Wanted: A Tracker That Doesn’t Suck

So I e-mailed my buddy Coplan (the guy behind SceneSpot) about a thought I had.

I’m finally annoyed enough to do something about this. I really want to write some music again, but I’ve got so much I need to do before I can. I’d love to have a modern tracker for Linux or preferably MacOSX. Here’s what I wrote:

I’ve got something either for you to put in Static Line, or for your demo group, if you want something to work on… =)

Until you’ve heard a pair, it’s really hard to describe just how incredible the sound is. I’m going back and listening to some of my favorite recordings, and hearing things I had no idea were there! It’s really amazing. Go look for some reviews on the net, and you’ll see that pretty much everyone agrees. They’re hard to beat. I’ve been listening to music pretty much continuously since the ride home. =) Speaking of music, over at the Very Big Blog, I see that Duran Duran has gotten back together and is recording another album. I had started out long ago listening to them just . . . → Read More: Back in the USS… uhh, I mean, Raleigh
