Kcirtap1990 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Which do you prefer using? (And why of course.) I prefer Soundfonts, mainly because thats all I know how to use. I tried trackers before and they just came off to complicated for me, I may learn to use them some time in the future, but at this time Soundfonts are me.

OverCoat Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 But you can use soundfonts IN trackers. Well, Modplug and Renoise. ...LOL But wait a second If you're just using soundfonts... what are you using the soundfonts WITH? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compyfox Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 omg favourites thread?! NOW THEY INFILTRATED THE REMIXING SECTION, TOO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Emp Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 While it is possible to use soundfonts in Modplug, this feature is not stable. I couldn't make some of the fonts work properly, so I had to rip the samples. I think when the module size reaches 300 Mb or so, the soundfont support gets messed up.

Kcirtap1990 Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 maybe you mean sequencers vs. trackers? Yes. To be quite honest, even though I have fooled around with remixing for about a year now I never accually really commited to it until about 3 weeks ago. So I am still new to the terms. But all I know is that this whole fooled around with year was being used with Trackers and their tutorials. I made no progess, I moved to Sequencers and I see progress every day.

Theowne Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I think most people would tell you sequencers. Trackers have served their purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I tried using them in FL. whoa, now that's different... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theowne Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I think most people would tell you sequencers. Trackers have served their purpose. They still do. They're just sideways [omg] Most composers have left trackers. There aren't many trackers in development today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaster Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Most composers have left trackers. There aren't many trackers in development today. Hehe.. quite the opposite. Though there's a lot of dead projects. The tracker scene is still alive and kicking.. In the late 90's you either used ft2 or it2. Nowadays you're spoiled for choice: aodix, berotracker, buzz, madtracker, milkytracker, modplug tracker, psycle, renoise, schism tracker, skale. Biggest are madtracker and renoise. Especially renoise turns some heads. They're catching up with traditional sequencers feature-wise and have equal sound quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theowne Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 haha no shit Do you just like playing devils advocate or something? "Trackers are over" "No they're not" "Yes they are" "haha no shit" ...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverCoat Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I wasn't really doing any devil's advocate stuff. You said trackers aren't legit pieces of music software anymore - I said "nope," then you said there were not many trackers in development today, I agreed but then Blaster makes a good point: aodix, berotracker, buzz, madtracker, milkytracker, modplug tracker, psycle, renoise, schism tracker, skale. Forgot about all those not to mention the specialty ones like NerdTracker and Mod2PSG and all those weirdo gameboy trackers. Though Schism Tracker is basically just Impulse Tracker with bugs, right now. There's not gonna be anything modernized about it either.
