Tracking / Re: What's your tracker / format of choice? And why?
« on: April 03, 2013, 14:52:49 »
It's hard to find the perfect tracker. They all have some kind of niggle:

Milkytracker - no effects, no VSTis
MadTracker - no undo
openMPT - uninspiring GUI
SunVox - no pattern follow mode for a whole song
Renoise - much more complex: steeper learning curve

My favourite is MilkyTracker, despite its limitations. Small, clean interface, everything right in front of you. Pretty colours.

For effects and VSTis I recently downloaded Psycle and I've been reading the tutorial on that. Very similar to Buzz but with the added bonus that it works on my computer. No niggles found so far...

MilkyTracker Tracks & Songs / flying apart
« on: January 08, 2010, 17:21:59 »
after an almost year long break, I picked up the tracker again. I never did finish a song before, but without having to learn the ins and outs this time I could just jump straight into crafting.

I'm starting simple, so it's st samples and 4 channels.

Criticism welcome.

Tracking / Tips on drum track
« on: March 31, 2009, 14:49:35 »
Inspired by the Tips on Melody thread. When I'm trying to compose a song, I'll have an idea of the kind of drum beat I want to go with it, not just an idea of the beat, but what type of drums too. I'll have quite a clear sound in my head of how I'd like it to come out, but I can never get close to representing it. I think my problem is I'm trying to jump in at the deep end and make advanced loops like those I've heard from commercial songs. I need to scale back and learn the basic of basics about composing a drum loop. To compose a drum loop first and then fit a song around it. Then once I've mastered this art I can be more flexible later on.

Do you have any tips or rules of thumb on creating drum loops?

Also, does anyone here use single samples containing full drum loops? I didn't think this was the done thing - using loop samples - in Tracking, but whilst dissecting some modules I found this is exactly what Andrew Sega had done. What's your position on this?

MilkyTracker Tracks & Songs / Re: My longest track to date

Thanks for the help.

I've been sidetracked lately but hopefully I can start tracking again soon. Good to know it's not just me that thinks I'm progressing.

MilkyTracker Tracks & Songs / My longest track to date
« on: March 10, 2009, 15:51:16 »
After 2 months of on and off tracking I still find it really hard to commit myself to a single idea or melody, to lengthen and elaborate it. Here's what I've managed so far.

Okay I finally Got it! I managed to reproduce my own version which sounds pretty much the same as your edit.

Thanks for the help.
