Here's the final back catalogue release before I head off to summer holidays.

This week it's a set of Amiga Protracker modules all the way from 1994, delivering you a dose of oldskool breakbeat. Oh them crisp 8-bit samples!

Back in 1994, it took me like 45 minutes to upload the ~500kb zip with a 2400 baud modem. Fast-forward 30 years, it sure was whole lot faster this time around :D

Returning a bit to this LAiTE back catalogue release, here's a brief A/B video of the Amiga recording (original) vs. Remastered version.

Mostly comparing for treble here. Both versions are processed through same final mastering chain, namely TDR Nova GE and TDR Limiter 6.

Remastered version is based on OpenMPT stem renders and thus is a bit brighter. Per track EQing applied too.

Waveform shape on the Amiga version shows clear signs of compressor treatment (DBX266A). Overall waveform offset is probably caused by minor dc offset variation in the sampled sounds.
