Thanks. No matter how I try to get away from trackers and get into
using "real" tools, I always come back. I miss all the little things,
like almost sample accurate control of pitch, being able to see
everything at once and most importantly, not having to use the mouse.
Hello again, all.
A couple of quite different tracks, and the start of some
documentation on how I use trackers.

Now, back to work.

Great track, man. I always like your stuff. Pretty impressive what
you do with trackers. I don't have the patience for it; I was always
a step-sequencer man myself. You prolific types shame me for my inability to finish
a song. 50+
snippits of stuff sitting on the hard drive, and nothing to show.
I spent a long time having hardly anything I considered complete. I
still have to push myself to actually do the final listening,
tweaking, compressing, encoding and uploading.
I've always been the same with everything. Once I can see the end, I
lose interest. I'm the same with my research - I stop caring not when
I've done the hard bit, but when I realise that I can.
But then I realised that I really needed feedback. Having people
listen and comment on my stuff has made a big difference. So has just
knowing that people will listen to it.
