Good morning, all!

Hello there,

I'm James - a long time Amiga (& C64) fan & emulator enthusiast.

Every Amiga game I own and have disk images of has a shortcut to a state image, so the game runs instantly. The filter is tuned to show the Amiga in all it's beauty behind a CRT type filter for nostalgia.

My son's favourite music if from Turrican 2 (Main title & Traps). Chris Huelsbeck rocks!

I started making music on the Amiga (here's a song someone found: [ Show youtube player ] )

I now make music using all sorts of stuff:

Welcome, Commodore lover

Welcome !

Hello Valvestat. Welcome. So are you still making music on your old hardware? Is Octomed your tool of choice?

Anubis · 08 February 2022, 13:29

Mornin' and welkcome!

That is cool track you got there. Nice work!

Brings 80's B movie or TV show vibe... (picture city lights in background and camera flying over)

Ooooh! Nice vibes in that tune in the video!

Thank you all

Hi, fxgogo - I use Cubase now, but would like to understand more about Renoise (tracker with vst support). I have OctaMED emulated, but hardly any samples / sounds to use, but it would make an interesting project to focus solely on OctaMED.

In about 1999, I had loads of samples! But in a rash move, binned all my software / personal disks (including pretty well looked after games, like Wizkid, Hunter, Pinball Dreams / Fantasies, Project X, Exile, Stealth Fighter, Elite / Elite Frontier etc.. etc.. ). Regrets....

Thank you Anubis and aNdy/AL/COS

- I cringe a little when I listen to it, now!

Wow. Nice tune indeed! I really hope to hear more of your Amiga music. Welcome

Thank you Dastardly & RWE

For anyone interested, here's a bunch of stuff I made using my old A1200 around 98 - 99, I think. Outboard reverb was applied & the odd effect was applied after the A1200, but it's all from OctaMED.

I'll shove this in the music section of the forum, too.

+1 on the mod. Nice tune. Glad you created another thread with a bunch of your old mods in, they should definately be picked up and archived for all to hear

Welcome.
