The biggest thing that I would want to implement would be for the effect editor to autosave when you leave it (scrolling down to 'save' is terrible).

It's nice that they keep a public record of everyone who signed out the carts and transfer devices.

That's a kinda silly mistake, but there is a lot of good information on the site about getting a development environment set up:

Re: Simple chiptune software? (9 replies, posted in Other Hardware)
If you want to go with a tracker (which I would recommend solely out of my love for them) then Renoise or Skale would probably suit you best (they both have VST support).

FT2 help says which commands are Protracker compatible, I think.
If not, yeah, only PT or PT-like commands are going to work. The conversion will be complicated, too. if you start using FT2 you might as well start using XM. Chances are you might do something in FT2 which is not compatible with MOD format and you will end up with a nightmare (this happened to me once, I still haven't finished one song that I started in FT2 because the conversion to MOD has been a nightmare.
Yeah, if I were you I'd switch over to XM. It'd be easiest.
However, if you really must stick with .MOD, then I recommend saving your song as a .MOD after inserting any command or envelope you think might not be compatible as it'll throw you a warning saying such.

It's in beta, I believe, so support might be spotty.

Re: Fast Tracker 2 in DOS Box + MIDI? (16 replies, posted in Other Vintage Computers & Consoles)
Thanks for the quick response, folks. My friend actually found a MIDI in patch for DOS Box and says he doesn't mind that it's a little flakey.
And to answer ne7's question, I just prefer FT2 to milkytracker. I've been using it since I first started highschool, so it's what I'm used to.

Topic: Fast Tracker 2 in DOS Box + MIDI? (16 replies, posted in Other Vintage Computers & Consoles)
Just asking this question for a friend actually (I've never found a need for a MIDI controller with a tracker).
So, I'm wondering if DOS Box has any support for MIDI-over-USB devices. He's got an Oxygen controller that he wants to use with FT2 but he's running it within DOS Box, will DOS Box be able to interpret the MIDI data and send it to FT2?
The other question he has is this: What midi hardware is available (recommended) for use in an actual DOS era tracking PC?

thats a pretty good idea.. maybe mp3 player with other ambient shits...
or tell some stage jokes.
Yeah, being comfortable on stage can really help if you have a mic. Crack a few jokes, chat up the audience and just show the audience that you're having a lot of fun, too.

Yeah but this is 2010, and we have automation now
It's just an example of how important it is to take a lot of care in automating your mixing levels and whatnot. We may have automation now but that just means that one person has to do the job of several (albeit, with computer assistance).

My dad ran a music studio here in Toronto for several decades and I can assure you that was standard operating procedure for big mixes.
