Actually, I do. Then again, I'm not much of a music person at all.

Honestly, not I. I always get annoyed by the high volume so I turn it off. And it's rarely I play with normal sounds either, most often I have winamp runnin'

I have all sounds turned off, and I don't think they were ever on
Sometimes I listen to some mp3's & ogg's when playing.

Yes, I turn mostly the musics off and also the nasty spaceship and bug loop sounds too.
Maybe their volume could be halfed ? (I mean 1/2)

Well this is handy to know, because making music can take a a long time..

A shame some of you switch soundloops off (that's the yamyam's fault IMO), as you might of missed some things, like the boss tunes...

Well, in BD2K3 I had all sounds and musics on. The music was perfect, and the sounds too. But now if I play BD2K3, I turn the music off, since the music was only played on the left side ! (Bad soundcard)

>since the music was only played on the left side ! (Bad soundcard)

Yes, it did that for me in Win98 with SBLive, but is OK for XP.

I think Mod music is the way to go now! A nice cross between MP3 and Midi (in a way). It will sound the same for everybody, but will still be a small file.

I used to use Screamtracker a long time ago (Win3.1 days) for making mod music, but it doesn't work in XP..

You mean tracker modules? Like 4-channel Protracker module?

Yes, but I think ST was 16 channels.

Not sure about nowerdays, anyone know a good win32 sequencer?

ST was 4ch as well. And I don't know any win32 module creators (are there any?).

I have made tunes in ST with more than four channels... mayby a different version?

Google for "tracker" or "soundtracker" and "windows" -- that should give you a whole bunch of software to create "tracker" or "MOD" style music files (never tried that on Windows, though.)

I only know the Mother Of All Trackers, the Amiga "SoundTracker" by Karsten Obarski in 1987.

Maybe also have a look at http://www.soundtracker.org, excerpt from that page:

Oh yes, the golden days of homecomputing... :-)

Me also knows only the modules created in Amiga trackers, thus 4ch limit
(there were more channels e.g. in DigiBooster, but either by emulation or on soundcards).

Hello
If you looking for a good win32 tracker/sequencer try ModplugTracker

thanks aze, this is exactly what I'm looking for
