A technical look at 2 cheap Amiga 8-bit samplers from MicroDeal - in comparison to an earlier FutureSound model. What was the included software like? Was it usable?! Plus technical issues and sound comparisons. This is part 1 of 3. (Later parts will look at the high quality offerings!)

    I hope you resume this series of videos! They are fantastic!
  • @telecrate
    This series will be the reference for explaining early 90s sampled computer sound technology.
  • YouTube's recommended videos feature has been spot on lately - was shown your other video about the Amiga samplers and trackers and loved it (instant sub of course) - not only that but damn your really can seemingly effortlessly knock out a banger regardless of the age of the tech Awesome subject, great channel tbh - thanks for your time in making these.

    I'm lovin' these series. You should complete that "cheesy" House track.

    Dude, this stuff is great. As a dude who made tracker music, just seeing the actual crap people had to do 'back then' just to be able to create samples and then turn that into music on old computers like the Amiga, really makes me respect my favorite musicians who did this crap a whole lot more. Keep this stuff going!
  • As primitive as amiga sampling may be, its still light years ahead of what pc's could do in the 80s.
  • Dude your latest 2 videos are off the scale interesting! I'm a pixel artist (I do a lot of it on an Amiga at the moment like a nomad thing) not a musician but I love music and this was so so interesting. Can't wait for the DSS8 episode :) thank you for all your effort in these videos.

    I didn’t realize how easy and economical it was to make sample based music back then. I remember struggling with a Protools digi 001 that never worked out for me. Now I see why people stuck to Amiga, which I really wanted, and Atari.
  • tbh if youre a modern dance music producer these videos are super enlightening on why it doesnt matter if you sample sounds and make your own tracks, the foundation of dance music is people playing samples as their instrument
  • I always appreciate the level of effort you take with these videos - delivered with extreme care and diligence to the small details. Kudos, and greetings from Massachusetts!
  • @atarig33k
    These have got to be the two best videos I have ever seen on YouTube. Can't wait for the next.
  • @ClayMann
    I had one of these as a kid and I loved it. Used it a lot with Octamed which for me was the only music software I ever learned how to use properly. I love all detail you go into here. I had no idea what was inside was so simple.
  • Dude you can never go too far this rabbit hole, thanks for putting the time in. Made my weekend!
  • @huskion
    Not only do these two videos have fantastic quality informative content and great production value, but an amazing soundtrack

    Fantastic video! It really brings back a lot of good memories. The Technosound was my first sampler. I remember having to mail order it from the UK (to Australia). I had to actually mail out a bank cheque to the UK and then wait MONTHS hoping something would show up in my postbox. It's amazing what we could do even with those crazy limitations we had. I still use some sampling techniques I learned from those days.
