[MacTron]

I'm going to inaugurate this new section with some of my recent works. Opinions, suggestions and "likes" or "dislikes" are welcome...


1-Faiado

2-LostSummer

3-SyncMonster

4-Esperanza

5-Argos

6-DiscoÑa


All this themes were made on a G4 MDD running  Mac Os 9. The audio/MIDI software used was Cubase VST 5  with NI Kompakt and NI FM7 as virtual sinths (VSTi). In some themes PowerCore plugins  were used.
No midi or pre-sampled phrases or loops were used. All is made with absolute original material, but most instruments patchs.
Nor live midi sequenced or live audio recorded also. Pure scoring, pure computer, PURE Mac Os 9 DAW!

Nice Job   ... Argos has movie possibilities

Sync Monster = Jan Hammer = Miami Vice
Like it! 

[MacTron]

Nice Job

Thanks but i know that still are plenty room for improvements in the music and in the sound...

... Argos has movie possibilities

This is my first work with orchestra and chorus, perhaps someday I'll try to develope it a bit more and fix the end.

Sync Monster = Jan Hammer = Miami Vice

Yes, that's true!
...but I never realized untill you had noticed it

Like it! 

Thanks

[DieHard]

Actually....

Sync Monster = Jan Hammer = Miami Vice

More like (Jan Hammer / Miami Vice) Meets Rocky "Eye of the Tiger"

[arjen_1]

Right! But the distorted guitar chord is so Miami Vice. I am a big fan of the series. I actually started computer music on the age of 10 after I saw Jan Hammer performing "Crockett's Theme" with a keyboard and a Macintosh. I had both but no midi-interface so I terrorized my local music shop with tons of questions and finally, after 2 years, I had my (imported) opcode interface. This track brings back memories!

"Sync monster" reminds me some details of Queen´s "Radio Gaga" and Survivor "Eye of the Tiger"

[Irisman]

Crystal clear sound and mix     Nice way of using the synths in orchestral mode; the only thing that I dislike on your music is the vocal tuning on "Discoña"...

[Irisman]

Hi,

You can listen to some recordings on a rocker mood (don´t tell that I did not told about...) that I did with some friends some years ago:

All guitars there are from me, beside many other things.

"The Idol"
Wow!
Great!
...it transport me to my long hair days....

This song is a version or a original one?

Thanks for comment!

It´s a cover song of W.A.S.P.; it was released in a german label; you can take a look:

ok. so some people say my baby instantly separates humanity into the 2 categories: people with humor and those who dont..

[damo-blak]

Well I was wondering what kind of creative stuff you guys might be making with all this great old tech,
put up a track or two,vid/art or something:-) and say a few words about it if you want....

here's my effort:-

synthwave/soundtrack mix
-----------------------------
https://youtu.be/zDMqhfQE_eA

sequenced some old synths/drum machine and recorded them to tapedeck,then back into the comp:-),i've not heard it on speakers
but it should sound alright as I've not heard anyone moaning about it yet!(did it on headphones-I've got two autistic daughters
that make lots of noise/dont like my noise,heh).

Here is a track I recorded using DieHard's Instant DAW Suite a while back.

Akai S950 sequenced and recorded with Cubase VST/32

Some synthwavey industrial I was working on using System 7 and Cubase 3.0.1 on a Quadra 700.

nice to see the old mac in action!,you got some good keys is that a re-release prophet?,looks really sweet,my m8 has the
original but its broke at the moment,the house track is really chill I like it:-),really enjoyed your video thanks for posting,
its inspiring for me to see that,i'll have to get my studio back together and make some more vidz,yeah im gonna get that
instant DAW going too when i get round to it!.

[Architecture]

Instant DAW is a lifesaver. I’ve had to redo my OS9 installations a few times and it’s been a quick way to get back up and running.

That is the new Prophet 10. And I think it sounds great.

Another Quadra 700 sequenced track, multi tracked into Live 11 as Midi Clock Slave to Q700.

hi Architecture,
That track sounds well,I can really hear that the midi is super tight!
 

[Architecture]

I found serial on the Unitor to be a bit tighter on Cubase, just had to have another DAW clocked to it for multi tracking.

Got a Keyspan Serial card and will see how much more I like it on OS9. Might not work as well in OSX though.

Having audio and midi in one box is nice because it lines up really close to the midi notes. Haven’t really had that level of tightness previously.

Unfortunately the SXPRO card has no MIDI driver for OSX. It''s fabulous in OS9.

What settings do you use for your SX cards? I keep getting MIDI overload messages from OMS and the option of “Forget Port or Reset Port”
