Yeah, 2020 is degradation :(

@@user-on7ed4bc5z Don't worry, I'm sure we can do worse. We just have to try harder. That came out wrong. I mean we can turn it around for the better.

💯

Nope...it was the Seventies..., what folloed picked up some left-over momentum. But, you may be to young to have lived the Seventies 😉😊

niice

damn sick

hey thank openmpt because vlc kind of pitch shifts it

Nice work. That's one of my favorites from this mix, that's why it's at the end.

@@deleteyourcomputer Thank you 😄 I made around 150 songs in FastTracker2 during the late 90s. I am planning on releasing everything here on youtube when I find the time. I will let you know. 😀

Lol same

I am also here because of Ahoy

Also was recommended from Ahoy's video. Kinda nice to see a track from my old buddy RS3 in here.

Same lol

yep me too

That seems like good fun =)

LOL, had two floppies with MOD and S3M modules at 1993. And initially listened them through PC speaker. Cool times.

I would love to hear it

@@manuelitoviteh Oh that was like in the late 90s, I don't have those files or floppy anymore, unfortunately.

@@MageThief sad to hear. I lose music maked with impulse tracker 2.14 and Modplug tracker morre than once. My floppies gone bad, and My hard disk die (some I have in a cassetter tape or a audio cd) but I lose a hold "record/album" and music maked for a threater play, hahaha. also another hardisk and 2 memory cards from playstation with music maked with MTV Music Generator, some days ago I recover with a memory card usb reader 2 other memory card with music maded in Playstation, so I am happy, some I have on cassette tapes.

Same for everything. Especially the sentence before the last one, every videos I see from the past feels like another dimension, really fascinating, world was deeply the same but so much different at the same time.

Born in 2000 and absolutely feeling the same. Sometimes wish I could be a kid in the 90s for some time :)

@@CastaneaMa Yeah, would be nice to see what life was like first hand. I've been debating whether or not I should try messing with some hardware from that time. I have a 3DFX Voodoo3 as a shelf piece, but after watching Ahoy's documentary on the Amiga, I've been considering purchasing one for myself. The later Amigas were very popular in the UK, so they're in abundance.

I was born in '96 so I kinda got to know DOS and early Windows apps, but the way developers managed to squeeze the most out of the hardware even with the limited technical capabilities back then is nothing short of impressive

Same here, born May 1st 2002. I enjoy using linux because of the aesthetic of using a terminal for pretty much everything. Like @Felix Kruger, I wish I was in the 90s, where I could experience this first hand.

Didn't even know. This was just the underground 90s to me.

@@deleteyourcomputer Gotta say I really quickly in these few days have become a big-time fan of 90s tracker music.

Same for me, I didn't even knew that this was called Tracker Music back then.

I used to call this style of music techno when I was a kid, I think because the back cover blurbs from the game Tempest 2000 for Mac called it that.

Truth is, if a game had a release for Amiga computers back then, or devs related to the Amiga demoscene then that game would have tracker music.

all years someone is born.

Pretty much the peak of the western world

Everything's been in decline since

@@Komodo1312 absolutely true

@@MasDouc true

Especially 8 bit ones! Far too often people rely on inaccurate piano roll programs, famitracker or bust is what I say!

Check out the OST for Ion Fury, its fucking incredible

@@graysonsolis it sucks

I made music for a modern mobile game using Renoise tracker some years ago.

I mean Roblox used trackers until 2019, but it was only 2 songs and both of them were stolen without permission, and one of them had some weird tempo properties.

I'm in my late 30s now (where did time go!) and was around 14 years old in 1999. That said, I think creativity is still out there, just far far far more accessible now.

How did that work?

Thrash?

I remember having screamtracker 3!!

hw synthetizers was (and still are) expensive. High-quality recording equipment was expensive too. Many 'producers' those days sampled various synthetizers and used them in their songs. And many (maybe much more) producers (including me) used that samples made by someone else in their own songs :D. It was something like "warez community for samples".

@@dusanmsk is there a community or forum where i search for samples for these trackers??

@@JJ-vp3bd dunno, it's 25 years I am out. Most samples I used these days were stealed from someone else's module.

​@@dusanmsk I did some tracking (very shitty since I was a kid and sucked at music), and yeah, I would just rip off samples out of people's songs, along with some WAV files I found on the web. But I could tell that better producers than me were taking samples from synthesizers/keyboards/drum machines. With clever use of loop points in the tracker, you could make short samples loop seamlessly, and careful effect programming (vibrato, etc) could produce a lot of timbral variation from just a tiny snippet of recorded audio. It's an art form that rewards creativity and obsessive programming.

@@dusanmsk Daaaaamn, I didn't hear about warez many years ago. Thank you to bring me back those memories :)

@@analogavcz maybe try looking on modland instead, it has way more stuff from what I can tell

If you want to find more like this, look for german hard trance years 1994 - 1999

The demo scene might die with us listeners.

I'm just happy to hear that someone else knows about Gronda Gronda.

@@d3j4v00 I personally feel that a lot of his catalogue isn't that good, but Rockin', Cream98 and Spacey are awesome :D

I personally didn't like anything else on this video almost, but Spacey is fantastic to me

I have since been listening to a lot more of his catalogue and I can say that he's definitely in my top 3 trackers now :D

i had Startrekker on the Amiga, was too young to make anything but used to load game music and just watch the notes fly past.

I was thinking exactly that!

ага

Yeah, it's my favorite song)

It's the other way. You don't want to believe that all that commercialized dance music from the music TVs and radio stations between 1995 and 1999 were made just like this. :)

OpenMPT is the best today. It can read everything, and it is free.

I'm having UT 99 Assault custom map flashbacks... wow great stuff

GuitarSlinger2112 Anti-plastia, wormhole dreams, tremor bass, atunecination, double galaxy, infinite eye, planet entropy

@@popocatepetl4169 You know it!

Same! Timestamp for anyone scrolling by: 1:01:56

oh i would have added it to a playlist but i see you took that option off :/

I have Chrono Trigger - Far and Away and Bass & Drums by MOA, think I got them in 1999 from mp3.com. They list the tracks there but I can't seem to download the songs. I could perhaps upload them.

oh cool. I am searching for didgeridoo synthesizer thigns on yt. trance nowdays seems to be produced with only strings and they forgot didge sounds!

Did you download the tracker modules themselves or their renders?

Audio: I downloaded the original tracker files in 1999 and recently rendered with Winamp. Video: just a few images from the web.

I also heard 8-bit No Good played on computer market Mitino In Moscow, Russia in the 90's

that's what I thought as well lmao... see ya in the movie itself in 20 years

Actually it was like OMG, I never seen anything like this. Second scereening next day. Probably same as seeing OG Star Wars in '70. I thought then it was the best film ever, esp. for SF nerd. :) And then came disappointment with each next. Now I see it wasn't that great and the sequels weren't that bad :)

Best track in this mix

from what I can tell it's mostly samples of other synths that are loaded in and sequenced using the tracker, most atari's and amiga's from the 80s and early 90s didn't have high enough fidelity to produce synth sounds this clear afaik... iow anything that sounds less chiptune and more professional probably came from a sample from a hardware synth. what I would like to know is how those complex evolving acid sounds or leads are done? if that is using a sample then it's using some clever sequencing and filter programming!

@@kcat80 do you mean how it was possible to simulate cutoff or acid/resonance in tracker? Mostly it was long sample that was sampled from "fully open" to "fully closed" cutoff sound and then "sample offset" effect was used, so sample started to play from beginning (open cutoff) or from later position (closed cutoff).

@@dusanmsk the IT format eventually introduced the Lowpass Filter, but I think it was available on the XM format too, however, the first track has acid samples that seem more like short notes, this could have been a bunch of different samples, from the same synth patch, recorded at different filter settings (this was actually done in a few tracks from Unreal Tournament, and a lot of other non UT related track), but all this is a wild guess, I'd need the module to give a definitive answer

@@Shakeno XM never did, but you're correct about IT having filter support. But yeah, prior to that, filter effects were typically done by either cycling between different samples or changing the starting offset on a single long filter-sweep sample. Tracker musicians could get pretty creative when it came to doing awesome stuff within tight limitations. Check out this S3M tune by Purple Motion that uses only 2 channels: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/o4aWooyPqW9qmWQ.html

@@Shakeno Yeah, I remember how WOW was I when I started to learn impulse tracker and found that 'the must have effect' (cutoff) is implemented there. Golden times, plenty of time, unbelievable how creative times that was those days. Now we have near-unlimited daws with near-unlimited synths and near-unlimited effects and I can't get that productivity back anymore ...

Its always nice to see someone younger appreciate the hardware we had growing up and the things we did to push them to the limits :)

I was born in 2000 too.

@@getgle Yeah, there are many of us. Children born in '99 always thought of themselves as 'much older' and I was always considered sooo young, because I was born in a new millenium...xd Even though they were only several months older than me. :D

Now imagine that computer music started long ago before this tracker modules. I started on Didaktik Kompakt (czechoslovak clone of ZX spectrum) with AY-38912 module, which was 3(!) channel analog synth. Computer has 48 kB (!) of memory and ~ 4 MHz CPU. And still was able to track sampled(!) music on it (ok, 4bit samples, but ...). Now look on your fridge/microwave/washing mashine - their cpu's are much much faster than that. Later I moved on PC platform ('95 Fast tracker, '97 Impulse tracker). No internet, plenty of free time, but still limited on resources (75 Mhz, 16 MB ram), limited access to music (only regular radio shows playing mainstream, or copying audio tapes between friends). That was the great times and many great songs was born that times - but was forgotten in "underground". Those times will never come back, now near everybody has internet access, music is everywhere, guess song name and boooom you shold hear it in millisecond. Yes - those times were a childhood for most of us and that should be the main reason of so many emotions, but still - many modules of that times was great and gives us good filings until today.

now that you've pointed that out, ive just realized how spotty the mixing on some old mod music was
