A commodore C64. even though it may limit a bit more on the memory and etc...

writing music on a C64 is normally a completely different approach as you program a synthesizer and not a sampler, so memory is not important there.

nice to know.

when i get one, less to learn

thankssssss

Well, to get that typical C64 Sound, you can use an other Option too:

A Tracker for the C64 as a .d64 file and a C64 Emulator. I don't know much about that, startet only Huelsbecks Soundmonitor a few Times and listened to the Demo Song/s, etc. - and i don't know, how to create a .sid file from that, what you create e. g. in Soundmonitor on the C64.

For the Amiga Part: same thing here: Get Soundtracker, Protracker or whatever Tracker you like and a Copy of (Win)UAE and the Kickstart File/s from Cloanto or a Real Amiga 500. And don't forget the rom.key file.

.sid files are no modules but basically they contain executable code (a playback routine) for the C64.

old school is very much still alive in my mind..I personally use 8bit in some creations vs. 16/

8-Bit sampels certainly don't make a track more oldschool than it already is. It's funny, "back then" when people were only able to use 8-Bit samples on their Amiga, people actually tried to get the maximum quality out of their samples, so that the lack of dynamic range would actually not be noticable - and nowadays, people intentionally create "bad" samples that often don't even sound as good as those old samples...
