Sounds Of The Amiga Rave Vol.1 (PT-1210 Amiga DJ set)
NEW! PART 2 HERE:
Welcome to my second Amiga DJ video, focusing on the wider spectrum of the rave sound old and new.
Using Amiga computers from the 90s and self-developed software, I’ll take you on a journey among the sounds that were hitting the 90s raves back when the Amiga was a viable and key bit of gear for many of those wanting to get into music-making on a budget. You’ll hear rare edits and remixes alongside accurate retracks and original material created by musicians using this limited hardware.
The nerd sheet:
2x Amiga 600 running PT-1210 v1.1 (DJ decks)
1x Amiga 1200 running XSD (sample launching)
1x mixer, two hands, 100% Amiga tunes
Remember: about 3 or 4 seconds sample time per sample, and only 31 of those allowed in the system at one time (Protracker restrictions). These machines run at anything between 7 and 20 Mhz, a mere percentage of the computing power in your phone.
Blooper: watch a partial admin reveal when I frantically try to make the keyboard work again by opening the Amiga up. True pros never have their Amiga case bolted on 😆
