Hey, I thought it would be fun to take some time and talk about what we all use to make music/sounds/whatever it is we do with it.

The Tracker is great BUT it does have some quirks and limitations that still are frustrating because it is like 75% of the way there. For example, adding certain effects or parameters to samples (like chorus) are 'additive' and take a while- then if you don't like what you hear, you have to scrap the altered sample and start over again. So, there are some things that I'll say aren't great. But if you are into more dnb/glitch/EDM or any heavily-sample based music, it's totally worth looking into.

That's interesting about adding/removing effects and definitely worth considering. I would probably tend more toward loading my own samples but still relevant.

I have been drawn to the idea of trackers and have tried a few out (e.g. renoise, sunvox on android) because I'm a big fan of stuff like Venetian Snares.
