Lotus Turbo Challenge 2 music - high quality mp3

lesta_smsc · 19 February 2015, 00:49

Dear all,

I already have a copy of this and I'm not sure of the source but I realised that although it sounds great in the car, there are a few missing notes in some areas. I know selecting reverb settings etc normally gives a different output.

Does anyone have some recommendations in how I can get a true mod to mp3 conversion so the music sounds as it would on the Amiga without the necessities of selecting various options?

Ideally would like to know how to create them but happy if someone can supply a high bit rate mp3 of this tune! Great driving music in the sun!

Kind regards,
Lesta_SMSC

1. Try Digiboosters with AHI file output.
2. Check http://www.amigaremix.com - you may find here a lot of remixes of this (and other) famous Amiga tune.

Wow thanks for this! Initially I thought it was 22MB file for just the bootup sound! lol I've just had a listen to the bootup and it sounds great on laptop - so far, no missing instruments but it will sound better with the bass in the car. Will transfer to car and see how it compares to the one I had originally.

Is there an equivalent to UADE for Windows?

I did not find any. I am using uade123 in virtual machine. It should sound exact like on Amiga. It emulates MC68000 CPU with deli/eagleplayer replayers.
I just lowered the stereo separation a bit, so it sounds good in headphones too.

Perfect. Thank you. I wonder if Eagle player has an mp3/wav extraction facility?

What about Deliplayer for PC?

BigFan · 20 February 2015, 16:48

I would recommend XMplay.

Left click in main window to open "Options and stuff", click on "Mod" in left tree and play with interpolation, ramping and surround to your taste.
It is a fantastic sound using my headphones.

Plays whitacker and tfmx too. Turrican2 in stereo with enhanced bass and surround, makes me gonna say "aaaahhh......

Edit: Xmplay filters files in "Open..." dialog, select all from drop-down list.
Tfmx files have to use a special naming: MDAT.#? and SMPL.#? as prefix, not as suffix. (#? ami style joker for same base file name)
Enjoy!

I'm sure this was the one in which I had to apply different settings to get MOD to sound right. Best option would be direct extraction which I believe UADE does without need for much setting tweak?

I am using uade123 like this:

uade123 -p 0.4 -s 1 -f output.wav mod.input

-p sets panning. 0 - full stereo, 1 - mono, 2 - inverse stereo
-s sets subsong to 1
-f output file
mod.input input file

It automatically stops on song end.

Some songs don't have end, they are looping.
Then i use it like this:

uade123 -p 0.4 -n -t 600 -w 600 -s 1 -f output.wav mod.input

-n ignore song end
-t sets song timeout. 600 for 10mins
-w sets subsong timeout. 600 for 10mins

Then i edit the wav in audacity.

I'm not sure if new BZRPLAYER has got output option?

Try ModPlug Player from http://www.modplug.com/ old, but can convert modules and it's for Windows.

By default Deliplayer sounds like an Amiga as it emulates the Amiga sound filter stages. Most other Mod players sound "too good".

I think UADE has similar filters but may be off by default

What settings are you using and which version? Are you using Deliplayer on Amiga or Windows?

alexh · 22 February 2015, 13:15

Default settings.
v2.50 Pro.
Deliplayer is for Windows only.

I'll give it another try. Thank you.

Too good? I find they sound terrible, as they usually have interpolation enabled by default.

UADE is so good that it's worth switching to Linux or BSD just so you can run it. It's an amazing piece of software.
