| Hi Chris and CS_TBL, Thanks for your kind replies. It sounds like my sneaky idea of trying to bypass learning trackers isn't going to happen ! I'm actually looking forward to it really  So, my next questions would be : 1. The game is using FMOD, and I think the developer is flexible in file format. So anything that works with FMOD should be ok I guess ( including .IT ). Bearing that in mind, is there a particular tracker you would suggest for a total newcomer like me, who has a significant background in MIDI sequencing but no real background in tracking ? Modplug looks good in that it seems very windows dialog-esque. It would be good for me to be able to input notes via a MIDI keyboard really. However is there a "leading tracker" which I should just bite the bullet and learn ? Renoise ? 2. I wondered what you thought about this as a workflow method : - Creating songs in Nuendo, with my usual process - using conventional VSTi samplebanks. - Exporting my own samples/instruments from those samplebanks once Im happy with the arrangement and mix - Recreating the songs in a tracker This would suit me quite well I think as I am very fast and flexible in a conventional sequencer and could respond very quickly during that stage to client requirements, but then once agreed could export everything in small granular parts and put it together in a tracker again.. does this sound feasible ? or are there any fundamental stumbling blocks there too ? One key factor in this title is the filesize - the total music budget ( for over 30 x 2min repeating levels ) is 4Mb. So I expect I would have to keep my samples very small. Thanks again for your kind help. Dizzy | |||

Developer Posts: 746 Location: England | Hi Dizzy, 1. Well, the "leading tracker" is obviously reViSiT...  ... but Renoise is also good, and somewhat more established. It follows the Fast Tracker-style, which has an alternative school of interface design to reViSiT (which is more of the Impulse Tracker-style). Like reViSiT, however, I believe it cannot save in older file formats. ModPlug is somewhere in the middle, supporting both file formats and offering a perhaps more familiar Windows-style interface - but many customisable settings that can bring it closer to that of other trackers. It can save in older formats, so I think this is the one for you. I was under the impression that most modern trackers support some form of MIDI note entry, but I'm no expert. 2. I'd say that was a good way of getting into tracking. You should find you'll be able to encapsulate your sound in a tracker module, and then you'll have a platform to discover what trackers can do on top of that. Your second step has been part of the standard workflow for a long time - tracker users would often write with MIDI synths, then sample them as tracker-based sample instruments, to make the song portable for release. 'Good luck! Chris | ||
