Music using ONLY sounds from Windows XP and 98!

Back


EDIT 4: Make sure you get this version of ModPlug Tracker:

That will install itself as a program, which you can start running from the Start menu, as you would with most other programs. ;)

A while ago, I made a VERY brief (sorry) guide for getting started with ModPlug Tracker, and at least getting SOME sound out of it.
It's at my site, here:

(Since that's a text file, it might be easier to read if you download it (right-click, Save Link or Target As) and view it in a text editor like Notepad.)

EDIT 3: Just to try to avoid me having to reply to every other comment which says that it must have taken me ages to make, or that I must've been bored:
This was just a way for me to pass a few hours of boredom. Yes, I WAS bored. No, I'm not trying to "prove" anything - that this is what I'm "capable of". I just thought I'd upload my music as a video here, to YouTube. I'm not the one who spread it around to Digg or random blogs, - I uploaded it here at YouTube some time back in December 2007 and it has only just "taken off", after all.

EDIT 2: I'm making the IT file be available now too, don't really mind any more. I guess I'm too busy working on new things (not mod music) to worry about the 'old' ones. :P
ごめん、翻訳はにくいけど、これからITファイルをダウンロードできるです。

EDIT 1: There's an extended version - please look at the end of this description text!
拡張版があります。このテキストの最後を見てください！

A piece of music I made using some of the various sounds Windows XP and 98 come with.

The music is about 1:31 long. After that, I show the sounds which were used.

The video is screen-captured from ModPlug Tracker, the program which I made the music on.

CBR (320 Kb/sec) EXTENDED VERSION:
If the extended version above gives you problems - such as cutting off at the end, because the duration was miscalculated (appears to happen with iTunes?), then I've made this constant bitrate version, as an alternative to the variable bitrate version above. This will fix the cutting off and miscalculation of the duration, but is a little unnecessarily large and is a little lower quality than VBR (but highest possible when using CBR).

@laydowninthegrass: These snare- and hihat-like sounds are the Minimize "whoosh"-like sound played at 4 or 8x, and 16x (respectively). I tried to show this by first playing it at its original speed (just before it's used as a snare/hihat) and then gradually speeding it up. Also, I show it at its original and faster speeds in the second half of the video.
