If anyone wants to dive into the history of trackers, I highly recommend this documentary (and all of his other ones) by Ahoy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roBkg-iPrbw)

Re: MilkyTracker
#12I love MilkyTracker for its minimalist Amiga tracker-esque experience, but have been frustrated by its instability on macOS. You really do have to save your work very frequently in order to avoid losing it so I've found myself gravitating towards Renoise, even though it's paid and - very recently - Deflemask (I also like that it supports SID tracking, which is what I've been playing with).
As a ReNoise user of many, many years you will not be disappointed.

I’ve seen hardware ones being used, though didn’t understand what they were.

#14Are there good browser based trackers (with WASM)?
Bassoon tracker is really well made and fits the bill (though not with WASM I believe): https://github.com/steffest/BassoonTracker

#15That's an amazing looking website. Best I've seen in years and easy to see and reach a lot of information. I wish the internet would be more like this.
Re: MilkyTracker
#16Might as well link Deflemask if we're sharing trackers we like. https://deflemask.net/
If you remember Impulse Tracker (DOS), schismtracker is a modern day clone:

Re: MilkyTracker
#18Trackers like MilkyTracker, OpenMPT, and Famitracker are trying to mostly enable people who use trackers to continue writing music for specific formats (and the specific limitations of those formats).
There are much more modern trackers as well. As far as I know, the absolute state of the art is Renoise. There are some other alternatives like SunVOX.
The downside of the modern trackers is that you very much have to replay the songs in the tracker themselves, with all of the same plugins and settings. The older formats have lots of playback targets and tend to be very resource light for a very good sound.

#19Is there a good library of mod/s3m files? The first time I heard Metallica's "The Call of Ktulu" was an s3m file that did a really good job sounding like the original, I've been looking (very casually) for that file for a while now.

#20I've played around with MT a lot, but I can't do music in any program.. But there is this one that shipped with it, Raina - Slumberjack, which is just amazingly beautiful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnrHH_Sy1_k
