Remember Me

Everyone was talking about the Amigo VST for the last few weeks and since I spent most of the 90's in Protracker, and the price honestly made it a no-brainer, I picked it up. This track is supposed to be a slightly modernised throwback into the 90's - gritty samples of questionable sources, distorted 808 basses, etc. etc.

I resampled a couple of synths into Amigo as well, notably the pad and the arp, to give it that grit. In the end I didn't spend as much time with the drum editing as I expected as the sound of that more mellow melodic jungle didn't need it.

This was fun and I think Amigo will part of my toolkit from now on. Definitely recommended.

Whee! Thanks! It's been a lot of fun, I think the Amigo plugin brings back some of the simplicity and the immediacy of ye olde Protracker times while you still of course have all the possibilities of a modern DAW at your fingertips.

Love it when that filthy bass comes in.  Always a sucker for some drum breaks too.  Nice!
