That'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.
looks like a typical early/mid 2000 website to me (and I agree with you)

#22Is 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.
I don't know about good, but there's modarchive.org. Pretty large and you can listen in the browser to see if you like it. I'd also say archive.org probably has some.

Looks like they let their SSL certificate lapse as of today (coincidence!)

#24If 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 )
What could be the chances of watching the video "Trackers: The Sound of 16-Bit" by Ahoy for 15 minutes while browsing HN and reading this message by coincidence?
I really love what Ahoy is doing, it's very well done and full of great information.

On a phone it's a bunch of boxes and the text is too small to see, so horses for courses I guess.
Re: MilkyTracker
#26Trackers 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 r…
sunvox is great. lots of modules to get funky with. in terms of sound it can be as clean or dirty as one needs.

Except for a bit small text on the top menu, everything else looks good on my phone.

#29Also of interest might be this 1:1 remake of FastTracker 2: https://16-bits.org/ft2.php. I’ve only played around briefly but it was exactly as I remember it!
FT2 was pretty much my intro to making music, it came on a PC Format magazine cover CD with a a bunch of XM/MOD files and it blew my mind that I could open up these songs and see how they were made!
I never got particularly good with it but had some fun making tracks with a friend, we later graduated to MadTracker on Windows which added some useful things like filters and effects. Buzz was the last tracker I used, really awesome modular tracker which sadly got mostly abandoned. I am a big fan of Elektron hardware which is pretty tracker inspired though!

#30Digging down, it seems to be implemented in antediluvian C++:
