Title: How do I convert my Amiga Modules to mp3 or wav?
Post by: Plus4 on August 20, 2004, 04:00:55 PM

I use deliplayer on my PC to play all my fave old amiga modules (Turrican II soundtrack & firefox + tip etc.) but I wanna convert these to MP3/WAV or simialar so I can burn these to CD.  Can anyone offer some advice or simple instructions?

Thanks in advance!

I use DeliTracker (http://ftp.unina.it/pub/aminet/mus/play/DeliTracker232.lha) for this kind of stuff on the Amiga, but it was possible with some tracker on the PC. I have mod CD but it was burned 6 years ago (on PC), so I don't have much memories about what software I used then.

The simplest way is to buy the PC version of OctaMED and load them into that, that can output them as wav/mp3 or whatever other codec you have installed.

Secondspin (http://www.helsinki.fi/~lakahone/amiga/secondspin/) might be what your looking for, if your gonna use an Amiga that is. Great program.

SecondSpin is a good option (and fast!) but the way i always converted my mods was thru DigiBoosterPro. This way i could edit the mods a bit. A bit of panning to create some "real" stereo mods. Just render it as AIFF/WAV, load it in SecondSpin and convert it as Mp3.
To make it sound a bit more realistic and professional: Load the AIFF/WAV in the nifty program "Cathedral" and add a small itsy-bitsy reverb. This'll sound great!!!
 HAve phun!

Winamp has pretty good MOD support, and a wave-out function.  All my mod/xm files work great, no weird compatibility issues.  I think it is using the mikmod library, but I'm at work and can't remember.  Any Amiga 4/8 channel mod's will work fine, tho I've seen playback issues with some of the newer mod formats (like Impulse Tracker).

uade (http://uade.ton.tut.fi/) big:modules/mod.KnullaKuk -outpipe 1 | lame (http://lame.sourceforge.net/) -h -r IN: t:KnullaKuk.mp3

Uade has pretty much perfect playback, as it emulates original amiga processor + audio hw with cycle precision. Output is 16bit stereo, which is piped to stdout and further encoded with lame.

ModPlug (http://www.modplug.com/modplug/) generates excellent output, but I don't think it supports TFMX.

Uade (http://uade.ton.tut.fi/) supports a lot of moduleformats (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_Amiga_Delitracker_Emulator), including TFMX 1.x, TFMX 7V and TFMX Pro.

All playroutines are emulated in cycle exact Amiga environment, so the output is pretty much as good as it can get.
