Let me tell you something...
Impulse tracker is the basics for all the music
making art, but the quality of the sound really
sucks:) |

Impulse tracker never was the basic of the music making art... I think there is a bit of a huge mistake here..
Ppl were making music thousands of years b4 impulse tracker and will continue doing so now..
In the electronic field Impulse Tracker is just one more tracker program - which did lots of good and bad to the trance music -
Good is bcuz through this program many ppl that couldn't afford purchasing a whole studio could advance and gain knowledge ( like Infected Mushroom for instance )
Bad bcuz it's low sound quality and the amount of amateur productions lowered the level of the music as a whole.
My advise for those that don't have a studio at home is to start with sequencers like Cubase - by now there are plenty of soft synths and other toys that can help u creating music but on much higher and sophisticated level than the IT.

Impulse Tracker is responsible for 90% of the ptzatzot music.
It is also the way Infected and Domestic (as well as a few others) began making music.
Just use Cubase though :) |

Hi Yuli , How r u doin' ?
Well , I agree about the mentioned above , but not w/ all the rest.
IT is a quite easy to work with .
Even I succeeded working w/ it .
Comparing to Cubase it's a very friendly software .
Plus it works w/ DOS , and that even more comfortable .
Cubase is really complicated , and a bit harder to work w/.
But that's what's good in it ... the closer to synths the better .
And yes , artists like IM and Domestic etc began making music with impulse tracker ...
I guess it's a very friendly program ... but not the 'mother' of all .
That's all .
Cheers . |

i don't care about the pros and contras of any kind of tracker software. i began making music with various trackers.... if you have high quality samples, you will be able to create high quality music! however I just want to mention that infected mushroom still uses a tracker (as far as i know impulse tracker).
cheers

I'm not saying it's not possible... Just hard. And to get the quality you get in other programs, you have to use the stereo disk writer and EXTENSIVE editing in soundforge or wavelab (I personally prefer spliting a track into 5-15 different channels, edit each of them in soundforge, and mix them together), and to get that same quality in other programs is much easier, as well as MUCH more flexible controls.
Sure it's easier working with Impulse Tracker, and you can get pretty good sound quality from it, but in order to get REALLY good sound quality, it's just easier to work only in other programs.
And don't tell me that I haven't tried, I've been working with Impulse Tracker since Miki Litvak (Shidapu/Domestic) made it popular in Israel in 1996 (much worse programs like Screamtracker, Fasttracker and even others less famous and worse were used).
The problem is that once you can't control the filters, cannot put more than a few effects (which do not include reverb, flanger, phaser, distortion, highpass, bandpass, compressors, many more, and the lowpass is very unflexible and of low quality) at the same time.
Lets admit it - improvising on sound is the soul of trance, and high quality of production is very important (Simon Posford said something on the importance of sound in trance: "there are only 12 notes in western music, play with them long enough, you'll get something good"... not sure that's an entirely accurate qoute, but it's at least pretty close).
Anyways, if you want to make proffesional or high quality trance, it takes too long to learn to make it using Impulse Tracker. If it's just going to be a hobby, and you never intend to make music for much more than toying around with the computer in a fun way, well, Impulse is for you.
And that's from someone who used Impulse for years. |

Yo all..
i really liked what you wrote asaf, absolutely 100% right.
Impulse dont have even 1% of what other pro utils can offer, even though IT is friendlier.
cheers!

Well, I agree with all about IT advantages and disadvantages... I only can recommend to use Modplug tracker, that works as FT2, ST3, IT emulator and and has got VST-plugin support, that can allow you to reach better sound quality.
I'm still using IT and I truly recommend Cubase in order to manage a perfect sound quality, but I'd also recommend Buzz as a good tracker machine. Reason's a good tool too.
Regards to everyone.

i know that impulse is a simple program and way worser than cubase and other pro progs. but i don't have the computer for it cuz mine sucks big time so i use the combination of Impulse - Sound Forge - Fruity Loops. whithin 4 months i learned to do plenty of things in the impulse and now i can say that my tracks start to be more similar to trance. but i still have many problems with samples including vocals and SFX's.... |
