It's that time of year again, Christmas aproaches and I've created my Card design using a range of software on my X1000 and SAM.

Main design is done in SketchBlock on the X1k , with the final image being exported as EPS and then placed in to an A4 document in Wordworth 7 on my SAM (transfering the file using the new 68k NetFS) then that A4 is printerd to postscript and converted to a PDF using a script I wrote for ghostscript to create various sized "leaflets" (in this case 2 x a5). I printed of fthe first hard copy on my hp LaserJst Pro 200 this morning using my perl putto printet script.

The accompanying timelapse vide was captured using Frederik Wikstroms latest version of SRec and imported inot blender.

Sound track was composed in HDRec starting from a simple funky drum loop then adding acoustic bass recorded via the terratex phase 22 in my SAM (using a blend of DI via my line 6 Pod Pro and acoustic recording via my Rode NT4 condensor mic). I then layered rhytm guitar parts and lead on my Epiphone Rivieara Ant (335 style semi acoustic) recording the guitar acoustically as well as using a fender bassman based amp sim on the line 6. That gives it a more organic feel than you might get with pure DI recording.

I then bounced out the tracks as stems from HDRec inot Audio Evolution, redid the bass part as there were some slight timing issue with the first "composition take" aded an acoustic guitar rhythm layer, and mastred it taking advantage of the autmation that AE4 has for createing a good fade outs etc.

Exported as AIFF that was then transfered back to teh X1k for adding into the blender sequancer, where I made small adjustsmenst to to start and sto frames and rendered out to mpeg 2.

At this point I was forced to go linux as youtube upload doesn't work so well from Oddity on the X1k, so FTP the video file to my laptop with PFTP and upload with chrome.

Now editing this post in OWB (reaction) on my SAM, the font rendering is superior on sites where it works, so prefer to use it than Odysey when possible.

Final video:

and I just put all the XMas card videos I've done inot one playlist so you can see how SketchBlock etc has evolved over time....

Very cool Andy. Thanks for the new video and all that you did using your Amigas. Very nice :)

@Andy
Good to see how your initial bold attempts about making decent painting app materialized and still progressing.

We have not so many talanted ppls left, and when i see that someone play blues proffesionaly, can draw proffesionally, can code the same professionaly and have motivation to be active, and use his talants in progressive, then i start to remember what attract me on amiga 25 years ago: that was not only machine itself, but probably ppls whos reassons and work i like. More of Andys pplz ! :)

Keep that up!

Pretty good.

I haven't been on my A1XE for a while, even though I lurk on the various forums most days, but you've tempted me to download and give it a whirl.

Very nice. Well done
