yakfak Posted May 4, 2016 voted for OpenMPT. I spent more of my life using Famitracker to be honest but I think of that period as a lost opportunity where I could have been making music that didn't wage direct war on teh eardrums 0 Share this post Link to post
Noiser Posted May 4, 2016 I started with Impulse Tracker, then Adlib Tracker II and Famitracker. ATII is my favorite because I found it more easy to set. For modern trackers, Renoise is (and probably always will be) my main DAW. I'm using it to make a entire album, without regrets. 0 Share this post Link to post
Remilia Scarlet Posted May 4, 2016 I've never used many trackers since I've needed access to VSTs. But I have been using Renoise for a few years now after switching from Sonar. It's definitely become my favorite DAW. 0 Share this post Link to post

JXC Posted May 4, 2016 Csonicgo said:No AdlibTracker? Adlib Tracker is not a general tracker. It is meant for OPL3 music. I'm looking forward to make songs with the program. I voted for DefleMask, but I also have Sunvox, Adlib Tracker, Goattracker, and Open MPT. 0 Share this post Link to post
lazygecko Posted May 4, 2016 FT2 won the interface wars, so I'm going with that. Plus it has Nibbles. 0 Share this post Link to post
Guest DILDOMASTER666 Posted May 4, 2016 I use Famitracker and Goattracker, but those are not general-audio trackers. I tried to use Fasttracker at one point, but couldn't figure out the interface. 0 Share this post Link to post
plums Posted May 4, 2016 Grew up on Impulse Tracker. Schism tracker is pretty much the only thing I use these days. (Not that I've made any music in some time.) I'm too used to the interface, other programs seem too cumbersome and slow. I've never heard of DefleMask before, I should take a look at it. Here's a song I guess: https://soundcloud.com/68k/stasis-chant The middle part with the synth lead is too long but other than that I was pretty happy with it. 0 Share this post Link to post
JXC Posted May 4, 2016 DefleMask is a tracker designed to make music for various vintage computers and game systems including NES. SMS, GB, C64, and PC Engine (TurboGrafx) 0 Share this post Link to post
hex11 Posted May 6, 2016 You forgot Scream Tracker 3, that's the only one I used to any extent. Pretty easy to get into, also other people I showed it to figured it out real quick too. There's a bunch of Adlib stuff also, like Reality Adlib Tracker. I didn't make music with it, but used their player library (or maybe 3rd party one) with Turbo Pascal (for cracktro and/or BBS intro type stuff). It was pretty simple as well.

Actually don't like anything that requires mouse. 0 Share this post Link to post
wildweasel Posted May 6, 2016 OpenMPT is pretty much the only one I know how to use...even if I basically only do stupid crap like this with it. I'm...not exactly a musical person. 0 Share this post Link to post

Remilia Scarlet Posted May 7, 2016 JXC said:Open MPT, Psycle (I think), and BeRo Tracker can use VSTis I remember looking at OpenMPT and it didn't quite have what I needed in terms of features. Psycle looks cool, but it has known issues with some VSTs I use (namely Reaktor, which I use a lot, both as an instrument and for effects; Absynth; and PPG Wave). It also doesn't yet support samples in FLAC format, which is a big deal for me. I couldn't find much info on BeRo tracker, but its interface looks a bit too limited for my workflow. I'll probably stick with Renoise since I'm very used to it, I like how it displays projects, and I already purchased it a few years ago :-P 0 Share this post Link to post
129thVisplane Posted May 7, 2016 I'm by no means a professional musician, but I like to play around with OpenMPT. Made a few tracks with it, it's pretty cool. 0 Share this post Link to post
JXC Posted May 7, 2016 Want me to create a new page so Famitracker, AdlibTracker II, and Scream Tracker become options? I have trouble deleting this poll. 0 Share this post Link to post
Varis Alpha Posted May 7, 2016 i've only ever used FamiTracker, and even then i've only made less than a handful of shit in it. something about the layout of a tracker just kills my work-flow when compared to a sequencer like FL Studio. i'm pretty sure that you're supposed to use MIDI keyboards with trackers to get even some remotely sane workflow into your projects. 0 Share this post Link to post
Koko Ricky Posted May 7, 2016 I've been a DAW user for years but I don't know what this stuff refers to (I use FL Studio and Reason, so I'm familiar with VSTs). Can someone enlighten me? 0 Share this post Link to post
yakfak Posted May 7, 2016 trackers traditionally have the vertical data view where you can see pitch, octave, patch and effect data all on one line. really information dense music tools. also entering pitch data direct from the QWERTY keyboard as standard 0 Share this post Link to post
