   @mooncorebunny @Ghostie7649 I think that messing with trackers and MODs is instead a lot more of a hardcore niche thing to do these days than to use a DAW that requires fairly little setup and has most things built-in.
   
   The general song structure & music theory part is the hard part, I think.
   
   (Of course you could add difficulty and flexibility to your setup by screwing with virtual modular synth setups and whatnot.)

     @Ghostie7649

     Going straight into #LMMS or #FLStudio feels like jumping in the deep end. A decade or two ago I would have recommended taking a few weeks or months inspecting #tracker MODs or #MIDI files, taking them apart to see how the songs were put together, and then imitating and improvising on them until you have something new that you like the sound of; that's what I did.

     But maybe modern #music #composing tools are so good that even without prior experience it's possible to quickly start producing interesting results?.. I wish I could offer something more useful.
