I haven't been around this site lately and am somewhat out of the loop!
Who here is currently making tracks with AT2? I'm curious to hear some new songs from peeps. I'd love to hear what you got!!

Now that there's a windows executable for it there's a high probability I'll actually finish some tracks.

Nice! the windows executable hopefully will get more people on board as well.. And in the future I hope to get enough people making AT2 tracks, so we can put out an album of sorts... showcasing the almighty powers of ADLIB TRACKER II !!

I still don't get it, and the fact that my Libretto is refusing to run AT2 pisses me off enough not to use it.

Definitely still interested in it. Messed with it in DOSBox and I really liked the workflow. I might try to get a lappy that boots straight into it.

I recently inherited a beat up laptop with an ESS Maestro 2 SB-Pro compatible card, which I managed to get running AT2 and then crashed the shit out of. I'm trying to repair it on and off in my free time now. The ESS Maestro 2 doesn't sound as good as the real thing, but it runs the tracker and sounds better than the emulation in the 2.4 SDL, in my opinion. Its harsher tonality actually began to grow on me; one would have to make different patches and treat it as a different instrument from a proper OPL3 to get the most out of it. I regret taking it for granted before I toasted my first Win98SE install on it. 
I got the bug pretty bad from that experience, and now I'm experimenting with getting a YMF724 card working in legacy mode on a newer and more stable desktop system. The caveat here is that for legacy mode to work properly, your PCI motherboard has to have the correct "PC/PCI Link" or "SB-Link" header. I'll be looking for one of those soon.
None of this makes me a good musician though. However, it does mean that I'm actively researching the platform and will be trying to express myself with it in the foreseeable future.
If I figure out the YMF724, look forward to some more detailed information from me about its use with AdLib Tracker II and FM Trackers in general.
EDIT: If I get the YMF724 working, I'll have the complete MIDI implementation of AT2.4 set up. Hopefully, this happens soon and I can report back.

I had no idea what I was doing at first either. You just gotta mess with it for hours and hours and hours and hours!

Well, I managed to fix my Win98 / ESS Maestro 2 laptop, so until I get my YMF724 pumping out the real Yamaha sound, I get to do exactly that.
