A while after posting this, I found out myself that it's not yet possible in this way, but thanks anyway

MilkyTracker Feature Requests / Re: more customizing

It looks like you just try to ignore his problem. I know that from other problems, People often have problems with small buttons as screens get larger. What about a "x2" mode which doubles the size of all gfx?

Tracking / Re: taketracker question
« on: October 17, 2007, 13:40:03 »
DOSBox and VDM are the only emulators that I can currently recommend. what's so bad about VDM? Is the sound quality low? Then try to edit the config file!
But I need some more inforamtion on what you think is "bad"...

Feedback & Suggestions / [Replied] Suggestion: "Searchable" Artist profiles

I think it would be quite handy to have a small search box on every artist's profile that allows to search tunes only made by this author. yes i know, this is already possible, but i think it would be very useful to have it below the artist's tunes list aswell. The search should link to the "normal search", but only list tunes by this particular artist.

Tracking / Re: What's within the realm of possibility?
« on: October 12, 2007, 12:58:29 »
Short Answer: Yes, you can compose music like that in a tracker.
Long Answer: Everything is possible in a tracker. It's just a question of skills and your setup. Modern Trackers support technologies like DSP or VST, just like those expensive sequencer programmes. You write your compositions in trackers as you write them in sequencers, there's just a different notation. However, to make it sound good, you have to optimize the output in both program types: Adding EQs to add bass or treble, adding reverb so your tracks don't sound too dry, adding compressors to avoid big differences in the dynamics. Even if you use programs that don't allow you to control this (like basic loop-based sequencers for all those beginners out there), the signal is still processed through this kind of effect processors.
Of course, the best technology can't replace skills, so it's good if you a basic knowledge about how audio works. You will need some of this knowledge when applying VST effects to your audio.
Don't try to fulfil all these requirements at once. I'm just getting into this VST stuff, using free VST effects, for almost a year now. My first tracks sounded poor of course, and so did Nathan Profitt's. Everyone develops and learns, this is very normal. So don't try to copy his style and his techniques but rather try to develop your own style and techniques. It's just a question of inspiration, endurance and will.
If you're new to all this, you can try ModPlug Tracker / OpenMPT. This tracker has a native Windows look, it's easy to learn for beginners but also suitabl fore semi-pros.
By the way, I don't understand why you think vocals are not possible in trackers. If you think like "I can't record Vocals in modplug, so i can't add vocals to my songs", then you would have to think like that about sequencers too. All you need for vocals is a voice (
) and a recording program (Audacity is a decent freeware program). Just record your voice with the recording program and load the wav files into your modules.
I hope, you can learn a bit from this article and don't give up It's all a question of practice. Listen to my tunes and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Look what I made! / Re: Saga Musix - Psy Rain
« on: October 11, 2007, 21:00:12 »
Thanks for the comment. After concentrating on the bass drum, i can agree that it does not sound too great, although the base sample (sample 2) seems to be very suitable for goa imho. i also don't mind monotonous beats and i'm prefectly happy with the changes in the bass drum and snare at the end of every second pattern

Remember, it's PSY Trance, it's not Tracne Maybe I should have written Goa instead of Psy Trance, aight?
