Renoise was the first tracker I really started using. It was a little different around 2007-2008, but for the most part it was ok for learning the basics of tracking and later on I started to learn about automation and stuff.

The only really confusing part is maybe mixing in renoise. You have to know about compressors and stuff and even today I'm simply trash when it comes to making songs sound nice and polished in renoise.

Me, personally, I'd say something like GoatTracker would be a pain to start with.

someone saw the smash bros documentary, huh?

basically.

definitely agree with this. sometimes creativity with music wanes and it's fine to take a break. not to say every time i've "taken a break" from music i've been afraid i'll never return to it. I always do, though. pretty sure the longest i've gone without making a song is somewhere around 8-9 months. But in that time I was just practicing guitar stuff and finding other creative outlets.

I definitely understand where OP is coming from in terms of college eating up a lot of time. Work eats up a lot, too. It's fine to have tons of little sketches and 4 bar loops lying around, though. They're good to come back to now and then with a fresh mind to see if you can expand them. I think that's how 90% of my songs are made anyways. Make a short loop, let it sit for a few months, come back to it later and try adding and tweaking shit around.

OP, you might want to try out other aspects of music, too. I've found that to help a lot. Switch genres, instruments, programs, trackers, whatever. A little variety never hurt.
