how to cut up a breakbeat using a tracker
Over on Kuro5hin there's a rather tasty looking article on how to use a tracker. It's pitched at a music nerd not necessarily a musician and will give you the hookup with various trackers that are worthwhile to get into. Trackers are something that I've heard of, but never really used, as they always seemed pretty hardcore and inaccessible. After reading this article it seems like something that is worth a go for the easily distracted music nerd. LSDJ for gameboy doesn't get a mention, but that's a darling amongst the 8-bit set.
"Even if it turns out you don't particularly enjoy this type of music or sequencer, learning to cut a breakbeat in a tracker is an excellent way for nerds to dive into creating music. No musical training is required to, literally, hack this particular breakbeat and you walk away with the fundamentals necessary for further electronic musical exploration."
You should go and read it because it's a good read. the author of this fine article is trotch. Extra credit reading: Wikipedia page on trackers
