N00B In Need |
 |
Hello,
I Love Techno/Electornica/Trance type of music, your program is awesome for that as i have heard some demo techno music made with Mad tracker 2 and i was wondering since i downloaded this yesterday where can i find a total n00bs guild on how to use the program as far as making music and everything.
i wanna start making music that sounds like one of the demos that is in Mad Tracker 2 called Troy1818 - Dead And Colorblind.
so can someone please point me in the right direction...
i have no experience at all with mad tracker or any music program for that matter lol..
Thank You!
Nick. |

Lol... well when i read this first, i thought you were kidding ...
But ... ok... but i think your aim is VERY ambitious...
So i don't want to discourage you, but to manage a track like
Dead and colourblind you need a lot of practice and experience  ... especially if you haven't worked with ANY music-programm yet .
Ok, but you have an aim... that's a very good base 
So first of all, you should become familiar with Madtracker ( or even tracker) to get an idea how they work.
The best thing to do that is (of course) reading manuals and tutorial you may find on madtracker.org
Then, load and listen to many, many mods you may find on the web (for example have look at http://modarchive.org/index.php or http://www.madtracker.org/music.php )
Ther you'll find a variety of different mods
Load them into Madtracker (or any other track) and have a carefully look at the commands to learn how they work
Maybe you should try Pro- and fastracker mods first, becaus madtracker mod often use automation for the effects and they are not always visible at the first sight.
this may result in... you hear an effect, but you don't now where it comes from, unless you don't have a look at the automation section ...
so imho for an "noob" it'S better to learn the "usual" tracker effects, as used in Pro- or fasttracker mods first
after you got an understanding of it, you may try your first steps in composing
I suggest doing it without VSTi instruments first, because VSTi instrument are an chapter of it's own... it would be too
much, both learning vsti's and the handling of a tracker at the same time... but that's my personal opinion.
So, after you managed your first steps with samples only, than you should try using track-effect in combination with automation.
Once you got it, you have a good base in creating some good tracks. and you may try out the next big chapter:
Madtracker + Vsti's Learn the meaning and usage of filters, delay, reverb etc...
after you archived a hand how to use this, you have a good chance to create som songs like
"dead and colourblind"
BUT ... (there is a big "but" ) it takes time... plenty of time (i'd say at least 1 year) until you you are going to gain that experience and the skills necessary for a good result (depending on you talents).
That means a lot of practice, blood, sweat and cursing
So don't get disencouraged, if things don't behave as you expect it.
A good practice is editing and remixing other mods or your favourite songs (just like Amok does)
Good luck and happy tracking  |
