Hope y'all don't mind I ask a very niave question I guess, but what exactly is tracking? I was under the impression it was sort of sequencing little bits/samples/whatever of digital audio on your computers hard drive. I have been to some of the tracker sites, and they appear to be in some sort of proprietary format...I did D/L those that had mp3's of the tracked er, track. It sounded to me like very basic layering and sequencing, (nothing wrong with that). To that end, there is really no external MIDI stuff involved. Is this right? Tracker apps are primarily PC apps, correct? Is that new app ACID considered a tracker? Just curious I guess... peace Nate
