Elektronic music: Creating Jungle/Hardcore tracks using a A1200 (video)
British producer and label owner Pete Cannon started his career in the electronic music business by creating tracks using Octamed 4 on an Amiga 1200. In a detailed demonstration for the Youtube channel "Sound on Sound", he shows how to use his A1200 - freshly dug out from his parents' shed - to create a Jungle track. The one difference being he's no longer using low quality samples generated using his Amiga or loaded from disk, instead he's controlling professional sample equipment from back in the day using MIDI.
