Back in the days - late 80s and 90s - computer nerds sometimes liked to show off their skills in programming / design and, of course, music. If you were a member of a demo crew, you were part of the
demo scene or just
the scene.
Music was usually made with software music sequencer programs called trackers. The songfiles were called mods, short for "modules". Me and my friends had our own demo group in the 90s called illithid and I was the most productive crew musician. I've spent countless hours with good old fasttracker 2 first released in 1993, developed by the demo group Triton, which was my program of choice.
Behold Fasttracker 2 in all it's old-school glory!
I've pretty much given up on tracking since those days, but modern trackers like Rebirth are still being developed and I thought maybe someone else on these forums are into this as well - or used to be? If so, reveal yourself and give us a sample of some of the music you've made
As I wrote, I've pretty much given it up, but my latest song is only a couple of years old. Using DOSBox, I could emulate Fasttracker 2 and made then a tiny chiptune at ~23kb and those who have winamp should be able to play it (although files played in Winamp don't always sound right). If it ends abruptly, it's because it was made to loop forever when played in FT2, but this might not be supported by other players.
Song :
Dirty Computer!
So .. Although not likely, are there anyone else?
