@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.)
