Madtracker is a free program for creating music tracks, clips, and simple audio files on your personal computer. Its important advantage is the absence of "glitches" even when working on a very low-powered PC. In addition, the level of convenience increases the ability to interact with different instruments, such as guitar, piano, drums, as well as the ease of writing notes using the keyboard.
The list of Madtracker features:
- gradual, "from scratch" writing of author's electronic music;
- More than 100 musical samples with the ability to edit and augment them;
- connection of VST-plugins to increase the range of instruments and sound effects;
- consultations on arising problems in the built-in chat.
Getting started with Madtracker
The developers assure you that even the most ambitious creative ideas can be easily transformed into final music compositions with the program. To do this, after creating a document, you can start typing notes (before you press the space bar to start recording). If the need arises, the composer can adjust the tempo and speed of playback.
Advantages of Madtracker:
- Compared with similar software, practically does not load the PC with calculations;
- It does not require installation of additional programs or hardware drivers;
- You can add any VST plug-ins;
- Powerful algorithms for removing sound defects from your compositions;
- Export of data to MIDI format;
- Tracker World news directly from the program;
- IRC chat;
- bonuses for registered users (registration fee is 20 or 40 euros);
- ability to save settings to HDD;
- own envelope for any effect and volume;
- choice between ProTracker or Fast Tracker keyboard combinations.
Disadvantages:
- No English language interface;
- You will need to pay for some plugins.
The software is free and fairly easy to learn, even in the absence of translation into English. However, the functionality is poor, so Madtracker is more recommended for beginners than for professional audio engineers, composers and producers.
