Yupp, I like this program very much, it looks very stylish and is not too hard in usage. Has its disadvantages, true, but somehow I prefer it over the maxYMizer.

OK, thx again guyz and - if anybody would be interested - I found raw sources of 2 songs (AMIGA 500 and ZX Spectrum 48K) -

(Do NOT press "Click here to start download.." but instead press this: "Click here to start download from sendspace"!!!)
It might give You an idea what was going on while making the album and also - how interesting is to use ancient synths/samplers like our humble comps/consoles are - as professional instruments, hehe. smile
As You can guess, using ZX48 as a synthesizer was the most challenging project in entire album.
Yupp, this one was _hard_.

I have just come out of the amiga into 2 mono channels on my mixer and centred the panning there.

Yupp, that's what I do. I mean I don't do mono, but leave the stereo closer to the centre, or changing it on CoolEDIT like 60-40/40-60 in the "channel mixer" section. It does the trick very well.

PS: Btw, if You'd switching into more than 4ch (up to 8 channels) the prog will ask ya "halve samples?" - at least the v.4 will do. They You have to press "Y" because it can't software-mix the music without it and makes total nooooooooooise. I dunno if there are any *.med files on da Net, to use as a guide - if not, then let me know; I'd send You something. OctaMED wasn't popular but still it was the best program for A500/A600.

Hehe, thanks mate. smile

Sadly the server is not mine, so I have to be careful with size of uploading. Hence I wasn't able to upload it twice (separate songs + one ZIP). You know - if I romp too much, then they will kick me out of the server.


> God, I want an Amiga.

A nice piece of hardware. For full 8 channels You'd have to get A1200.
They say the DigiBooster works also on A600 but with 6 channels max.

Best wishes,

Ah, I completely forgot.
The A1200 album is ready for a few days.
Enjoy: http://yerzmyey.i-demo.pl/

Hehe, I dunno if it's good or bad as I don't know this idiom. wink

Anywayz. The album is ready in the music part, 32 min. long.
Have to make some cover-art and wait a bit for some friends to finish our businesses.
Anyway, the A1200 set of new 8ch songs should be out in a month or so.

Greetzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz,

OK, I have 5 songs now.
One of them - http://yerzmyey.i-demo.pl/Yerzmyey-Into_aphelium.mp3
Nice work, when one has a sampler, heheheh.
I intend to make at least 7 to get some reasonable set of songs.
And I have to say that DigiBooster is a really cool prog.
Greetz,

I like the machine too. It was my first 16-bit computer after ZX Spectrum's 8bit era; I bought it in 1994. smile
But the normal PC came and somehow I have never managed to get A1200 then.
So I finally got it now. wink better now than never, haha. wink




iLKke:
And that's what I've been told, exactly. smile
For full 8ch I use Amiga 1200 with 10Mb of RAM and hardddisk. CPU is standard but that;s what DigiBooster 1.7 has been written for, so it works nice (and takes only about 47% of CPU time).
I even didn't try pro because people said it's actually pointless on a standard 1200. wink


For now I made only 2 A1200 songs as I'm pretty busy with AY music (2 for games, 1 for a demo).
But I will get back to Amiga tomorrow probably.

Meanwhile - this is the first song I have ever made on 1200:

Supposedly - more to come. wink

> Later versions of DigiBooster and MED Soundstudio have AHI support for hardware mixing in 14-bit resolution, but at least MC68030/50 MHz and FastRAM is really recommended.
--------------------
And that version would be nice indeed, squeezing Paula to max (plus rendering music to file, as I've been told), but those new CPU cards are extremely expensive, so I don't even thing about it now, hehheh.

Hehe, You might try. It's pretty cool wink



Akira:

Haha, why not. wink It's not too hard. Actually when You know OctaMED or ProTracker, then You know the DB already, more-less. wink


> Does your version use AHI?
---------
I admit I even don't know what's that.
Until now, since 1994 I was only putting a diskette into A500 - and it was working. wink


> That would explain the volume control. But I am pretty sure there are otehr trackers that support volume control on all 8 channels, like OctaMED or Soundtrekker, even on an A500.
---------------------------
Erm.. I don't know if I get it - DB has all volumes on all channels. There is no problem without it.

As for the OctaMED - what version do You use? (And on what machine?)
I have something like 4.0 version? The one with an alien playin' synthesizers. wink
This version has only 4 volumes. When I change volume in channel 1, the same happens on channel 5. Therefore it's actually easier to not to use volumes at all (and only 'simulate' them using louder and silent samples).

Greetzzz.

> Congratulations, it was my first Amiga and i want it too, ideally with Blizzard 1230/50 Mhz, lots of RAM, CF card. I composed on it soundtracks for games The Strangers (beat em up) and Napalm (realtime strategy), many demos, musics for disk magazines. I remember that one my friend made for me sampler Ramikola, which was capable to sample up to 56 kHz in mono and one MIDI interface in serial port, great smile
-------------
Yupp, I have a sampler too. smile But from the old times. wink And it still works! wink
Well, 50Mhz CPU would be better for quality of sound. wink (Software mixing). I could use then the DigiBooster 3. But it's faaaar too expensive - and wouldn't be so oldschool. wink

And of course I there's no reason to abandon AY. wink Actually I already sent some song for the SillyVenture 2012 party. http://sillyventure.eu/

Akira: hahah, it took some time, didn't it? wink
Well, A500 can play 8ch too but actually without volume commands (a pity).
So i _had_ to check out the 1200 finally. wink


Xylo: thx dude. smile maybe I will be able to compile with it some bigger Amiga-related set of songs. I have 2 already, actually.


Basspuddle: Well, the truth is, I also was using mostly emulators for several years (of course recordings have been taken from real hardware every time).
Only with Atari Falcon 030 songs I was using the real machine for making music.
But while work on "ZX81" album I found something I lost for many years - a pleasure of working with real ancient hardware. An incredible thing. I totally forgot it. So now - when I bought the A1200 - I don't want WinUAE at all. wink
And who knows, maybe next year I'll do something bigger for Atari STe. wink (For regular ST we already made some stuff).

Ant1, Heosphoros, Kommisar, Basspuddle, thx guys. Well, I have various machines and I still make mainly the AY chiptunes, so worry not. wink As for the program, it is a Polish piece of software - DigiBooster 1.7 (higher versions are for higher CPUs). There are no other programs with independent volume for every channel (of 8) that support a standard CPU (Motorola 020, 14Mhz). One day I will also test the AHX-Tracker (4ch but for chiptunes). smile

Hehehe, I had to look for a cool model (as original as possible) for quite a long time but.......
YESSSSS, I have got it finally! wink

Very good condition, standard 020 CPU, some harddisk and 10Mb of RAM.
No acceleration cards, no sound-cards. wink
Classic. Yeah.

That's what I didn't have in my collection, to the moment. smile

And yesssss - it worx! wink

Hi!

All infos are here: http://chipmusic.org/forums/topic/6668/ … tion-ayym/
You'd have to get ZXpand (32Kb RAM and SD-cards' reading/writing) + MrX for YM2149 sound.

If You want to have 6 channels, then You'd also have to get ZXpand-AY. Then the author of MrX (Sascha2000, he's German) can send You (probably with some price) a GAL chip for MrX - when You replace the GAL with the new one - You have 6 channels instead of 3, when You connect entire combo into Timex1000.

It looks like this:

The black interface is ZXpand with ZXpand-AY.
The green one - is MrX.

Sound-sources are separate but on the other hand it's not so bad because then You can mix them better additionally, if required.
If it's enough for You to use classic 3 channels (one ym2149) then it's enough to get ZXpand with ZXpand-AY.

In my opinion of ancient machines' admirer - pure fun. wink

ZX81: http://yerzmyey.i-demo.pl/zx81/ZX81_files.zip
and
ZX Spectrum http://yerzmyey.i-demo.pl/zx81/ZX_Spectrum_files.zip
