No one is going to seriously compare the feature set of a tracker to cubase/logic/protools etc." in response, leonard said: "that noone has ever had any big success with the sole use of trackers, and watch the response." i was simply pointing out that this wasn't tim's point at all. he didn't say "you can't make music with a tracker". he implied that only a very few musicians make music with trackers, and of them, not many are particularly successful in terms of making music that other people listen to. there's no hatred for trackers - i think the whole concept is very cool. its just, as tim said, its a limited design that caters to a niche set of users. nothing wrong with that at all. --p
