  Genre / Tracker (4 posts)

• Dave Smith-Hayes said 4 months, 1 week ago:

  Who's making what kind of genre in their tracker of choice? I know I use Renoise to a lot of breakcore/glitch, and MilkyTracker for some real chiptune style music. I just bought a LSDJ cartridge as well, and I love it. I'm not used to workflow as of yet, but it's coming to me.

  So what do you guys use? Or suggest to use when it comes to a tracker?

  I don't think trackers are in need to be bound to a musical genre.. maybe some make some type easier but it's still "just" a kind of layout & some specific techniques, so it doesn't really need to be tight to a musical genre.

  I"m using littlegptracker (coz I wrote it and therefore it was made to match my desire :) which inherits the interface & paradigms of LSDj, which is the most efficient way for me to write music.

  I wrote a small post on it recently if you're interested:

  looking forward to see where this group is going

  I use Buzz and Buzé for the sound design possibilities from th their modular machine views. Some of their plugs still beat commercial VSTs for me. The peer controls ( plugins to control other plugins ) allow some nice generative stuff too. I'm also keeping an eye on Nakalyne and some of the other "buzz clones".

  Milkytracker and Renoise for speed composing (Renosie when VSTis are needed of course)

  I have an LSDJ cartridge, and I have the piggy on GP2x and an old GP32, but don't use either that much (yet?).

  Milkytracker on Windows CE and Nitrotracker have featured on my commute.

  I keep ReViSiT handy for projects based around MIDI/DAW softwares.

  I really enjoy Renoise 2.1 because of the Rewire and JACK support. This is really handy for when I have a great idea in my tracker and I want to throw it into a DAW for further editing/looping/all that Jazz.
