So I finally got around to having a bash with Soundtracker Pro 2 on my new/old Amiga 500. It’s such an logical tool with a great work flow.  I can’t wait ot do more with it. I’ve worked on my first 2 bar demo and I like it. While capturing the audio I accidentally bumped the machine and it glitched out, as you’ll hear in the below audio.

Enjoy 😀

Soundtracker Pro on my new/old Amiga 500

For the past few years I’ve been trying to relive my childhood computing days. So you can understand my excitement when an Amiga 500 came up for sale on TradeMe. 6 months later after trying to this vintage PC working with a modern screen I’m finally there. One thing I never got to do when I was younger was make tunes on this rugged machine. After some hunting around on the web I found a lovely chap selling old Amiga magazine cover discs and I was lucky enough to get the one you see in this image. Thrilled! I’ll keep you posted on any rad tunes I make. I’m thinking, house ;D

Many thanks for Rob at Gecko Computing and TheAtticman for helping me relive my childhood.

The sight and sounds of Victoria Park in Christchurch early on a Summers morning.

Victoria Park, Christchurch. 8:20am. Tuesday, 3rd February 2015.

I’ve been wanting to do more sound recordings of Christchurch in the mornings when I meditate. This morning I was hoping to get the juxtaposition between the sound of the insects and the the demolition in the background but the microphone on my phone seems to be quite directional. There’s always tomorrow.
