ByteGlideX archive

[CV]

Hey, i was just admiring MDK's Amigascene style avatar and i decided to search for my old Protracker handle from when I used to track MODS for Amiga demos and crackers.

CHECK IT OUT!

I found a bunch of mods archived by Equinox!!

wow. those tracks I done about 16 years ago. fuck.

My fave is bgx burns the floor but BHX Goes Mental is class too - i think thats my mum saying punch it

[ckpqerjwrpwp]

ooh nice, what you using to play mods in OSX Cris?

[CV]

MacAmp Lite X

they sound particularly authentic if you put the double gain and volume boost plugs on the playback!

[FiST]

is macAmp lite x freeware? or is there any free software for mac or pc that can run these files? would like to check them out, but have no idea about this kinda thing. or if anyone can be arsed converting them to mp3 that'd be cool.

[CV]

there's loads and loads of modplayers on PC and a few on OS X...

[Yer_Maw]

winamp will play most mods

as i often used to do it with the music from lotus esprit turbo challenge and rock out in my room, alone.

excellent tracks!
if you view the file info, it lists all the samples used and how many voices are being used...........:)

hehe, niceone!

[tsr_robban]

its funny how often those same samples were used in protracker...
theyre not the best mods i heard but cool to see you started out in protracker just like me.

[Yer_Maw]

haha great stuff.

these also play in vlc

[Loz]

vlc plays anything - fact

someone was telling me it'll even try playing a PDF file if you ask it too. Expect a load of noise, though.


I used to a bit of mod tracker music on the amiga, lost everything I did, but it was probably crap, so no great loss

Dude, I made THOUSANDS of MODS - they weren't the best of the extensive output. just what's survived, 17 years later. Thats good enough for me.

Post one of yours from 17 years ago lets have a battle.

[Loz]

nope - but the fact that I got archived , is alright - they are so crap! - but in the spirit of the age...

I like how some of them sample the games we were bootlegging back then - the laugh from Barbarian II , the lead synth from R-Type... then there's a load of home made breaks and crap brass leads and then some

also there's two covers.... Running by information society and 5-8-6 by New Order from the 2nd Peel Session EP...

I remember doing some pretty cool Acid stuff, but they were too big for inculsion on demos and spreads... vertigo, yes

[soulcheck]

Hehe, you are really ahead of your times ;)

When i did my mods some 7 years later than you did all i could come up with was goa.

no problem, there are lots of archive sites for this stuff out there. you should be able to find the stuff that was released, just google the names

[ckpqerjwrpwp]

the laugh from Barbarian II , the lead synth from R-Type...

I played R-Type recently, some great sounds in that, I love the intro at the start of level 1.

It's funny how computer game music and more specifically mod music played such a role in techno but its generally just a footnote in the any 'official' history of the form... maybe the mod scene etc was more of a European thing?.. maybe not as sexy or photogenic as the detroit or chicago scenes..

[don___quixote]

^^i know thats where i got my first taste of music production - never thought of it that way before, though i imagine your right...

[Loz]

for you computer geeks out there, Deus Ex and Unreal Tournament (the first one) feature some fantastic mod tracker music.
