quoted 2 lines can you guys explain trackers a bit more? so they don't involve software>can you guys explain trackers a bit more? so they don't involve software >use.....? or....? sorry! thank you
Nope, still software. Based on sampling and sequencing those samples directly, without any midi. Somewhat tough to get into based on the hex code used for most of it, but once you get into the mindset properly, they're pretty slick for bangin' out tracks. Obviously since they're sample based they work much better for percussion than melody, which is also why most of the artists mentioned as tracker users are much more complex with their percussion than with their (rather simple) melodies. derek --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
