🎤 Production Notes
Colophone:No special meaning behind the title. It's "Rock and roll" and "Tracker music" in one word.Those episodes are the result of people complaining that I don't talk so much about the music itself. And I have noted that using the ModArchive comments is an easy way to give the listeners an expert commentary, as many of the commenters are tracker music artists themselves.
Transcript
ericade.radio - Time for another episode of Flashback - Tracks from the past
Time for another episode of Flashback! Tracks from the past! Tonight we're it! One hour with ROCK! They tracked it, we broadcasted, you rock it! To those about to rock, we salute you!
DJ Daemon: tonight, we're rocking it! One hour with just R-O-C-K. They tracked it, we broadcast it, you rock it! To those about to rock - we salute you!
BadliZ - Produced to AE~ II
DJ Daemon speaks. 53s
And that was Badliss, produced to AE. Okay, I will not try to sound like some hard rocker dude, because my voice box can't take it and I don't think you can either. We are going on with something really nice, it's a medley from Cybellus. Or I made it a medley that is. First up is Fix It Later, then comes A Week Ago and Buck Goes East. Comments, yeah we got them too.Viraxor writing about fix it later, rating a 10 out of 10 in 2022. He writes yet another great fast paced song by Cybellus. I gotta say I love your avatar, it's a very cool looking pig.
Cybelius - Fix it later
Cybelius of Orange - A week ago
Cybelius of Orange - Bok goes east
DJ Daemon speaks. 40s
Just a fair warning, there's gonna be lot of Sibelius today. He's very talented and you shouldn't be too shocked that he is actually Finnish. But this song is called A Million Dollars. And Virakster seems to be a hard rock connoisseur, because he writes, rating it 9 out of 10, some hard rock, pretty nice.
Cybelius of Sonique - A million dollars
DJ Daemon speaks. 35s
Sibelius had quite a ride on this station, but we have to give other artists a chance. Sibelius is pretty obviously Finnish because his name is a take on Sjan Sibelius, was a composer from Finland in the 19th century. Gavis with Firetruck is up next, and comments? Yeah, got him. Marco wrote in 2017, giving it 8 out of 10. Korn Song withnice instrumentals.
Gammis of Lemonride - Firetruck
DJ Daemon speaks. 38s
The next song has quite a cool story to it. It's Captain Blood in the alien ship, and the artist is an old friend, Cyborg Jeff. And he writes, End of the year 96 is a great moment for PPP Team Software. And he tells us that he will continue write songs for their games. And this one is a new song for...Bloodwar, which is an alien breed clone. I don't know if the game was ever released.
Cyborg Jeff - Cpt Blood in the Alien ship
DJ Daemon speaks. 132s
Few artists write insightful comments. But next up is David N. The song is called Be More Than Just a Number. And his comment is sad, but clever and makes you think of it. Have you ever seen The Flash? Everyone else has had more sex than me. That's where the idea for this song started. About the feeling that you have a number on you that everyone else can see and judge you by.People will try to manipulate you with that feeling. For an example, Lynx X-Clicks advert campaign with hand-held telecounters. That's almost exactly a real life version of what everyone else was saying, and tries to teach you that you're only worth your number. It happens in electronic world where everything is measured too.There is an ever-present feeling of the competition against each other. But you are not your page views, comments or the number of favorites you get. What matters most is how you are as a person. If you concentrate on only the numbers that make up your popularity, you're not truly yourself.
DavidN - Be More Than Just a Number
DJ Daemon speaks. 76s
David N seems to be a thinking man. He gets the next song as well. It's called Welcome to the Machine. He writes in his commentary. Welcome to the Machine. Despite the title, this isn't the cover of the Pink Floyd song. In fact, the inspiration for the title comes from a particularly terrifying level of Echo the Dolphin, which I later learned took its name from said Pink Floyd song anyway.I know I said I was fed up with writing concept albums, but the songs turned out to have a theme running through it after all. A mix of commentary on how we run our real lives on computers and retreat into a virtual world to have online personas as well.
DavidN - Welcome to the Machine
DJ Daemon speaks. 46s
We're going on with Eliya and Hey D. Two comments. It's Arne Puschelsky. You remember him from last week? In 2009 he rated the song 9 out of 10 and wrote A very good soft rock, rock and metal track. Very good samples and songwriting. The song lives on from the harmony and the melody. Very good composition.Pip Malt, yes another of those artists, he wrote in 2009, ranking it 8 out of 10. This song goes through many stages, soft rock, hard rock and even flat out metal they are on display. Good samples!
Elijah - Haydee
DJ Daemon speaks. 42s
Alright rock and roll man! So we are continuing with Aroma of Spite. It's from 2002 by or EM022000. He writes hello to all who like heavy metal and other metal music. Special hello to all my friends. Hatebreeder, Halloween, Fior, Shiroo, Atako and...From Angel, also hello to my brother Darkman. That is quite a gang of really nasty names. Probably nice people though.
Em022000 - Aroma of spite
DJ Daemon speaks. 66s
This is Flashback, tracks from the past, and I'm DJ Daemon. We're rocking on with Gargoyle and Echo. Comments? Yep, we got em. It's Techno John in 2011, rating it 8 out of 10. He writes, Very well done. The singing is done well, as well as the processing on it. I like that break that happens somewhere around pattern 52. Good tripletting too.Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this piece, can't wait to hear more of your stuff. CKD wrote in 2001, rating it 9 out of 10. Gargoyle has done really good work again, as usual. Not much to complain in this tune, very good melodies and a couple of solos keep this tune interesting from start to end.
Gargoyle - Echo
DJ Daemon speaks. 37s

🎙 People in this podcast episode
He got his Commodore 64 in 1989 and his first Amiga in 1990. A huge fan of tracker music and have had a long standing dream to create a radio show playing that kind of music. In 2020, that dream came true and in december Amiga Flashback started as a podcast. It was later renamed Flashback, tracks from the past and here we are.
He is also an orga for Swedish demo party Edison and a total retro nerd.

Mp3 file details
Open the waveform at full size (opens in a new tab)
- Scan status Whether the station’s analyser could read this mp3. “OK” means every number in this box was measured from the actual audio, not copied from a tag that somebody typed.
- OK
- measured from the file itself
- Scanned When the file was last analysed. If the mp3 is replaced afterwards, these numbers describe the old version until it is scanned again.
- File size How much room the mp3 takes on a disk, and how much data you use when you play or download it. It is roughly the bit rate multiplied by the length.
- 88.7 MB
- 93 059 600 bytes
- File last changed When the mp3 on our server was last written - usually the day it was uploaded, or encoded again.
- Length How long the recording plays. It is measured from the audio itself, so it is right even when a tag in the file says something else.
- 1:03:35
- hours : minutes : seconds
- Bit rate How much data is spent on each second of sound. More data keeps more detail when the audio is squeezed into an mp3: 128 kbit/s is acceptable, 192 is good, and 320 is the most an mp3 can hold.
- 195 kbit/s
- good quality
- Sample rate Digital audio is a long row of measurements of the sound wave. This is how many are taken every second. 44.1 kHz is the CD standard and 48 kHz the video and broadcast standard - both capture everything a human ear can hear.
- 44.1 kHz
- 44 100 measurements a second
- Channels How many separate signals the file holds. Mono is one. Stereo is two - left and right - which is what lets a sound be placed somewhere between your speakers.
- Stereo
- 2 channels
- Codec The method used to shrink the audio. MP3 leaves out the detail an ear is least likely to miss, which makes the file about a tenth of the size of the original recording.
- MP3
- Loudness The average loudness of the whole recording, the way a listener hears it (“integrated loudness”, in LUFS). The closer to 0, the louder. Music services aim for about -14 and podcasts for about -16, so that you do not have to reach for the volume between tracks.
- −13.9 LUFS
- typical for streaming and podcasts
- Loudness range The distance between the quiet passages and the loud ones, in LU (1 LU is 1 dB). A small number means an even, compressed sound - good in a car or on a phone. A large number means big swings between soft and loud.
- 2.0 LU
- very even
- True peak The highest level the signal ever reaches, including the peaks that appear between the measurements when the file is turned back into sound. 0 is the ceiling: above about -1 dBTP, a recording can crackle (“clip”) on some players.
- −2.7 dBTP
- safely below the ceiling
- Dynamic range How far the loudest peaks stand above the loud parts of the recording, in dB - the “DR” number that music collectors compare albums by. A low number (under 8) means the sound has been squeezed until everything is equally loud: punchy, but tiring to listen to. 14 and up means the music has room to breathe, with real hits and real quiet. It says nothing about how loud the file is: turning the volume down does not change it. Chip music made of steady square waves naturally lands low.
- DR 10
- 9.9 dB · moderately dynamic
- Left channel level The average strength of the left channel over the whole recording (“RMS”), counted in dB below the loudest level a digital file can hold (dBFS). More negative means quieter. Compare it with the right channel.
- −16.8 dBFS
- average (RMS) over the whole file
- Right channel level The average strength of the right channel over the whole recording (“RMS”), counted in dB below the loudest level a digital file can hold (dBFS). More negative means quieter. Compare it with the left channel.
- −16.8 dBFS
- average (RMS) over the whole file
- Channel balance The left level minus the right level. Close to 0 dB means both sides are equally loud. More than about 1 dB and the whole mix leans towards one ear.
- 0.06 dB
- balanced
- Stereo width How strong the part that DIFFERS between left and right is, compared with the part they share. A very low number (-40 dB or less) means both sides carry the same sound - mono in practice. A higher number means a wider stereo picture; a very high one can sound thin on a single speaker.
- −11.8 dB
- ordinary stereo
- Cover art in the file Whether a picture is stored inside the mp3 itself. A player shows it as the album art when the file is played somewhere else - in a car, on a phone, offline.
- Yes
ID3 tags Text stored inside the mp3 file itself - title, artist, album and so on. It is what a music player, a phone or a car stereo shows while it plays the file, and it travels with the file wherever it is copied.
Measured from the mp3 file on our server by the station’s own analyser. Point at a label, or select its question mark, for what the number means.
