Your Amiga had four channels, although you could track with eight channels. Impulsetracker then? Try 64 channels. This is why it's files often were orchestral symphonies compared to older tracked formats.

[ Ericade.radio news & podcasts ] [Podcast] 106. Two years in the bunker

Two years on the air! They said it wasn’t possible – it couldn’t be done. And I proved them… Actually, no one said any of that. But the station is on and broadcasting 24/7. It’s been quite a year and let me, DJ Daemon tell you about all the stuff we’ve been through together.One hour of the newest additions to the station of tracked music.00:00 ericade.radio – Good evening, here is another hour of tracked music00:06 DJ Daemon: Two years! On the 13th of September 2020, we started broadcasting. And we’re still on. We’ve talked about the creation of the station on a previous episode. So this hour is just a look back at all the mayhem, chaos, broken songs and also some the bad stuff that have happen.

00:30 Malmen – Flirt talk
03:09 DJ Daemon: better audio and why not a bit of recognition. Jono Woodward’s voice had replaced Nicole’s and the first version of the music database was already online. And it all was looking up.
03:56 Darkhalo – Nights
08:57 DJ Daemon: Our show and podcast, Flashback – tracks from the past, ran every week with few exceptions.
09:47 Coretex – Ascention
13:40 DJ Daemon: Getting the best sound was quite a challenge. I had already automated importing the tracker tunes, so they all had the same sound levels and track information. I also put a lot of effort in tuning the broadcast processor running the whole station. This almost got out of hand with countless evenings testing, trimming and measuring.
14:13 DNA-Groove – SDXB – #5
17:21 DJ Daemon: I decided to create an emergency playlist-generator in order to handle outages. It didn’t really end where I thought it would. Instead of a mere playlist generator, it became a station in its own right. It ran all the old shows and had news from Feature Story News every hour. Getting all that to work was quite an undertaking.
18:13 Tnk – Distant heavens
23:43 DJ Daemon: As I was no longer broadcasting live after August 2021, focus shifted towards developing the website and the database. I built the dashboards showing the operation of the station. It looked like the NASA space center in my 3 square meter work room. Screens, panels and cables everywhere.
24:16 Kerni – I am Tim Follin
28:02 DJ Daemon speaks: We’re celebrating two years a on the air.
28:15 Psirius – The Big Data
32:15 DJ Daemon: How would I know if the songs I play choose were unpopular? With the database I could rank the worst offenders by checking what was playing when people disconnected. But I decided to ask the listeners. And so was done by adding a Star-system, allowing users rate what was playing. It worked perfectly.
32:59 Tnk – Journey to Micronesia
37:20 DJ Daemon: There’s no way you can make our broadcast software, PlayIt live, to accept listener requests. This I was told. That was my “challenge accepted – hold my beer”-moment. Given the data we had, I built a Rube Golberg-esque machine that made the users able to search for songs. It made quite a splash on the Facebook-group with the other PlayIt Live broadcasters. I even got two offers to sell the solution.
38:11 Melcolm – Night Air
42:49 DJ Daemon: During 2022, the show started focusing on the music and the demo parties over stortytelling. I created a series of episodes showcasing different genres of music. I also improved audio quality and threw out all Amiga-tunes twice to remaster them with better sound. They’re all now pretty darn well-sounding and in mono. Problem finally solved.
43:30 MpjV – Banger (temporary name)
46:56 DJ Daemon speaks presents today’s only medley.
47:20 Ida – Disco
48:59 Virgill – Atariklang 4k
50:50 Wito – Pride
52:47 DJ Daemon thanks you for listening. Leading you into that good night is…
53:20 Oleg Dunaev – Wind From Wild Places
56:22 ericade.radio – Coming to you taped from a bunker in northern Stockholm
56:28 DJ Daemon we’re on ericade.radio.
01:01:12 Panter of Peon – Into A Dream
01:02:16 Malmen and Xaimus – Moonlit memory

Production notes:
Colophon
A bit of a joke about the initial idea of making the station voice-acted from a "bunker" in northern Stockholm. This thankfully never happened.

An obligatory anniversary episode.

Svenska Commodoreklubben (SCK) held a great retro-event in Täby in northern Stockholm in Sweden between the 26 - 28th of August 2022. It held a fantastic museum, a repair shop, a quiz held by Frida Katarina, the online meeting "Sen kväll med Commodoreklubben" and ericade.radio did a live broadcast.Huge thanks to Hravnkel, Björn A, Bjonte, PataG, Hedgewizard, Per G, Frida Katarina and all the other people making the retro-scene the place to be!We did a live broadcast during the most of the Friday, but had to cut it short on Saturday due health-issues on my part. But still, we got a lot of stuff to talk about. And the music is a fresh addition to the station and mostly very soft and mellow as it feels right. Enjoy!The link: commodore.se/about-us/ (Mostly in Swedish)ErrataI said that the Amiga 500 came out in 1997. I misspoke. It was in 1987. My bad.

[Podcast] 102. 40 years of Commmodore 64

[ Ericade.radio news & podcasts ] [Podcast] 102. 40 years of Commmodore 64

What a computer! The legendary C64. In August of 2022, it celebrates 40 years of being the one computer we all remember fondly. That’s right, Commodore launched it in August of 1982. The same year as the war in the Falklands and Michael Jackson’s thriller.DJ Daemon talks about the C64. The music is mostly fantastic remakes of old C64 game tunes.

Playlist:
00:00 ericade.radio – Time for Flashback, tracks from the past – today with another demo party top list
00:08 DJ Daemon speaks.
00:43 Liam the Lemming – Auf Wiedersehen Monty theme
07:04 DJ Daemon speaks: I got my C64 late in the game. The year was 1989 and I had a busload of cool games for it. But, those stories, we talked about. So let’s pick the machine apart without becoming too technical about it. But first, the history. 1982, the market was dominated by BBC Micro, Sinclair Spectrum ZX1 and the Dragon 32. Commodore had the fairly successful VIC-20. IBM rode high on the first PC, the IBM 5150. August 1982, Commodore launch the C64. The market would never look the same.
08:04 Galaxy of Amaze – Zamzara
13:31 DJ Daemon speaks: The brains of the C64 was the 6502 microprocessor. It was created by Commodore’s own chip company, MOS Technology. Clocked around 1 MHz, it may not have shone too bright compared to the competition. But it was efficient. So much, that in certain scenarios, it would be able to do the same work with less clock cycles than later competitors like Motorola. And Basic. It was just Basic, but still good enough to give you an included language to program the C64 – up front. Not unusual, but helpful.
14:18 Mark’t.d.k’knight – Spellbound
18:10 DJ Daemon speaks: A funny little note from a book about the C64, it noted that the names SID and VIC sounded like they belong to some gangsters from the 30s. SID was the sound chip and VIC handled all the graphics. About the graphics: you got 16 preset colors and resolutions up to 320 times 200. The memory was limited, so, it was not possible to map a color to every pixel in multicolor mode. I don’t have time to get technical, but the limitations where a challenge to the developers. One they knew how to master. So the graphics was stellar due to the inspired design of the VIC chip.
19:10 Ajax lemon – Monty on the run (Highgscore)
22:32 DJ Daemon speaks: Good CPU and nice graphics. What about the sound? Ok, this was 1982, so you could not record audio. Actually later on, the C64 could be taught to play 4 bit samples. But for intents and purposes, it was a true ADSR generator. Three voices could bring different preset waveforms like triangle, sawtooth and pulse and white noise. But one major thing set it apart: it could also switch waveforms on any and all channels on the fly. This is the big magic power of the SID chip. It made it play in its own division.
23:29 2t2m The M – Turbo Outrun 2018
26:17 DJ Daemon speaks: Commodore’s big success among many mistakes. But Commodore almost lost the game, because they only thought the C64 would be for businesses and companies. When the later C-model came out in 1986, the marketing was different. And I remember the Swedish ads that had gaming themes and relied on Epyx Summer, Winter, World and California games. But Commodore had launched the Amiga in 1985 and in 1987 the new Amiga 500 stole the show. At this time, the 8bit computer era was over.
27:12 Alex Menchi – Loopz Remix Credits
30:42 DJ Daemon speaks: This old classic computer, with its peculiar boxy design, which is the one we all remember. Yeah, it was meant to be shape the world. And it did! The demo scene sprung to life around it, to show the world what it could do. A good C64 demo must make you think “no, this can’t be. This is not possible to do on a C64”. The C64 composers, demo programmers and gamers grew up with one of the most interesting machines ever created.
31:26 Dreamfish – Ocean loader
35:34 DJ Daemon speaks: As we look back at the era, we must smile over how primitive the C64 really was. 64 kB of RAM. The machine broadcasting this show has 32 GB. That’s half a million more bytes. I’m just saying. 16 colors that you could choose, but not change. But still. And then there is the weird Commodore character sets, today known as “Petsci”. It was the emoji-maker of its day. With building blocks and hearts and what have you. Think of it like this: emojis express feelings. Petscii graphics can draw anything you like! But, it still mattered then and for many of us, it still does.
36:28 Makke – Ghosts ‘n Thrillers
39:44 DJ Daemon speaks.
40:21 ORiON – Spellbound (4.32)
44:52 DJ Daemon speaks.
45:28 SaxxonPike – After the War

[Podcast] 100. Synth oddity

[ Ericade.radio news & podcasts ] [Podcast] 100. Synth oddity

Episode 100! From December 2020 until today, it's been quite a ride. But no need to get all misty eyed about it. DJ Daemon instead spends this hour exploring two tracker music oddities: the AHX and HVL formats.So expect more chiptunes today, as both those formats were born to excel in that way.

Playlist:
00:00 ericade.radio - Time for Flashback, tracks from the past - with your host DJ Daemon
00:06 DJ Daemon: 100 episodes! I did not know we would get there. But we did. No time for celebration. Today, we give you songs from two tracked formats we generally don't play: HivelyTracker Audio and Symponie. I will explain, but first, let's hear what HivelyTracker can do! 26s
00:27 Charles Ingalls of Genesis Project - Highscore musiikkia saunassa
01:58 DJ Daemon speaks: According to the Kodi wiki: "Hively Tracker is a tracker program based upon the AHX format created in the mid '90s by Dexter and Pink of Abyss. The format was relatively popular, and many songs were created and used in scene productions and games. AHX was designed to create a very SID-like sound on the Amiga." So, meant for chiptune sounds, then. Let's talk AHX, but first, some music. 51s
02:43 Larph - All fuses blown
08:02 DJ Daemon speaks: So Hively tracker is an improved AHX format. This asks the obvious question: what is AHX? According to their website: "AHX is a protracker-like music editor that was designed especially to create C64-like synthetic tunes. There is no support for sampled instruments as chip tunes are made to be as small in size as possible." It's a rather odd format, and we only have a few of these on the station. Five are added today, by the way as you will hear. 51s
08:43 Alex Man - Ocean
12:44 DJ Daemon wants to up the tempo a bit with the next song. 25s
13:04 Ctriz - Gmz
16:53 DJ Daemon notes that we have to play the formats we talk about. So here are two AHX-tunes. 24s
17:09 Jazzcat of Ghostown - Jaded lights
19:54 DJ Daemon: if you like what you're listening to, go to ericade.radio for more. 11s
19:59 Jazzcat - New ghost in town
23:04 DJ Daemon gives you some more AHX-tunes. 20s
23:18 Jerry of Desire - Smooth Talker
26:54 DJ Daemon mentions the just ended demo parties Assembly, Evoke and Atwoods summer open air. They will hopefully be covered on an upcoming episode. 32s
27:20 Josss - Sunny soul
30:39 DJ Daemon talks about "Demo scene report" from PSEnough and recommds people watching it. 35s
31:08 M of Useless - Sunday
33:43 DJ Daemon speaks explains that he is in northern Sweden right now. 37s
34:13 Varthall of Up Rough - Szabo Tours 1.1
37:26 DJ Daemon talks about this being episode 100. 39s
37:58 Manwe of SandS - Waiting for Julia
43:07 DJ Daemon: let's go on with another Hively tracker tune. 22s
43:23 Trackerartist - Galactic emeralds
46:00 DJ Daemon talks about the retro wave on Youtube (again). 35s
46:28 Yelm of Zymosis - Fake
48:33 DJ Daemon:Yelm gets another chance. 20s
48:47 Yelm of Zymosis - Huulis2
50:54 DJ Daemon asks you to send suggestions for people to interview. 38s
51:26 Vhiiula - Destin: La Lune
54:09 DJ Daemon thanks you for listening and leading you into that good night is... 29s

56:59 DJ Daemon: "Go to ericade.radio". 13s
57:07 Maran project - Piano in flames

Production notes:
Colophon:
"Space oddity" is a song by David Bowie. And it's a magnificent song. I like referencing pop-culture in my titles.

This broadcast was made in Northern Sweden during my vacation. The equipment is seen on the picture.

[Podcast] 96. Gubbdata and Arok 2022

[ Ericade.radio news & podcasts ] [Podcast] 96. Gubbdata and Arok 2022

Talk about a scheduling conflict! Gubbdata in Sweden and Arok in Hungary both ran on the 1st to 3rd of July 2022. DJ Daemon solved it by waiting for the songs to arrive, so now we have 17 competing tracks from both demo parties.It's gonna be a great hour of six Amiga tunes, eight remixes and three C64 pure SIDs.

Playlist:
00:00 ericade.radio - Time for Flashback, tracks from the past - today with another demo party top list
00:07 DJ Daemon: One toplist? Nah… Try THREE! That's right, we have the Remix compo and the C64 music from Arok and the Amiga music compo from Gubbdata. In all 17 brand new tracks in a classic list. In this hour: two great demo parties, Arok from Hungary and Gubbdata from Sweden. 29s
00:31 Rikimbo - Garbage Day Stroll
01:37 DJ Daemon: We start with Gubbdata and their six contestants. All Amiga alla tracked. Place six holds the last winner as we like to say today. Back in my days, it wasn't called that. No reference to that old Eagles song. It's Amiga and jumping all over the place in a wild manner. It's Adkd - Commodore Hotel. 33s
02:04 Adkd - Commodore hotel
04:56 DJ Daemon: The summer has been commemorated with Slash and company and their "Sommarblommor". In Swedish, that means summerflowers. Cool chip tune that will keep you warm in the winter. Place 5. 18s
05:09 Slash - Sommarblommor
07:00 DJ Daemon: KRDN gaves us this tune in advance, so it's been on the station for a week now. A wander through a digital landscape in an orderly manner. A bit cinematic as well. Place 4. 25s
07:21 KRDN - Shrt base freakout
09:31 DJ Daemon: Bronze place for Slaze. Not last place Slaze and not first place Slaze either. It's so 80s, that Chernobyl was still at least smoking. Mastery of four channel and that's good for place 3. 23s
09:47 Slaze - Flex your muscle
13:04 DJ Daemon: Next up is Tempest with We'll Get There. And they did. A bit trembling and cautious, that's the feeling of this chip tune. It glimmers and sparkles and feel just right. Place 2 and all the silver cutlery Tempest can steal from the judges. 32s
13:32 Tempest - We'll get there
17:23 DJ Daemon: Covid stinks and we are happy now that we can open up. Demo parties are on location again and Syphus celebrates by winning the Gubbdata compo with Openup22. Place 1 - The gold - The epic win and time to celebrate. 23s
17:41 Syphus - Openup22
19:05 DJ Daemon: Switching to Arok and their awesome remix compo. It's modern, but still tracked. Arok is in cooperation with SlayRadio, but we steal their stuff anyway. Eight contestants and one winner. That's the standard proportions of a competion. Especially the one winner part. Dr. Future brings an eclectic tune that is heavy in bass and rhythm. And it has electric guitars. That alone. 73 points and place eight. 41s
19:40 Dr.Future - The Alibi (256 kbit)
22:30 DJ Daemon: XxDUSTYxX featuring Vaggelis Papadopoulos is next. And no, it's not Vangelis. I almost made that mistake, until I Googled for it and then didn't. The song is called Fist 2. 22s
22:49 Dusty - Fist2 (feat. Vaggelis Papadopoulos)
26:15 DJ Daemon: When this came up, I was sure it was a Chris Huelsbeck remix. Nope, one letter wrong. It's called Final Fight and adds stage 1 and boss to its name. The artist is DJ McKezdett Kalbász. Say that five times fast. 895 points and place 6. 23s
26:35 DJ McKezdett Kalbász - Final Fight stage 1 and boss
28:34 DJ Daemon: On place 5, we find an Epic cinematic remix. It's the music from the game Oil imperium. The one that plays as you drill for oil. Many of the songs are remixes of old games. That's the plan. Zoltán Varga behind the keyboard and 89 points. 22s
28:54 Zoltán Varga - Oil Imperium, Drilling Sequence
30:15 DJ Daemon: Staying alive is next. Sorry, no we can't play commercial music. But it's Eivynd Sommersten's Savage, I will never know. It sounds a bit like that old 70s song. Darnit, this one makes me jump up and down. This is awesome-sauce at 91 points and still only place 4. I call for a mistrial! 30s
30:41 Eivind Sommersten - Savage (I Will Never Know)
34:10 DJ Daemon: Gaming music again. I loved this game as a kid!!!! It's epic, it's a bronze well-deserved. Holy-moly. Varga Nadin makes it feel like a movie from the 90s with Steven Seagal. 107 points with a great cast rolling in the credits of Falcon Patrol II remix. 32s
34:38 Varga Nadin - Falcol Patrol II remix
37:01 DJ Daemon: Berluskåni, or "Max Levin", that is his real name, grabs the silver medal and runs wild with Flimbo's quest subtune 3. The one everyone loves more than the game itself. And he does it justice at a bazillion beats per minutes. Amazing. 27s
37:24 Berluskåni - Flimbo in Tyrol (Arok-remix)
40:43 DJ Daemon: Glyn R Brown goes for gold and makes up for the close miss from the last yea's Arok party. You know the one with the Giana Sister remix. This is 119 points going all the way to the gold position with Metal Warrior Ultra. It's crazy ride with angels singing in the back as you throw yourself right into the battle. 30s
41:00 Glyn R Brown - Metal Warrior Ultra
44:18 DJ Daemon: C64 compo 23s
44:37 SquareWave of Lethargy - Save

[ Ericade.radio news & podcasts ] [Podcast] 93. Shadow party 2022

Shadow party 2022 ended last Sunday and brings a rather meager list of tunes. But we get three great streamed ones and two tracked that, alas, are not up to standard for this station. But DJ Daemon gives you the streamed compo and then switches to a modarchive curated playlist with soft melodious tune and some heavy rocking ones.
