The adlib music revolution. (Page 2 of 2)

Just wanted to throw out there that if you're OK with a desktop, you might not need a super-old machine. Just something with PCI ports for e.g. an SB Live....and FreeDOS. http://www.freedos.org/

I have been exploring this strange underbelly of 21st century DOS since Saturday, when I got AdlibTracker 2 AND Impulse Tracker (albeit in 8 bit mode) working on my 500mHz VAIO. I also got it running on another, newer (~2001) desktop, but there's no audio because I didn't get a chance to try out the AudioPCI drivers on it yet.

Yep, that was quality. Actually have it queued up to play on my PSP (I'm at work) shortly

EDIT: You know what, you just reminded me that last time I tried to play it on the PSP it crashed Game Music Gear. lol. So I had better take it off there and listen at home some other time instead.

After wasting pretty much all of the last few days' free time on this, I got AdlibTracker to output very poorly to the SBlive. Not as in, at a lower sampling rate, but like only a couple of notes were playing. It seems the emulation is somehow incompatible with AT2.

Being some kind of nerd masochist, I am going to spend even more time trying to get IT to work because I'm in love with the idea of having a DOS "DAW".

I think it was a play on the YM chip series, and the fact that the current A.D. year is 2010.
(I just got it now...)

OPL3 is niceeee!

i use a old toshiba lappy, with RAD tracker ( the hacked version which allows you to use all the waveforms).

and AT2 also, which i found a little odd to use. I use it like a live instrument playing on the keyboard.

cheers FM-fuckers!

hey, ... Reality Adlib tracker is more simple and friendly IMO. It's more limited but is really really great to get the hang of opl goodness.

EDIT:And my toshiba portege 620CT fails with ADT2
