Podcast episode profile for 7. JUST TAKING IT CHILL
Today we're just lounging and remember the first times. It was magical the first time you felt her in your hand. … What are you thinking about?? I mean the Amiga and the C64! DJ Daemon speaks about the first time seeing a module played on Noisetracker and when he directed Seagreen BBS users to his BBS. And then, the question is how you shouldn't really wear a mask in Corona times. Obviously it's just a thing we have to get used to. Random thoughts and some really nice tunes.
ericade.radio knows the chiptune and demoscene! We're the radio station playing all the best tunes from the most prominent, promising or trending artists in the scene. We also know about the artists and songs as well.

DJ. Yeah a little bit of memories. The Commodore C64 came out in 1982 and the Amiga 500 in 1987 and I remember when I saw the Amiga 500 for the first time. It was at a friend's house. He lived a few blocks away in pretty little suburbia called Mälarehyden in southern Stockholm.Yes, and it was a marvel to behold the first thing he showed me was this thing called noise tracker or Soundtracker. I don't remember what it was, but I saw those you know moving Bars that you have when in when the songs are playing and I immediately fell in love with the modules the Amiga mods and At that time I didn't have anything that cool. So I just wondered I want an AmigaBut I had to wait until 1990 before that happened.
Amiga - chip saa det basker
DJ Daemon speaks.

So the Baskerville I think that's some kind of Scandinavian It's not Swedish at least could it be Norwegian could it be Danish have no idea my first computer was a Commodore 64 and I had it as late as in 1989 I think it wasAnd I absolutely loved all the games, the intros, the demos, everything that I had. But as I didn't have a modem, I couldn't download anything new. So it was this kind of swapping thing where you just swapped the diskettes with the people on your own street in the neighborhood. Actually, I have always been under the idea that the Commodore 64 never had a virus.The viruses were very common on the Amiga and PC. But yes, someone made the very interesting effort in actually creating a fully functioning virus for the Commodore 64. That's a thing.
Amiga - disco
DJ Daemon speaks. 18
full disco mode here on the Amiga station, the only real Trueblue Amiga station in the world. But then again I'm not sure because I haven't googled for it.
Amiga - C64MEMRY
DJ Daemon speaks. 46
Christmas 1990. Well, it was when I got the Amiga 500, my first really real computer. The C64, it was a cool machine, but the Amiga, it was something else. You could do a whole lot more with it. So I spent my first Christmas flying flight simulators and for the first time in my life, getting acquainted with something such as a Windows system.not Windows of course, well Workbench 1.3. And this Amiga still stands on my table in my living room. Still works, have you know.

Amiga - sidvoyage
June 1 1994, yeah, I was sitting in the living room of a friend of mine. His name was Niklas Sjögren. He was actually one of the principal members of EvaCUE. You know that demo group we spoke about a few days ago in one of the podcasts. Well, at any rate,I had my Amiga 500 with me and the hard drive with my BBS. I had disconnected it because I wanted to have something to play games and demos on. He had his own BBS called Sea Green BBS and I asked him, hey, can I disconnect your BBS and connect mine? So what I actually did was that I plugged in my system and everybody came to my BBS.which led to a number of memorable moments when the user wondered what has this bbs changed name? Yeah, we also got a few users actually finding my bbs that way. So it wasn't half bad.
DJ Daemon speaks. 24
said voyage and I'm searching for some good comments here. Send me an email at radio at Eric K dot net and tell me what you like those podcasts. Do I speak too much too little too seldom or whatever? Just tell me I like to know.

Amiga - DECORE
I believe that Spike Jonze would have been a marvelous Amiga module artist. He used a sampler many decades before they were invented. And he made a song called I was a Teenage Surgeon. And I tried the thing today. Not the song, but I tried to look like a surgeon. because I wanted to, but because I had bought the wrong Corona masks. The two...are. The type 2 are. They are blue and makes you look like a dentist or as I said a surgeon. Well they also make sure that you cannot breathe. You can breathe but it feels like you want to rip it off because it's horrible. Then it also fogs your glasses because the exhaust air goes up under the glasses. yeah, legally blind I tried to well jump on the bicycle and I got myself to the Mall of Scandinavia here.As far as I know, I did not kill anything on the way and I didn't ram into something, which was a miracle by itself. I got in there, everybody was looking at that weird dude with a bicycle helmet and a surgical mask. I guess they would have thought about some guy with a knife from a slasher movie or something. But I got home and now I know one thing. There are better ways to protect yourself from the corona.
DJ Daemon speaks. 16
No encore, but a detour anyway. That's the name of the song. We continue with a firecracker, but we are a few weeks away from that anyway.
Amiga - FIRECRK

Amiga - as para goos (plus)
talk much about Atari in this station, probably because this is an Amiga podcast in an Amiga station. But let's, both the Amiga and the Atari had the phase that the home computer era ended in the early 90s. So that was the end. But whereas Commodore tried the CD32 and the Amiga 1200, Atari had another ace up its sleeve.The Atari Falcon. This one was a 6830 based machine and an Amiga 1200 killer. Well, I have actually looked at the specifications and while it is clear that the Falcon had a 16-bit audio card as opposed to the Amiga Polar 8-bit and it also was a bit faster with the 6830 CPU.By and large I would say the Amiga 1200 was the winner here Mainly because the graphics were better on the Amiga and Atari only developed and sold 60,000 Falcons before they actually closed shop and started doing other things But the Falcon is an interesting bird if I may say so and a very odd computer in some ways and maybe as odd as Commodore'sMFMS Commodore 65
Amiga - 1993
DJ Daemon speaks. 36
Asparagus that's the name of the song we're going on to 1993 1993 for all your Amiga freaks out there was the year we were waiting for the second coming of Commodore a thing that never happened We hoped and we said the Amiga is going to be alright. It's all gonna be alright. The Commodore comes back It's just a setback But you know yourself That was not the case

About the artist Amiga Flashback View all tracks ›
Started in december 2020, Amiga Flashback was the first name of "Flashback, tracks from the past". It features nice midnight DJ banter from DJ Daemon, interviews, discussions about retro-stuff and lots of tracked music. Most of it is Amiga tracked tunes. In May 2021, it was renamed and started allowing all kinds of tracked tunes instead of mostly Amiga ones.

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.
- 82.5 MB
- 86 539 112 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.
- 59:59
- 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.
- 192 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.
- −11.5 LUFS
- on the loud side
- 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.
- 4.4 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.
- 2.0 dBTP
- close to the ceiling - may distort on some players
- 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
- 9.8 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.
- −13.9 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.
- −13.1 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.
- 0.77 dB
- right is 0.8 dB louder
- 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.
- −4.6 dB
- very wide
- 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.
