I think modplug is decent. If you want one with more modern features, try Madtracker. It gets you VST and ASIO support, just like Renoise, though the interfaces of the two are completely different. Renoise is pretty freakin' fancy though. I'd say it is worth the 50 euros.

Oh right! Also, reduz just finished another tracker. Hooray! I played around with the beta, I haven't checked out the solid release yet, but it's a semi-IT clone, an oldschool interface I actually like.

Oh yeah. Modplug. I used that player when I had win95 installed , never tried the tracker. I'll try it out.

Chibitracker was beautiful, but I've never come to terms with Impulse-tracker. I'm more of a fast-tracker person.

I so fell in love with renoise's channel-bundling or... you know that thing. It's an awesome program, but sk@le-tracker was getting there.

*sigh*- maybe renoise worth buying after all.

It's a tracker that lets you write your own .nsf files.

I should really try to make a beginner's guide to chiptunes and post it in this forum somewhere. I might work on it when that xm-to-spc tool is done.

Wow! Excellent! I'm gonna try this out now. Thanks a lot for that tip!!! I love tracking interfaces.

I have tried it out now. Works great. Quite hard to make good drum-samples though.

And while we're on the topic, perhaps one of u know of any good trackers. I hoped for sk@le-tracker, but it seems down. I also liked renoise, except that it costs money.

[OCR01490 - Awesome "Game Over (Cheeze Mix)"]

Thank u all for the kind words.

I made this track simply because Awesome (together with the "Shadow of the beast"-series were all games I deliberately died in just to hear the game over tunes.

The original Awesome game had a certain eire-ness to it that I couldn't quite capture. And all in all I might have wanted this remix to be less reverbed and pretentious. But still, I'm quite happy with it, and is thrilled to see other people enjoying it.
