Ugh sad to hear you had so much trouble, but at least you came on top. Quite honoured to be an inspiration to someone, too!

The tune's quite nice, esp for a last second effort! Reminds me of some of the Metrodub releases, bit like Matt Nida whose piggytracker stuff I really like (and I think he's doing the weeklies this year again, not sure)

Wow, I'm flattered. I've been a huge fan of Matt's work ever since I heard those Metrodub releases, and I'm carefully building some samplebanks to feed my PSP's Piggy this year. He's indeed doing WB2016 from week 1.

Are you proficient on the Little Piggy? Wouldn't be surprised at all if you almost invented the thing

Thanks for listening Tim and again really coll GIF

Well thank you Mechlo, both for listening and your words ... and glad to see a fellow MPC user here! (i've got the 500)

Glad you were able to submit this, sounds like warp records circa 1992. I'm partial to the groove it settles into near the end.

Well, Thanks for the Warp analogy. I tried to give some more action using random bitcrushing variations over a simple beat. Wish I had more time to add a few details here and there

haha Thanks. I should say I've never had any previous problems with my OSX tracker setup but I decided it was better to UPGRADE to a new MilkyTRacker release in the middle of the project... Bad idea. For some reason it decided the driver would go mono when using my Edirol FA-101... As I said, previous release worked flawlessly. Lesson learned: if ain't broke, don't fix it!

BTW, I've got some "straight from Amiga to hardware sampler" cracktro music in my sleeve

Whoah.. that's really inspiring for some visuals. Thanks!

Really appreciated, mate! I should be careful. A few more minutes of fiddling and I'd miss the deadline

Hope to make some decent chiptuning in the forecoming weeks

Yeah, I'm totally picking up the underwater vibe.  In keeping with the week's theme (which I totally didn't do), I'll imagine it's a planet with a really thick atmosphere rather than underwater.

This is awesome. So many technical variations. Must have taken you ages? Definately sounds like a submarine adventure. Reminds me a bit of Aphex Twin.

Hope next track happens without technical

Really nice super-deep underwater pads, and those fractured beats are totally doing it for me.  Sorry to hear about all the software problems--anytime I've run audio under emulation, it's been a real uphill battle. The end result here is beautiful, though.

That bass is real chewy. Really love the blending of fakebit and modern production sounds. Pretty chill man!

Glad you were still able to get this out in time, considering your troubles! Very nice. The submarine vibe definitely comes across.

only getting around to listening to this now... strong beats and delays/reverb, and I'm excited about Amiga samples any time. i think a lot of times WB makes us "release" stuff we're not happy with, but it turns out to be a great way to learn. also an excellent musical diary in the end. whatever it is, it captures and communicates your world last week.

I definetely love Renoise, but I wanted to use something more minimalistic and although I spent several years with Modplug Tracker, I've lost some of my muscle memory.

Do you know if it's possible to work with a .MOD in renoise and NOT upgrade the effects to be renoise compatible (I want to use the old Protracker commands so I could go back to the real Amiga hardware in the near future). When I loaded my Fasttracker/Milkytracker mod Renoise messed with the effects and columns.

Ahh, I found out SDLAudio doesn't like Realtime Kernel on Linux, so no Flystrack o Milkytracker until rebooting and loading the regular kernel

Thanks! You guys rocked this week, BTW.

I was too close to miss it... Hoping to make every week this year

Cool analogy... would love to follow the "theme of the week" motive but I was too short on time. Really glad you dig the vibe, anyway

Guys, I'm flattered with the comparison with mr AFX himself

Actually it just took about 3-4 hours for everything. The secret trick is applying a random (as in modulated sample & hold with beat sync) variation to the bitcrusher depth so it varies every 1/4 of a bar. Beat has its pauses and fills, but I was surprised myself when I hear the result. I tend to use a lot of lfo-based modulations in sync with the beat, and if you use irregular variations (5/6 of a bar, 3/8 and so on) the result seems to be varied enough, which is good for my sometimes too monotone music.

Thanks for listening, Maurice, and for that gorgeous polygon gif

I usually use a lot of emulation without further problems, but I sometimes make a fool of myself by upgrading some bits like its the end of the world, when the important part was to complete the project and maybe then looking for updates.

As an inmediate future, I wanted to mess a little bit with win32's Famitracker and maybe 2000's Buzz under Crossover (the Wine commercial yet really affordable windows emulation for Linux and Mac). So far, results have been really promising. Anyway, I feel you: sometimes although the emulator is capable of running SOnar or Pro Tools without hiccups you can't run the silliest win98 program you need to import some project from back in the day

Now working in some Linux-Mac interaction. Hope you hear some results soon

This one was pretty "truebit" until I could run the original program, so I dumped everything to audio and continued on Ableton.

Really glad you liked it

Thanks Simon. Glad you got the underwater flow... Your track FTV2 is DA SHIT, man, BTW !!! (what does the name stands for?)

Totally agree with you on this one. I "learn" a lot about where I was or what I was feeling in a particular moment from listening to past releases, while if you put out a "polished" release much of "the moment" is lost in neverending editing and polishing. 

As always, you've got wise words

BTW I could send you some 8 bit Amiga samplebanks I'm carefully building. They're kinda tiny, but I guess that was the idea, isn't it? Also I wanted to experiment building complex 24b/96Khz samples from Amiga sources through modern gear.

i would love that. i was just thinking this morning, i need a unique sound for the metronome that i may want to record with some of my upcoming tracks. not kidding, i was looking for a sound that's simple, non-rennaissance, but not contemporary EDM, either (e.g., no 909 bass drum). so yeah! you got me email still right? not urgent, but thanks!

You can't make MODs with Renoise.
Either use Milky, MPT (ugh!) or the recent Protracker Rewrite that is actually very good (google it)

Well, MPT has an special place in my hearth, though I admit some of its win95 interface is really ugly. Thanks for the tip on Protracker rewrite. I'm really diggin' it and taking it back to the Amiga (I was an Octamed guy for a while).
