Hi thankyou that helped a lot

[mrmoonlight]

You could download Music Mods off Aminet, and use some from the songs there, I also think they have a sample section as well. If you Google Amiga Sound Samples, you should find heaps of sites. Plus you can see the tricks they do to make the songs, like fading, slowing and speeding up the songs, stretching the sample plus heaps more things. Hope that helps.

Hi thankyou i am most grateful for your help i will go google  
 
 
   Thanks again, you were right there are some brilliant samples out there,just found a few ,very pleased,and grateful,best wishes Brian

Hi i managed to download loads of adf files, and have been playing some greatest hits all in adf,and how the Amiga 1200 can play sounds in this qaulity is amazing, i used to use Sonar ,to do a lot of recording and i thought that was good ,and when you think that my Amiga 1200 has been in a suitcase up my friends loft for 15/20 years ,it must have been years ahead of its self ,so very pleased to have come across it ,funny really because i never had one years ago so you can imagine im real chuffed,best wishes Brian

Have a look at the Total Irrelevance disks as well, they were by the MED users group.

 
Hi thankyou and i will take a look, very grateful for your help

Hi i am very pleased i managed to load guitar,piano, drums, and base ,and play a bit of a tune, and the Amiga sounds really good ,i have the settings on fast ram, which is good,not sure how many tracks i can use , thankyou again

[mrmoonlight]

Great. Sounds like you are getting there. I just came into a load of 8bit samples from a friend who had a couple of CD collections, wish I could share it easy.

 Hi Matey,lucky you ,but i am begining to find more samples,and having loads of fun, so amazed at what my Amega 1200 can do ,i have the sound coming out of my creative decoder ddts-100 which can seperate the sound,or so they tell me,i have three speakers set up and another two that i am going to add shortly,and it is such a good sound ,and my friend who i had the Amiga off ,heard it and was stunned ,i did tell him he is not having it back lol,best wishes Brian

The number of tracks you can use simultaneously depends on how fast your CPU is. Of course, what you can do is create something using a lowish mixing rate and when it's ready, render it to disk at CD quality (or better).
 
A basic 14MHz 020 with fast ram should be enough to use 8 channels at ~22kHz 14-bit stereo quite comfortably in realtime.
 
Whatever you do, though, don't turn on smoothing until you want to render to disk. The interpolation used is pretty slow and applied to each channel individually. When I accidentally tried it on a 16-channel tune on my 040, I had to hold both mouse buttons for a while to stop the playback.

 
 Hi and thankyou for your help,i am very grateful,oh and i already turned smoothing on and yes i see what you mean lol ,i still have a lot to learn,but what brilliant fun the Amiga is , i seem to spend more time on my Amiga than i do my windows 7 pc ,and i am hoping to go on the net shortly with easynet and the Amiga,and Franko says he will help me connect a dvd drive ,what a nice chap he is ,as all the kind folk on this forum are,anyways best wishes Brian

I used to play around with music on the Amiga, never made any mods though.
I play around with samples a lot, so much so that I eventually sold a couple of Audio apps. They're both free now, you can get them here (scroll down the the Amiga section):

Be warned though, if you get into sample processing it can take up hours and hours and hours...
 
I've recently got back into music and oddly enough I was also playing around with samples this weekend for the first time in a very, very long time! Not on the Amiga though, I've been playing with a synth/sampler I got off ebay ...with 200 floppies of samples!
 
I'm also planning to start writing an app again but for the iPad this time, though it will be based in part on one of the Amiga apps.

 
 
  Hi it looks like you have had fun ,but it is exciting playing with music,all the years i have been recording and have never lost the thrill ,and now the Amiga has opened up even more adventures ,and you are right it can take up hours, it is nice to hear from you and i will take a look at your link now my very best wishes Brian:)
