New user says hi!

I started in the amiga demo scene back in late 1989, making music for intros etc...i wasnt older than 11 years.

I was amazed the first time i saw soundtracker(a version from late 1988, think it was D.O.C`s version), and loaded up a rock song that was included on the disk(i wish i could find it, i want to listen to it again after all these years)

I stayed on the scene until late 1992, when the scene was beginning to decrease. My group "Deadline" split up, some joined Crusaders, others Cryptoburners(I dont remember 100% where they went)

After that i bought a midibox and a cheap synth for my a2000, started to experiment with octamed, bought another synth after that, and more later.

Got a pc in 1999 and installed cubase, almost got a record deal with some songs i made, but talk about bad luck, the record label went bankrupt :lol:

The following year, i started to replace the hardware with software synths, got hold of an early version of "buzz modular tracker"

Since then things really have started to roll :-)
Got a record deal in 2001, released 4 singles, and an album, 3 of those singles were also released on compilation cd`s in both Norway & Sweden.

And a funny story, in 2002, some friends of mine went on a vacation to Bali in asia, they called me from one of the nightclubs there and said: "Dude! theyre playing your single here! wtf! you havent released it here?!?"

Well thats the good side of mp3`s, ur music gets spread all over the world, so im both positive and negative about mp3`s
;-)

Now my nr.1 goal is to get my music released in germany/holland

You should give "Buzz" a try:

Its an excellent vsti tracker, it`s modular, which is quite retro enough for me :-)

You will like it, trust me, it brings back the fun of making music  :-)
And its got good midi support, so you can use your gear. :lol:

@Orgue

I like limitations actually, they make me more creative. I have to work around the limitations to get done what I want, it's kinda feeding me, if you know what I mean. (sounds hippy, I know )

I know exactly what you mean. I'm even worse, I'm still using Protracker;)

@Restore2003

You should give "Buzz" a try

I've tried it a bit. I bet it's very powerful, but i found it quite lacking in the ui department, not very intuitive at all. I also find it quite difficult to take the step-up from samples to softsynths. It's so much harder to control the results I think. Is there any really good tutorial on Buzz online?

@Orgue
I also looked at Renoise. If I were to leave the Amiga I also find this program to be the most probable route i would take. I'm also a bit curious about Buzz, but as i said to Restore, I did'nt find the interface easy enough to get into.

@mepmepmep:

If you download from the link above, thats the latest version, with html interactive manual, that means if you in a specific editing mode, and press "f1" you will get help for exactly what your actually doing.

and u`ll always have:

Ah, this topic is turning to audio topic then? :-D
I'll prefer Renoise too, Buzz is great but can be quite unstable with certain plugins. Renoise was and is "that" program for me. I don't use midi gear at all. All is done with Vsti's and sampled toy synths (Tyco Hot Keyz, modified casio and Rhythmic . I'll try to do electro tracks. I haven't released anything yet, as I think I still have lot to learn about music making, mixing and mastering. You can find my electro project Voimalaitos at:

@rebb_pds
Interesting electro stuff you've got there!

You can find some of my older stuff here. It's the modules, the mp3's are not mine. It's 8bit/4channels stuff done with Protracker...

I'm really thinking about moving to Renoise or Buzz, but have'nt gotten around to it yet so its really interesting to here what other musicians are using here:)

Sounds good to me I wouldn't mind hearing more of your stuff. You have nice influences, I love Op:l {bleep}s! Finland has a good scene for this stuff... Lot's of good music coming from the north: Polytron, 8bit rockers / bangkok impact, Imatran Voima... Do you know Phinnweb?

[rebb_pds]

Orgue: Yes, I know Phinnweb. We have quite a good electro scene here. Your material is absolutely stunning and you have done gigs with Legowelt :-o  Legowelt is absolutely great! I really got to improve my stuff then :lol:

mepmepmep: Nice protracking! Renoise or Buzz is a good choise, as you have protracker background. Just download both and test.

[Orgue]

yeah I work often with him, we did some releases together and we tour a lot together. We've even been to Finland two or three times. One time we played with Opel {bleep}s they where great, too bad they had to split up.
Your music is good, don't worry. I'd like to hear more when you have some, it's always nice to listen to what other people make.

Orgue:
This is getting bit OT then Sended you email.
