I'm happy to hear that Yury is continuing ST's development.
Sorry, what do you mean by "dismissed
software"?
He probably refers to the fact that the main developer does not mantain
the program anymore. However there is a guy (Yury Aliaev) who
contributed bugfixes and who's writing a gtk2 port, so the project isn't
dead. The gtk2 port can be found here: http://metamorph0sis.nm.ru/
I had a great time with soundtracker and used it a lot
in the past, but
the fact that it doesn't support jack (at least not reliably) kind of
discourage its use...
Kai Vehmanen wrote a patch that gave it rudimentary JACK capability, but
I think the patch won't work with current JACK versions. Don't quote me
on that, I haven't tested it recently. Maybe Kai can be persuaded to
update it for Yury ?
I really don't grasp cheesetracker as I come from
fast tracker and you
know, impulse tracker vs. fast tracker was a sort of religious war like
emacs vs. vi :)
Happily, I can use both. CT is a very nice tracker, but like yourself I
simply prefer ST. However, CT does have some cool features I'd like to
see in ST.
soundtracker is a great program, and I sincerely hope
one day it would gain
jack support and jack_transport features. This would put it back "on the
road again" in my setup.
++agree.
Trackers may seem a thing of the past, but as James
Shuttleworth has
repeatedly proved on this list (BTW great music, James) they can be
great tools for music creation.
Tracking may be in partial eclipse on Linux, but it's definitely alive
and kicking elsewhere.
Has anyone else on this list taken a look at SkaleTracker ? I like it
but the Linux version is incomplete at this point.
Cheers,
Ciao ! :)
