How are trackers different from FL Studio/Logic Pro
Hi sorry for my newbness on this subject, but I've been working with Logic Pro 8 for a few years now with mild successes. I hear a lot of talk about Renoise being the shit and also being the latest in tracker software. What is a tracker and how is it used that is different from other DAW's like the ones listed above?

logic, pro tools and all those frooty loops stuff go left to right.
trackers go up to down. trackers also tend to have a faster workflow if you know all the code names for stuff. i would stick to logic and learn that if youre still a noob, then, once it becomes boring switch to renoise. reason i say that is cause you can always rewire renoise later (providing you have the latest version)
logic is also the best for pretty much anything but breakcore (especially if you have a mac, which im assuming you do)
hope i was helpful, dont really post that much anymore.

the main point is quick edits, being able to key in variations very quickly and precisely.
in a traditional DAW, you are working with audio and you more less cut rearrange that audio and it all works in a kinda virtual studio way. ie its like cutting pretend tape up, then having an effect on a buss or instrument channel.
in a tracker, traditionally you work with small samples (today its a little different), when you program in the tracker youre not arranging the sample like virtual tape, you are telling the sampler to play the sample, and at each step you can change pitch, direction, pan etc. And because you do this by programming with your QWERTY keyboard, once learnt it becomes very fast and intuitive, much faster than playing with virtual tape with the mouse.
You can get the same results in any DAW as you can in a tracker, the difference is in how its done.
dont know if this clears it up a bit, im no expert with Renoise.

I'm messing around with Renoise now and after I chop my drums and assign each sample to each column, the drum break plays back like a machine gun. The original swing and rhythm is complete compromised.
