fair enough!

just for future reference: this isn't a thread asking if there are trackers for OSX, this is specifically about the lack of certain keys that are really important to trackers on mac laptops

just thought i should bring this up for the admins / mods etc

get outta here man

I think Nintendo Breakz is public domain by internet standards at this point. You can download it a bunch of places so I'm not gonna worry about getting it to people.

Next up is the first Winter Camp EP, then My Little Peach, then back to digging around on my old laptop.

I started adding more of my older stuff to my bandcamp page. Now available:

Saskrotch - Exploding Head Disease - Free
An EP I wrote in one week for Project168 which seems to have completely disappeared. Written in Reason 3.0, used it as an excuse to start learning FM synthesis.

shame_boy - Drifting Through Space - Free
An EP I wrote in about 6 hours in LSDJ to give credibility to a troll account I had on 8bc.

Various - Surprisey Tin Boxes / Happy Ending Remixes - $3+
14 track remix album of my two big "myspace hits" (whatever) from back in the day. It's the two originals, remixes by me, Kkrusty, BSK, Fighter X, Albino Ghost Monkey, Oxygen Fad, Swampyboy, Hobert Europe and Restart.

Winter Camp - s/t - $2+
The first LP under my side project name Winter Camp. Acoustic guitar, beatboxing, some light breaks, recordings of the wind run through resonators, thumb piano, Soundedit 16, and zero experience with writing in Ableton. You can hear I had no idea about the way Ableton warps loops, because I recorded everything into SE16 without a metronome or anything like that. Probably the most experimental thing I've ever done.

edit: i read a forum it said "The help key on a Mac keyboard is actually the same key as the insert key on a PC keyboard." other forum say fn-m with numlock off or 0 on the numpad with numlock off (does a laptop have a numpad or numlock i dunno

yeah, the laptop has a number pad in the middle of the keyboard, that only works when the numlock / fn buttons are used. it doesn't do anything in renoise, in milky it opens up a "select instrument" window.

i didn't even know macs had a help button, which the little short cuts thing in system preferences says is command-shift-/ (which doesn't seem to do anything but highlight the help menu).

oh awesome! still looking for an insert key though. some sites said that fn+return = insert, but it just uses it as enter.

So I've got both a netbook and a macbook, I do most of my tracking on the netbook and the more intensive DAW stuff on the macbook. I'd love to do more tracking on the macbook, but I have no idea how you're supposed to use one, since there's only one delete button (which works the way backspace does on a PC, moving everything back one step), and no insert button. Just wanted to see if anyone had a way around this, since only being able to do backspace style deleting means you definitely need an insert key to push everything back up a step.

There's only like 4 songs though?

also NES games were usually programmed to take over a channel as SFX were playing and then go back to the song. kind of a waste to leave out a pulse channel for that.

well this turned into a real shit show

good work everybody
