1200 (dot) net. Removable Compact Flash HD at rear, Kickstart 3.2, GoEX Drive, Hard keyboard membrane, Black replacement key caps, Amiga mouse converted to laser and internal RapidRoad USB 2.0 with ports located left side of floppy bay. If you check my Hoffman mega compilation here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kJsDgqnIOyA.html right at the end of the video there's picture of it along with my in use A500+ which also has plenty of upgrades/changes :)
whoah. Black Absorber, making my head explode. Do I understand this correctly that the samples are in the Amiga? so no triggering of external instruments?
Im glad to see you are still alive off1k! I used to listen to your music a lot, especially from Daxx, Thunder and Pirat, my favorite artists from you. You were my childhood!
@@ChristopherGray00 100% Paula, that is recorded directly from my A1200. However it is also going through my mixer and I have merged/crossed the audio channels to remove the hard-panned stereo which sounds horrible with headphones imo and convert to about 85% mono. Paula is the best 8bit sound chip produced imo. Many of the Amiga musicians today make their samples on a PC using 16bit resolution and then convert them to 8bit resolution in something like Audacity. I mean Audacity can even convert them to Amiga .iff/SVX8 sample format. You really don't lose much going from 16bit to 8bit.
