Looks like we have something in common Sky.

Long Live the Commodore Amiga!

My A600 is so dead. My dead A500+ came back to life. But
it's facking huge.

Ja mein brother! C= forever!

Goddamn me for selling my good old 1200, no matter how I
needed the money! The only good thing is there are ppl who
care and make emulators.

So... Right now I'm playing Flashback on WinUAE :)

My friend Kenny has more than 100 MB of SNES ROMs. Lousy
motherfucker, he'd better get me some ADF diskimages :)

I used to make ADF images from my amiga to my PC, it was a
pain in the cunt because I was using 720kb disks and all the
image wouldn't fit on one of those. I had to do it in two
bits and join them on my PC.

I want a new A600 so I can put a 1GB HD in and get something
going there

I've got an A500. I lost patience with it as it's all so
slow. I should get a HD for it...

*grins* I think it's fine. You can actually here the
difference in the file system by the way it loads. My drive
gave a loud buzz and my friend (PC user) thought it was
chewing the disk up. I love the way it purrs. }:>

I suddenly feel compelled to type 'amiga' into ebay.co.uk
but I know it will be a huge mistake.

Tell me about it- I nearly caved and bankrupted myself when
I saw a big deal with a couple of external floppy drives and
a 1gb hd loaded with games and apps :)

You can get all kinda of rare goodies too so if you don't
buy something tropical that you see you may never be able to
buy it again. Shocking.

Do you remember those sweets called 'Shockers'? 5 black
balls of chewing gum but one was filled with salt and
sherbet. I need more coffee.

I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna look on ebay. That fucking thing
is dangerous. Even more now that I have PayPal for my Switch
card.

I'm getting better, but having about £150 a month less due

It's the sound damping that is the big plus for me, no more
fan noise over the music I play/make. What sound card you

the damn thing is noisy as hell, and my microphone is fucked
up as well... and every time i record something theres a DC
current ofsett of about 10%...

plus the fans in my pc make some noise as well and sometimes
theres no good grounding so you hear 50hz background noise
all the time

Yepski. I've been working on a new track- sounds a bit like
xtrmntr era Primal Scream. Not particularly original, but a
little more commercial and hence sellable :)

I'd love to be able to make just enough money DJing, etc. to
pay for my records and music hardware...

Oh and I want a new laptop too... I sooo want a portable
means of making music (other than scoring monophonic midi on
my phone then ULing it to the pc!)

When you have your new stuff up let me hear please dude. I
need a laptop for all kinds of reasons, making music would
be a plus but I plan on using my new setup for that. :>

Sky, That was cruel, I'm trying to forget I clicked those
links. }:>

Jaroen, I have given up with Microphones, I'm using a one I
got for £1 for now and forever. I'm sick of the things. }:>

Will do! I should ask Flea if it's okay with him to UL one
of my remixes of his track. That's my latest finished thing
and I like that a lot.

I've got an old G3 powerbook I recently inhereted, I'm
looking to get a copy of Reason 1 for it (I'll buy a copy if
it runs okay), but no one will/can make me one :(

I hate Mics too. Until I can afford a portable DAT I don't
see the point.

Sky: Number 2 is very tempting.

I was practicing a live set in front of a friend and I think
I blew him away with a haunting ZX Spectrum noise just being
dropped and slowly fading into the filter with a TB 303 and
a loop from an old track I made. }:> He seemed glad I could
do it live but I need a shitload more practice. I have the
tools but I need loads of development in my eyes.

I'm using a PC only at the moment but I have some none
standard shit to play with and a great analogue/digital
input device/sound card. I have nothing made with this yet.

If you let me know what you think I'll prolly get shy. But
if you think it's not that shit alone I'd be happy. I have
better plans but I'm busy with loads of things at the
moment. I always hate my tracks after a very short time.

eh some loose mp3s on my ftp... your mp3 s working now... my
stuff is totally unlike your music... well im not really
into hardcore/breakcore

but its jolly good fun (zemenotazing), first the garbled
voice, then the psyco melodies at about 1:20... well overall
not my cup of tea, but great noise and sounds. and did i
hear a 303 somewhere in there?

if you want ill upload some stuff

pretty weak often sounds good 6 months later.

Yeah, 303 in there. That stuff is fucking around. I want to

actually do. A friend of mine has been making some great
stuff. I don't have any here tho.

It was dead flattering when a mate who doesn't like IDM
(apart from nicer tracks like windowlicker, avril 14th etc.)
asked if he could have copies of some of my tracks after
hearing them.

Swee Swee has a nice warm sound to it, nicely arranged beats
and melodies. Very cool. Dancing around naked has a lot more
going for it, nice beet glitching and again great melody. It
has a lot of depth and great progression. I think you may
benefit from filtering your synths a bit more outside of
whatever you used to make it but hell, I dunno. Still very
cool stuff man. You should try using stereo a bit more and
get into custom filters if I can give you any advice tho.
Keep it up. :>

I still have my good ol' amiga, carved "psycho" in it once
when I got raving mad over some game, looks pretty neat. I
got all my games too but a good friend borrowed my suzo
arcade joystick, so can't play right now.
I would love to play supercars2 again, lost the discs :(.
To name a but few: Speedball2, magic pockets, heck all
bitmap brothers games were ace, rodland, hoi,
elite2:frontier,player manager,sword of aragon,monkey
island, sensible world of soccer, all team17 games etc etc
the list goes on. It still rocks
