favorite tracker software?
category: general [glöplog]
In the interests of not-entirely-idle curiosity, I'm wondering what folks' favorite tracking softwares are and why. Non-silly answers appreciated.
sports tracker
AHX <3
FastTracker2. Instruments, interface, nibbles, will load in massive samples without batting an eyelid and even offers to split stereo ones, wav writer (at the time), practical effects list, tempo 6 sync'ing correctly to standard midi timing, sensible amount of channels.
oh and Hively <3
synctracker
Schism Tracker for me. After leaving Impulse Tracker behind I did give Modplug and Renoise a serious try, but didn't really get to grips with their interfaces despite the features. Finding Schism felt like homecoming in that sense.
OpenMPT. Not only because I code it :). I already loved it before I joined the development teamit, because of its native interface, the great pattern editor, good sample editing capabilities, VST support etc. and now that I code it it's 1000 times better. :D
Milky Tracker because it behaves like Fasttracker 2 :D
For demos: synctracker. For music: .. does anyone use trackers anymore?
Buzztracker. Still and raw.
Renoise FTW :P
gloom, are you kidding?? 80% renoise, 20% logic here.
*cough*gnu rocket*cough*
I always come back to Protracker 2.3x and Fasttracker 2.9 .. so there.
I use mainly Renoise, Protracker and Milkytracker.
But I love all trackers! Trackers are awesome tools! :)

impulse tracker is still my favorite. every time i've used milkytracker i've been close to going freakin' insane but then again i've never been a fan of the whole ft2 thing.
still, i don't really use trackers for anything anymore.

xerxes: I guess I didn't consider Renoise to be a tracker, but yeah, comment withdrawn. :)
AHX and more recently Renoise are my favourites :)
@gloom: 19 entries in the BP "unofficial" tracked music compo was pretty unexpected and good :D Trax0ring is certainly still alive, also it's weird how its been falling into the hands of non-sceners (like homebrew game devs for things on stuff like NDS etc) recently.
gloom, i figured :)
i worked in FT2 and MPT (not OpenMTP), but have always loved Scream Tracker 3, though never made any good tunes with it.
For just general tracking purposes I can go with anything except OpenMPT, but I prefer the FT2 clones. For actual music making I'm currently using Renoise, which is <3
Buzz ruined my productivity.
FastTracker2 was my favorite back in time, my current favorite being Renoise.
