OMG, this video brings back endless memories using this program for hours in my room on the amiga 😊😊😊

I was banished to the bedroom with my black and white TV whilst the girlfriend was watching her soaps on the colour TV. In retrospect, I miss the enforced experimentation that was necessary because of the limitations. Acquiring Making Waves and SoundForge was like ten christmases rolled into one. Now that I have Reason 10, I find it difficult to become inspired. THC helped too.

It's really a sophisticated way to make music even tho it's old. You use way more focus and determination on getting it right the first time, and that can help a lot with finding the right samples and sounds you need to make a cool track. No wonder why there was so many golden tracks back then.. Cool video dude!!

This just brought back some great memories of laying down backing tracks (bass, drum some keys) to take to "band practice" to tell them "this is how WE'RE gonna do it...!" I still have my Amiga 2000 boxed as new in the garage along with all my disks. If I could only read my song disks using my Amiga emulators on PC!!!

this is fascinating! How limitations can push your creativity! Love it! Thanks for sharing

Wow! I've just been taken back to almost twenty years ago when I first started experimenting with sequencing on my first Amiga. My creations were shite but I thought that they were the bollox. Thanks for reminding me of my memories.

3 years later but thanks for this! Super helpful, in a sea of ableton tutorials, I needed a way that applied to old school trackers and hardware samplers and I wasn't sure how to match the bpm without fancy time stretch software. This is exactly what I was looking for

Octamed was pretty cool in that time. I loved this tracker. Now I'm "a bit" further with a proper DAW, softsynths etc. But: I like this video - brings up memories to me. :)

Good 'ol Octamed. My first DAW. Used this in '94 on the Amiga 600. It was strange to first learn with Octamed's scrolling UI then go to Windows '95 and learn Cakewalk Home Audio. I would edit my samples in Audition 4 for Amiga OS. Yep. Audition 4 before Adobe changed Cool Edit Pro into Adobe Audition.

So many memories , thanks for this bud, made so many tunes on this and protracker in the 90s, making this stuff was easier I feel back then

Yep, good times. Will put more tracking stuff up onto the channel.

Just started using a tracker called Mpt very much works like this . Thou i love the workflow of modern DAWS as i still create this type of breakbeat music.

*compromise,

I started with OctaMED v4 myself, but I loved OctaMED Soundstudio, the ability to have all those channels was awesome, although I did have to accelerate my A1200, so bought a Blizzard 030/50 for it. Just getting back into tracking on the Amiga again :-)

This was great. Please make more.

very informative actually, thank you for this

this is gold . Salute from México

this video is so great, youtube is full of tunes but no explanations on how they were made

Your note @ 6:13 definitly agree with you. Great little vid ;-), more please !!!

I'm on a it of a Amiga nostalgia trip at the moment.Its funny I have two keyboard workstations,cubase 9.5 and a load of plugins and none of that set up is as accessible or instant as Octamed was,it really was easy and efficient to use.I used to make up songs all the time on it.You would get loads of sound from cover disks even games.I used to get really excited when I got new drum loops.I definitely produced far more music then than I do now with all my moder gear

Same here. Before the internet there was an enjoyful process of scavenging for sounds you made use of in a less is more/make do sort of way. It was very exciting getting new samples, they were precious! I’m hoping to do a video soon with OctaMED and an S3000 to show the MIDI side.

Loved this program, only had a free version via PD. The things you could do with it...I now use Magix MM or Audioloops. Thanks for the trip back in time.

Instead of using the transpose screen to change the pitch of the samples, you can use the INSTR screen and then transpose up and down, and also fine tune each sample.

Love the video! Subscribed..... 👊🏼

Man I had YEARS of fun out of Octamed!

Groovy!

Haha OctaMED used to drive me crazy! Big respect to anyone that can actually make a track with it lol

Ahh brilliant videos !! Have been using octamed V4 for about 5 years but mostly rolling on guess work. Was a Cubase man back in the day. I managed to sus out how you were copy pasting the range area from one of your other vids along with actually reading the manual. 😂 Keep em coming, would love to see one that went into short cuts and cmd stuff...... you used a cmd for shuffle in one if your other vids but it was on a different version of octamed, super curious to know if that works on v4. Thank you kindly sir 👌

Hey. Great turorial. I’m a long time Pro Tracker user. I’d like to ask about Octa Med. When i’m adding more than 4 tracks, audio from Amiga goes only thru first 4 tracks. Am i doing something wrong or Amiga i capable of using only 4 audio tracks at the same time? Thank you

Do you know any place where I can get the samples? I am really interested in those drum sounds!

Bring de noiyzzze!!!

Nice short tutorial. Where can i get the urban shakedown sample packs?

I did a version of our house by madness on the 16 track and it was pretty decent

matrix shit i love it

Excellent video, I've bought FL Studio to be able to make this music, I must admit I'm struggling. Never realised the tunes of my youth were made like this. I thought you'd need a couple of grand to make tunes like Slipmatt etc which is why my money went on tickets and drugs

OctaMED can trigger MIDI, but through the emulator (UAE) on Windows I found the timing to be really bad, so use original Amiga + MIDI interface. See kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z2Gd27x-l9i5cbA.html

Easy Bruv love the tutorial Dug out old faithful and back on it. Stumped around 5:29 What keyboard shortcut did you use to paste in range ?. Because Amiga Key & V is Paste Block. I do the range pasting via the range panel and click paste. I see your mouse is in the same place so I am snookered by your ninja skills. It has been a while so I have some ring rust but now I am back on it Proper!!!!

If you have HDD it lets you preview the sample?

@RaveyStabs

Not so much previewing but very fast to load a sample into a slot from HDD then preview at different pitches using the keyboard right away. If you don't like the sample you can easily just click and load another.
