I'm also quite new to composing on the SID, although I've used trackers for 15 years (mostly Screamtracker 3, Impulse Tracker 2 and Renoise). I remember trying to compose on the C64 in the late 90's using Future Composer 4, but I just couldn't get creative with it. Seems I wasn't alone, when I read the last thread Mace linked to. :)
For now, I found out that using a combination of Goattracker 1 and 2 works best for me. Goattracker 1 is easier to get going with the tune and I love to be able to use the arpeggio-effect. Then in GT2, I can refine all the sounds to a greater extent (and it creates those arpeggio-wavetables and speedtables for me automatically) ;) |

The most straightforward ones I've seen so far were Odintracker, John Player, Music Studio 2 or the lil' bro' of GoatTracker: Ninja Tracker.
Are you new in composing in general or just with SID? |

I heard 'Voice tracker' has a REALLY good player routine! ;)
Polonus did a good job (and no I don't mind).

Quoting Jan Harriesso... where are the tunes ? :) I've only released Family Guy Theme so far. I'd rather release less and unique tunes than just lots of crap. :)

I find that each disadvantage has its advantage... Each editor tickles your creativity in a different way.
Of course I always stuck to music assembler, Afterall I was used to editing in length based mode and found that I never could really get to grips with anything tracker style. To each his own I guess.

99% of the stuff I done in 90s was in .DUR style editors. I have no I idea why I was so cruel to myself. Or if it wasn't still the editor was FC legacy (like HardTrack is, for example (marvelous player btw)) And yeah, I felt mostly annoyed by first attempts for anything on a tracker ....and now can't be bothered with anything else, really :D
It is as you say MC - everyone got to find an editor/player best for themselves.
Or even better - write own one!
(can't do that :P ) |
