Amiga Forever&Protracker bad sound
Hi,
When I run the ADF of Protracker and play a module the sound is quite messy. It doesnt get played properly and it seems like distortion every now and then. I think it has to do with how Amiga Forever/WinUAE is setup. Any ideas? Thank you. |

I know TCD has helped you lately, but I must admit I have not come across this problem mate! Are you playing old Protracker mods or more newer ones + it may of been a bad rip too, and this is usually the main cause for sound distortion or sound mismatches within protracker. Maybe try and get the same module from somewhere else to test it.

Can you enable 'On-screen LEDs' on the 'Miscellaneous' window and tell us what the leftmost led shows (it should flicker around +/- 10 or 20)?

Old ones from beginning of 90s. All of them are buggy one way or another. They do get proper playback in Winamp. I downloaded a few ''fresh'' ones from Amiga Music Preservation and its the same bad results. Sometimes Protracker crashes. Samples remain unplayed or get mixed up with other samples.

I had the same this afternoon with Protracker 3.XX so two corrupted players seems dubious. Noisetracker V1.1 plays its own 8 modules correctly. |

Do you just want to edit some modules? You could try MilkyTracker or Fasttracker II with DosBox, which might be a better idea *waits for the first stone thrown at me*

@moriez
Have you tried using the original WinUAE A1200 setup, and ran it that way just to rule out the Amigaforever package. I have no problems whatsoever under WinUAE alone (A1200 setup), runs like a dream, best way to convert to MP3 too (in real time) @TCD But maybe you have a point there, Renoise is a cool editor too |

I just want to mess around with the old lovely protracker and could never get used to all those pc trackers and other software. Im too lazy too learn it. Well, guess what. Protracker V3.61 does work! Ill stick with that one for now I guess although it doesnt look quite as good as the one I want to use. Quote:
Oh, and one other things that bugs me. Everytime I run a game or load Protracker I have to set my preferences again in Amiga Forever. They are never saved. How can I tackle this? |

Use WinUAE and save your config You have the quickstart options, which are quite the same as you see them in Amiga Forever and you can adjust it as you like and then save it. It's not that hard (no month needed ) and you don't have to set up everything again.

Before I go to bed I was giving it another try and it paid off! The configuration in Quick start in Amiga Forever should be set to Amiga500 + A501 Expansion instead of the standard A1200 + 8MB fast ram. Now it works like a bleedin charm! |
