What nashikouen thinks about making music in trackers? ( ´ω`)
i have naut used a tracker other then renoise once and raaaaaaaaaaan. but my friend loves renoise and is good with it. he made breakcore and lolicore
I want to but I have no idea how they work....(;´Д`)
I love Renoise to death. I haven't made much music in ages.
>>4016 it's actually pretty simple! trackers almost universally work in the following way: * first, you set up some instruments, there will usually be a box in the top right corner where you'll have a list of them, you'd load instrument samples in here usually, or in Renoise you could pick a VST instrument, or in something like FamiTracker in the OP pic, you'd be able to edit things like volume and pitch over time second, you'll put notes into patterns with the keyboard, it's usually laid out in piano order, so Z/X/C/etc would be the white notes notes C/D/E/etc, and on the row above, S/D would be notes C# and D# as black notes * if you're in edit mode, pressing a note will put it where the cursor is using the currently selected instrument, if you're not, it'll just play the note on the speakers * lastly, you'll arrange those patterns in the order list, which just lets you control the overall order of the patterns in the song you'll usually go through those steps out of order a few times, but you need instruments to make patterns, and you need patterns to order them into a song for a more concrete example, in Renoise, those three steps would be: * I'd drag in a .WAV file as an instrument (area 1 in pic), selecting the next instrument in the list and dragging in another, until I have a few instruments * I'd then put some notes down in the pattern (area 2). Esc toggles edit mode. * I'd then use the order editor (area 3) to make a new pattern so I can add more to the song. There's a "duplicate pattern" button that's usually pretty useful since you don't usually want to completely change everything every 4 bars worth of music. I'd repeat those steps until I was done, adding/changing instruments, editing notes, and ordering patterns around. There's more stuff in Renoise, like DSP effects and instrument automation and the lot, but those aren't needed to get started. download the Renoise demo, it's free and the only thing missing is .wav export you can get around that by either uploading your .xrns song or by using Audacity or something to record your speakers if you aren't willing to pay $75 -- if you actually find yourself liking it, I'd say it's more than worth $75, but there's no reason to blow the cash yet on software you don't even know if you'll like using
old openbsd youtuber is doing music stuff and just made a video on a tracker he found! OpenMPT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpTW3D_WUco
>>4020 Hmm yes, I read this thread, watched a few tutorials and then put out this:
>>4054 I've just been playing around with the sample editor though, haven't gotten around to the instrument editor...（⌒∇⌒ゞ）
