The original tracker workflow (on amiga) - a demonstration

I didn’t watch the whole video, but it’s always cool to have a look in the past. As stated in this thread I started on Amiga in 1991 with Soundtracker and also worked with Noisetracker and Protracker for years until 4 tracks weren’t enough anymore. Back then it was not about production quality, is was just about the ability to make something “big” out of something very limited, and of course about the fun. There were samples all the way, no instruments. With the Techno Sound Turbo cartridge I sampled my stuff, I also used to sample some of my patterns of a song and created a loop out of it, so that in the end I had “16 tracks” in Protracker, one loop of a sampled pattern in each track. Good times, but I think that I would have prefered Renoise back then, too. The combination of a classic tracker and the possibility of using VSTs is all you need to create good music. :slightly_smiling_face:
