2 Days ago early on made some loops in VirSyn so wanted to see if I could bring into old Fruity 2.7… Well sure beat sliced taking up a mile of channelbox good luck navigating that turning off/on note ticks as per pattern…
So tried Massiva 1.21 but difficulty with stability importing the loops as ‘ZEX’ files… Instability is the worst fault of all…
So remembered the ‘auto-synchro’ loop function of current Protrekkr (was in old NoiseTrekker as well, Thanks ARGURU!!) So easy as pie… Also much easier was using tracker spreadsheet compared to piano roll bungling & ‘singularity’… With spreadsheet one can align & quickly modify not only notes but events… I could go on…
Trying to get non-trackers interested in actual trackers is like monster truck pull against mt Everest but honestly I think many are too lazy to even learn their highly touted piano roll DAWs beyond the basics… I have had some say of trackers “That Matrix Code Shit Flying By Freaks Me Out Man!”…
Anyways after abandoning both Fruity & Massiva I made some headway in Protrekkr within just some hours a WIP and not ‘tracker music’ that the piano rollers like to call anything made in a tracker…
There’s no drums or perc in it yet as I always do drums last & much to go also seems the render is saturated a bit my old ears turning bad… BUTT! I never get this far in just hours in a piano roller for some reason… I also realize the stability of Protrekkr being a closed-in tracker with internal FX & all…
