Amiga Format Issue 12_1990 Tape Recording and Scans!

StoneOakvalley · 14 March 2009, 04:44

Hi Amiga fans,

I have been digging into old Amiga stuff and found the cover tape for this issue: http://amr.abime.net/issue_168 in my stash. Actually I gave it away to my cousin in 1997, only to steal it back from his stash 6months ago. heh.

I see that there is no scan or recordings of it online, so I took the effort to record and scan it for you at 44khz, 16bit with minor noise reduction done in Audition including normalize. Recording was done through a M-Audio 2496 card from my SONY TC-K370 player. The recording is pretty good. Expect some minor tape stereo difference...yeah 80's styleee

It can be downloaded from here:

What exactly is in it?
The scans at AMR don't show the tape contents!

StoneOakvalley · 14 March 2009, 19:20

The contents are the contents of the zip file.

I'm not sure I follow?

I think it would be the examples of a MIDI tutorial? There are separate parts of different riffs: drums, bass, piano,etc, then the music assembled.

They used a Yamaha SY77/TG77 synth/sound module for the sound. I have one, so the sound is very familiar.

EDIT: Yes the picture at AMR is a SY77

Okey, I thought the AMR was an effort to preserve everything regarding the magazines, but I realize now that none of the cover disks are available for download.

That may be an legal issue, if not, it seems like a half-effort to scan the magazines and preserve that but not the disks and that one tape.

For me AMR seems like a preservation of the magazine, but I may have misunderstood the logic behind the archive....thats just how I would have done it, preserve everything belonging to the magazines.

Does anybody still have a copy of this tape, as the link in the first post no longer works.

Kitty · 29 October 2012, 15:22

Can someone please post a new download link, thankyou

DH · 29 October 2012, 15:42

No problem, took a bit of obvious thinking to find out where it was going to be, just pleased I found it again, and thanks too

It's only taken 2.5 years

Without Kitty re-requesting it, I probably would of missed the thread.

Anyway, enjoy

I did a remake of that cassette some years back and forgot to post it here

And yes, the whole thing, cassette included, has been completely re-drawn

Also, AMR still haven't added the cover tape

Link is not working for me...

I only get timeouts

DH · 26 November 2017, 02:39

I have it somewhere Amiga68k, I'll hunt it out for you asap, but real life is getting in the way right now, so I may be a little while.

Just bump the thread in a week or two just to remind me, as hopefully then life will be a little easier

What is fun though is the combo reading the article and having the audio available:
