Protracker Tutorial - Samples on Amiga

After 8 years I finished this excellent tutorial series. And now I finally understand how trackers work after 30 years since I was trying to track on the A500 😅 thank you very much!

64th upvote of this video is mine! 😎

Thanks. Look forward to more tutorials from you in the future.

Hi wasp amiga😃I am very greatful for your tutorials you made for Protracker🎹💕

Great video :) Hope you make more Protracker videos =)

i will learn it!

Excellent video! Thank you!

To transfer files on an actual Amiga 500, I use either ADF Opus (PC) or ADF Master (Mac), which then I create a new (blank) .adf file, and there I load on it my own .iff or .8svx sample files. Then, after loading up a bootable Protracker .adf on the Amiga first, I can switch over to the .adf sample disk I made by clicking on the module button and loading it by "floppy." However, I strongly recommend installing a Gotek mod on the Amiga, as USB is more convincing.

That workflow is to protracker directly but using a compatible tracker like milkytracker the process might be a bit different

thanks for the tutorial but as you said in the end : no amiga no point bothering with this

when you convert samples from audacity to iff, how come there's usually background hiss in the sample when loaded in protracker? is there a way to get rid of it completely? this is even after normalizing and sometimes even some compression. You can get away with it on some things, but things like bass and low synth bass etc, it's sometimes a problem.

Hello, is the same thing if I work with OpenMPT? How can I know what frequency should I use? Couldn't I simply convert a note in C3 / C5, and just keep it at 8287 Hz? I'm just new to this, that's why I don't understand many things. The only bad thing is that I don't have an Amiga, but I would like to make MOD music anyway. On the other hand, I found the ST 01 from the video description, and it looks awesome for my first modules. I guess by using these samples, I shouldn't worry about sampling frequency, rigbht? Cheers!

Hi. how do i find the file st-01 in tracktor on my pc. Like where it the directory.Just says can't find directory when i click onto load track or load module?

One of the most important things when working with samples, IMHO, is to change the pitch without modifying the speed (sample rate). I know Protracker cannot do this, but was there any other Amiga tracker with that feature? As a workaround, Audacity and other audio editors can do this, so, ideally you could generate a different sample for each note in your instrument. Would this workflow be recommended, or would it be a nightmare to compose songs with the pattern editor using per-note samples?

How to get the color sheme of pt2-clone darker like that? Thank you. edit. I think I found the answer. You need to edit the pt2_palette.c file before compiling. edit2. Ok, I found the real answer which is the pt_pal_editor that is included in the source files. It's a bit buggy though.

but,, How do I mak the jungles?

I really wish protracker on Amiga had a way of doing 0.5 steps on the fine tune. but I guess it's technically impossible to add this feature.

Fett👌

Quick question: when I do Mod2Wav it seems that the samples are all out of time? Do you happen to know why this is?

I would love to do what you suggested at 11:04, but there's just one problem: I don't have an Amiga and have never had one before, so I don't know much about Amiga computers, or how to use them. Edit: I have WinUAE and Noise/ProTracker .adf files on my computer.
