Hard to say, really. It always turns out that people have quite different taste in music editors. :-)
But perhaps Goattracker might be something.
SDI editor
JCH editor
John player
etc
etc
The list is quite long. :-)
Wait a bit and see what other people recommend.

The first two ones mentioned by Jeff does indeed seem to be the two most mainstream ones in these days, so try those and see if you like them. They are certainly capable of spitting out some nice sounds and tunes, so its not like you are missing out on something if you go for one of them. Both are still somewhat maintained, which may be a benefit in case you run into some weird bug. Never used any of them myself though (although I have some vague memory of having a quick look at a quite early version of SDI some day quite long ago by now). JCH used to be quite popular, but I can't say that I know many people that still use it. John Player is kind of nice, but more limited. |

In the end, the results aren't solely dependent on what editor you use. |

Thank you all I will try using Goattracker to makes some sounds first and eventually some music! http://supersole.net/blog/post/99-learning-goattracker-2-patter..

goattracker, in its current form, may not be straightforward enough. i would recommend starting with odintracker instead. even if just for the sake of practice (huge rastertime & memory usage). if it wasn't for that application, i would probably never make any c64 music, so there.
Odin Tracker 1.13
but of course, if you're smart enough to begin the adventure with goattracker 2.69, go for it. and thank god it exists. |

The built in help in GoatTracker (F12) is invaluable. I guess OdinTracker is easier to learn, but the results are much worse, and I don't really know how much C64 specific knowledge you can carry over from OdinTracker to other editors. |

If it's not important to you to do your music on real hardware, I would go with Goattracker. Jump into the fire instead of dancing around it. |

Learning a tool that youre not gonna use in the end, coz frankly, odintracker is completely useless, is surely a waste of time :D |

Jan: I wasn't going to use future composer, soundmonitor,rockmonitor or other shitty editors later either, but did start with those aswell as others :-) |
