I used Milkytracker for many years, graduating from LSDJ and Famitracker. I eventually got my hands on a proper A500 and tracked on that for a while, before going back to the comfort of a modern PC running Renoise. These days it’s all Ableton for me, but I miss the days of using trackers like nothing else. I’m spoiled on Ableton, so can’t easily make the switch back to a tracker equivalent like Renoise, but there are still loads of things I miss about tracking. It is, for me, the most intuitive way to create the kind of music that I want to create with a computer.

Shameless self promo, but I released a tiny album of .xms using Milkytracker back in the day [0] on Disasterpeace’s (composer for Fez, among others) label, which I am still quite fond of. 4mat, of course, was, and is still, a huge influence.

If you are already familiar with the LSDJ workflow, I can't recommend Dirtywave M8 enough [1]. It is to LSDJ what Renoise is to Protracker.
