A quick demonstration of Protracker for the Amiga. Here I'm demoing tracks from the "A for Amiga" EP, showing how they are written and comparing raw Amiga playback to a fully mixed and mastered version of the same material.

    I can't even do this in Ableton. You are a master.

    You got me missing my Amigas now. I used to use one of those software packages, I don't recall which, but they were fun and easy to use. The Amiga has amazing sound, outclassing other computers in it's day.

    WOW!  Thanks for showing the side-by-side comparison @ 8:10!  This is how I personally would like my stuff to sound like; I'm astounded how big of a sound you were able to achieve with just four tracks, at that.
  • It's pretty sick. And the way those trackers sample is just so iconic, sonically speaking. Props to you!

    Man... I seriously think this is stellar !...
  • i still have an A500, DSS8+ (8bit stereo parrallel port digitiser), cd32 with SX-1expansion, whole heap of disks with samples and MODs - used to be fun messing round in Protracker (still have the coverdisk it came on somewhere) - there was OctalMed as well (8 track seq.). My brother and his mates made a remix of the Mission Impossible theme back like 30 years ago, on two, synched (press go at same time kinda thing) C64's, for a total 8 ind tracks - sounded awesome but has dissappered foreva, sadly. _ AMIGA FOR EVER _

    Thank you for this gem. I have an Amiga 2000 + PAR card ,I used it as a video montage and 3D (Imagine+Lightwave) gear. but I made some tracks with Protraker in my spare time . Unfortunately the floppy disks is damaged thru times and not readable. I'm happy that I found Sunvox tracker for PC MAC IPhone..... Also Renoise is another tracker for PC and Mac but not on Phones and Tablets. Viva 1, 4, 8 bit.
  • @Psylicium
    Nice video :) Your samples sound so crisp compared to mine - do you sample directly on the Amiga, or process them on PC?
  • @CrisBlyth
    Still watching.. @8.27.. simply great !!!!...
  • @lainet
    5:17 Yes you can, there are free effect columns in both channels 1 and 4 ;)
  • @DJArvy
