"Wherehouz" Amiga industrial/rave ProTracker 

Thank you! Be sure to check out other cool Amiga musicians like XSM, FTC Project, Hackurr, Amiga Junglism, Snakebyte64, Teo, XCOPY... the list goes on and on.

I'd probably be weirded out if I suddenly heard a didgeridoo anywhere, let alone an abandoned warehouse.

@@paulahaunt Possible boss battle?

I'm now trapped with a random boss

Yeah, even if I was gonna track all the melodic instruments the hard way, I'd still be using full drum loops because it's the only way to get all the percussion onto one channel.

@@paulahaunt The joy of trackers is the ability to crack a song open, and tinker with it directly. Sharing is caring!

😠 👨‍🔬

Awesome, glad you like the tune! This is one of those tracks that came out of nowhere when I was just messing around. I'll have to try writing some more stuff like this in the future.

Thanks for your comment, I never had an Amiga when I was a kid, I would have been too young to know what to do with it anyway. There's a lot of great Amiga music on RU-vid, look up XSM, Amiga Junglism, jacobthebatchbandit, cyclone sid, off1k's compilations... there's so many more too, and then there's all the demoscene stuff. You'll start getting a bunch of recommendations.

Thanks for the comment!

Haha, good to hear, thanks!

😂

Thanks for the comment, glad you like it!

Cool, thanks, glad you liked it!.

Thanks, glad you like it!

Thanks Quaad!

Cool, I'll check it out!

Flawless victory!

Thanks for the comment! I edit all my samples in a Renoise project before processing them with echolevel's AmigaPal software: github.com/echolevel/AmigaPal AmigaPal will convert the samples to an 8 bit format that ProTracker can load but without altering the pitch or speed of the samples. Then I just set the BPM in ProTracker to the same BPM I used to prepare my samples in Renoise. You can still play samples at different speeds/pitches using different notes but if you use the root note that you specify in AmigaPal, everything should match up tempo-wise.

@@paulahaunt Hey man, do you use the Protracker remake?

@@colonialp9 Yep, I'm using the Windows clone by 8bitbubsy.

@@paulahaunt Awesome, how do you change the color theme?

@@colonialp9 8bitbubsy also makes a color palette editor for the clone, you can download it on the same page that you get the clone itself. 16-bits.org/pt2.php Scroll down to the bottom for the palette editor downloads.

Someday I'll add the MOD's to the album downloads on my Bandcamp.

@@paulahaunt alright bro thanks a bunch 🙏

Haha, it's definitely a spookier color scheme than the normal one!

@@paulahaunt true

No, it's from an old Zero-G sample pack. It's possible the developers of that game used the same sample or more likely most didgeridoos sound pretty similar.

Oh I don't know, I'm no expert on that sound. The riff at 1:48 sounds like a typical rave or oldskool hardcore riff to me, but that's about it for rave sounds in this track. If you look up Pete Cannon, he's done some great stuff with that oldskool flavor using an Amiga and Octamed.

@@paulahaunt thank you for the recommendation. I'll check that out

@@paulahaunt i'd def call this breakbeat / rave. esp with those stabs at 1:48 and the vocals, very early/mid 90s

@@alwaystired1 Yeah, I think I'd just heard Urban Shakedown's "Do It Now" for the first time shortly before I started working on this track, and the vocal buildup part at 2:43 is definitely influenced by that tune.

@@paulahaunt i can see the inspiration, both very sick tracks

That's okay, no hate! It's just how I've come to use ProTracker. I make the samples in Renoise and then convert them to ProTracker format. This tune in particular isn't even the most obvious example either, if you check out my newer videos my tracking has gotten even lazier. I have older videos of chiptunes in Milky Tracker, and even my earlier ProTracker vids have more real time tracking, so I'm covered if I ever have to legally prove that I can use a tracker or something.

@@paulahaunt Im just pissy because back then so many "trackers", won competitions because they looped samples instead of composing. But you are obviously just learning or messing around, which is totally fine.

@@bazz303 Haha, yeah, this kind of stuff probably shouldn't be allowed in a pure tracking compo. It's more like sequencing than tracking I guess. I think of it as the ProTracker version of people who use Octamed to sequence their Akai S950's.

But this tune is still boppin me up and down tbh

Don't forget about romeo knight, papa smurf, and ziphoid...

@@Newtined you forgot: Dr. Awesome, Chris Hülsbeck, Thomas Detert, Fabian Del Priore, Larsec, Markus Schneider, Purple Motion, Galaxion, and others

@@solar3mpire ill do ya one better: nasenbluten, jogeir liljedahl, travolta, ctrix, h0ffman, dreamer, jester, lizardking, moby, and chromag.

nah

Oh yeah, I've even used larger samples than this. Some of my mods have gotten up over 3MB in size.
