[IndieWall]

Greetings.

Lately I have become interested in music production, and would like to know which trackers you would suggest. I have a preference for something that runs on Linux, but it is not an absolute, and a slight preference for something that produces .it, files, but that is just because I used Impulse Tracker when I was young. In fact, you should probably just ignore the latter.

A nice, modern tracking experience is what I am thinking, something that makes composing a little bit easier, if that is possible.

I would also like to know what you would suggest for making samples, or editing audio, on Linux. At the moment I am thinking GoldWave, and PhotoSounder. Both are good tools, but they are both Windows native.

If you're keen on using Impulse tracker there's a clone here that works on Linux: https://github.com/schismtracker/schismtracker

And also Renoise: https://www.renoise.com/

Also maybe Audacity (https://www.audacityteam.org/) could replace GoldWave ?

Renoise would be the go-to if you want fully modern features, but baked into an oldschool tracker interface. OpenMPT is also a capable choice and gives you the freedom to still create old formats.
