Old creator here too. I miss the Fast Tracker days. I went so far as to have two Pentium II computers both running Fast Tracker, using MIDI clock sync between them then deconstructing source music from all those favorite tracker artists, playing partial multiple songs at once. It never got old, always fresh each time.

Then MP3s came out and the whole concept of trading source music for live remixing was lost. Another amazing thing was how compressed they were. I once put my favorite 1700 S3M/XM/IT/etc songs onto a single CDROM! That in itself is wild to think.
