ScuzzBlog: Diaries January 2019 Entry 24th January 2019: Post 01: Sound Sampling - Technosound Pt II Sound Sampling - Technosound Pt II Yesterday I attempted to sample a piece of music using the very wonderful TechnoSound Turbo 2. I kinda failed cus I only managed to record one of the channels. So today I gathered my Sharp tape cassette player plus Realistic speakers and plugged them into the Amiga to grab some samples. The Sharp has been me for over thirty years and is still as good today as she always has been. She has sat by my side as I have toiled at my desk filling my ears with thirty years of music. The Realistic speakers were bought from Tandy back in 1994 to compliment the sound on my Amiga 1200. The Microvitec monitor did not come with speakers and so I purchased these speakers so I could enjoy my game time. They always made a base thump when switched on which even today I kinda find comforting and brings back so many memories of the nineties on the A1200. Quite a fantastic sound I have to say. Whilst I could have used the sound from the monitor to listen to the Amiga recordings I wanted to capture some of the sound on video and so wanted a better spread of sound. The actual tape machine is dumb when being used to sample as the headphone jack that the Techno is plugged into kills the speakers. So having set everything up I basically repeated yesterdays fun and games and without any issue the computer recorded both of the stereo channels. It was just wonderful using the actual tape machine that I used back on the A1200 in 1994. The sound out of the Amiga was as impressive now as it was then. I then tried a SONY Walkman to sample some sounds and that worked just fine. However both the SONY Walkman MiniDisc and MP3 just refused to play ball sending out a static white noise over the music. Probably quite deliberate. Dunno. So I recorded some George Michael and Mike Oldfield and listened to the recording and even overlayed them and messed around a bit. All done. Sound Sampling - Technosound Pt II Samples Two samples with video and sound recorded by the actual camera from the Amiga 1200.. Sorry for the scan lines Sometimes there and sometimes not. Vidi-Amiga Animation The very lovely Karen Mulder during a Ghost catwalk session. Recorded using Vidi-Amiga and edited in DPaint on the A1200 That concludes my sampling session on the Amiga. There is always fun things to do with the A1200 that are so easy to use. None of the restrictive issues of codecs and online nonsense of just being able to play and record media. In truth what the Amiga represents today is FREEDOM F R E E D O M Linda Evangelista, Naomi Cambell, Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford, Tatjana Patitz
