Feryl said it well, but especially if you're comparing yourself to others and feeling discouraged instead of motivated, don't compare yourself to others.

Re: LSDJ and Nanoloop mastered, where to go next? (32 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Not much, but for better or for worse that's the type of culture that's been built up here.
Anyways, like other people have said there's tons of options for different programs outside of LSDJ and Nanoloop, and a lot of them are nearly or totally free as well so if you want some more stuff to learn you could just go out and download them all!

Re: Current state of online chip music scene? (149 replies, posted in General Discussion)
I think the scene in general is still very supportive, it's just that the places where those people often hang out have changed so finding them again can be problematic.

Re: Acclimating to PC trackers from LSDj (20 replies, posted in Software & Plug-ins)
Actually, in all the big mod formats there are separate tempo and tick commands, so it is possible to manipulate them separately. I think you might be thinking of how tempo works on a C64 or something, where 'tempo' is bound to the refresh rate of the computer and the ticks are the real tempo.
If I'm understanding what you want to do correctly, it shouldn't be any different in a PC tracker (command-usage-wise at least, the commands themselves might work a little different), with the exception of having to copy-paste the tick commands throughout the pattern.

Re: Acclimating to PC trackers from LSDj (20 replies, posted in Software & Plug-ins)
I'm not sure about Famitracker, but most PC trackers have tick commands (Axx in s3m/it, Fxx in mod/xm) that let you specify a swing rhythm by alternating the number of ticks in each line, which can then be controlled by tempo. The only thing is that you'll lose a command column and have to copy and paste the commands over and over into each pattern since there's no speed tables in ModPlug, but that's not too tedious since you have a mouse.
