#12I graduated from Amiga trackers to a full fledged studio, with hardware mixers, synths, effect racks etc. And then, years later, back again to just a computer. Full circle.
I messed around with the Amiga trackers back in the day. When I look at the software available today, e.g. on my iPad, I have a hard time getting anything useful out of it. Which software are you using now?

SunVox is a fantastic modern tracker that runs on pretty much anything.

#15This takes me back!
But it feels kinda wrong to have that mouse cursor and have it not move perfectly smooth.

This isn't just some subtle implementation detail; the aliasing noise is obvious and IMO it's an important part of the sound. I personally like it, because it adds some extra high frequency content that would otherwise be lacking in many Amiga modules because of low quality samples. libopenmpt supports Amiga-style resampling with the render.resampler.emulate_amiga option. Although it's not documented in the man page, you can enable it in openmpt123:
openmpt123 --ctl render.resampler.emulate_amiga=1 amiga_module.modRe: Amiga Music Tracker in JavaScript

This bit made me go "wat" out loud.
> Additionally, it is possible to engage a low-pass 12 dB/oct Butterworth filter tuned at approximately 3.2 kHz by turning the Amiga power LED brighter with a special protracker command.

I personally have left trackers. They are fun but the learning curve! I use Waveform 9 from Tracktion. (Tracktion open sourced the engine and it works on Linux, Win and Mac.
This is the fastest DAW from nothing to something like a song, and for people just starting it has pretty much everything you need to make some kind of song. https://www.tracktion.com/products/waveform

#19This is great. I remember listening to Axel F, and attempting to make my own mods, but basically just changed the instrument samples.
This video is for you then:

#20Just for information, it just crashed on the Space Debris song for me (FF on linux), had to close my browser for the sample to stop looping.
Retried on chromium, no problem, and it's cool !
Bringing back memory from when I was a student :-)
I'm going to open an issue if it can help
