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.
As You can guess, using ZX48 as a synthesizer was the most challenging project in entire album.
Yupp, this one was _hard_.

Hehe, thanks mate.

> Is there a link to download the whole album or do I have to do it by individual tracks?
------------
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,
Y

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

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,

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

iLKke:
And that's what I've been told, exactly.
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.

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.

> and i never get around to doing something with amiga anyway
--------------
Hehe, You might try. It's pretty cool

Akira:
> I would love to try Digibooster. maybe a collab is in place
------------
Haha, why not. It's not too hard. Actually when You know OctaMED or ProTracker, then You know the DB already, more-less.

> 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.

> 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.
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.

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

Xylo: thx dude. 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.
And who knows, maybe next year I'll do something bigger for Atari STe. (For regular ST we already made some stuff).

Greetzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
