Oh trackers are cool yeah you can do great stuff if you push it and sharpen your skills People on the amiga scene used them a lot as well as some big names in Electronica / Dark Industrial I heard sometimes.

Nowaday however, most are using a sequencer such as VST, Cakewalk or Logic to write and record their tracks, and those people are having a hard time when you show them anold school tracker (including me) soyou sometimes get some really negative feedback about those... But trackers are cool

My latest experience with a tracker was when I was working on an Amiga machine, and an external "home made" sampling module. The tracker back then was Oktalyzer I think. It was not bad, however, as I have been trained in a classical music school, I prefer to write the notes on a horizontal timeline more than as "events" with numeric time.
