Wow, it's interesting that some of you really seem to use tracker.Whom of you is actually using programs like that?  |
probably a lot more people than you may think..
most used trackers nowadays are ReNoise, Skale, MadTracker and ModPlug Tracker.
The first three can run under Linux via emulator or directly (Skale).
They are much more advanced than old Amiga trackers (ReNoise, for example, has VSTi support which is close to 100%).
If you're interested, search for them on Google, or listen to my songs made in ReNoise on this site |

Trackerz......
Aint they the best?
I´v been working mostly in reason lately, but now start to miss the good old tracker days. I cant say any other progg that gives you such flexability that a tracker does.
Fasttracker though seems outdated, even though i love it. Madtracker 3 will be heavy i think, looking forward to that! And Renoise, well, the once who use it like it from what i´v heard, and are even paying for it  (& thats not usuall, with any kind of computer program, and deffinatly not for a tracker....

Yes I also agree with Wiseman, trackers are far more flexible than any softsynth Ive ever seen, hehe, did you guys know that you can actually define parameters in FT2 that will hang it while playing your song?
Try putting a sample with a note on the tracker, then raise the note with 1FF until the note goes off the scale BAM! no tracker left!
(a word of warning though, don´t try to do this with a song you made since the tracker will most likely screw up your song)
But back to the topic at hand , I too love the way the new trackers seem to work , only problem is that they all are too clumsy to work with IMHO.
Looking forward to Skale however, seeing as it is nearly a 100% FT2 clone

FT2 has also an undocumented command, and there is also a way to "reset" from the bottom the pitch, instead of letting it crash.
This odd bug has been used by me in my song "Distortion of Distance" on 2001 (discovered by NeuRoTiX).
In the middle part you can hear a microtunal section which has been made with it.
This works properly on FT2 only if you listen to the song from the start. The bug was supported by XmPlay (because I was the its main betatester at that time ) and, surprisingly, by Linux's SoundTracker in one of its recent releases. Was it done on purpose? 
there are a lot of other hidden bug/features on FT2, like for example the forever loop.
Anyway I agree that trackers are the most flexible composition tools: I've said this for years and now that I'm using ReNoise I'm even more convinced of this.
There is no other composition tool type which has let people compose such different, innovative and fringe music, from metal to dance, from classical to contemporary. |
