I honestly love the concept of a "Making of", years after the original creation, while not quite remembering the "how" part and using different equipment.
8:30 intriguing, you are in the future, talking about you in the past, and talking to us in the future from you in the past, about you in the further past. A Lazy Posy video, could be you drawing an diagram, on an whiteboard. Describing and explaining how you can be in the present, and explaining what happened, you in the past, and speaking to us in the future, of your present future, and how the past you, was explaining something to us, in your present future, and….
"Sitting and walking like that actor...." Closest scene I can think of is Kung Fu Hustle, where Stephen Chow points at a short looking person, but it turns out to be someone who was sitting down, who is like 8 feet tall when they stand, and I can only remember that scene because I literally watched it yesterday. I used to use FastTracker2 for mixing music (and some other dos tools for adjusting volume and applying filters), so I was mentally crying out "The space bar! Stop is space."
In case you didn't know already there is a pretty neat piece of hardware called Polyend Tracker which is basically a mix hardware implementation of a tracker and a groovebox. And a synth and a sampler. It isn't super expensive as well, definitely well worth a check.
Trackers were grooveboxes and samplers a good 25 years ago already, mostly made by demosceners for free already. Capable of running 32+ channels on a very dated 386 PC even. Probably not with the feature-set of what you mention, but these things becoming a for-profit thing still takes almost everything away from the whole spirit of the idea. I get that some dedicated piece of hardware has a cost attached, but compare the price of the equivalent of, let's say a Pentium II PC for some leeway, with some free software, to the at least 600 bucks the product you mention. All you gain is the live stage capability, but you also lose all of the essence of what "actual" trackers were and still are. It's an entirely different product for an entirely different purpose, adopting that name only to lure in nostalgic fools. It's a bloody sequencer, nothing more.
one of my, uh... hobbies is downloading Some Guy's whole discography from those tracker module archive sites and then coarsely sorting them into arbitrary categories. there's something magical about a media format that is also the project file, complete with samples and little shoutouts from 30 years ago
Tracker music has some extremely comfortable qualities, my brain really enjoys it. Love 4mat, the Unreal soundtrack, protodome, chibi-tech, jeroen tel...so many brilliant nerds
Tracker music has a special place into my heart and brings back multiple different memories of my past. I want to mention Milkytracker. It was created to work (and look) very similarly to FT2 yet it isn't a clone of it.
Nice one. Just saw a video by ahoi about Trackers as well. For me growing up with modern DAW's, It is just so pretty to see this way of doing it. Every bit of data was precious.Just the fact that the screen scrolls down, makes you think i another way.
Fast, Scream, Impulse, all the Trackers, and the Demo-Scene overall... aaaaw man. These were the things on my dad's 368DX40 that eventually made me take up many real instruments as a hobby later, actively live through the SoundBlaster AWE series at their times, with a few "non-officially" obtained Cubase versions along the way, eventually Fruity Loops (now known as FL Studio) and eventually becoming 40 years old doing nothing of that at all anymore because my career took another turn. GOOD memories, and a very much welcome throwback. Thanks!
I've tried a couple trackers myself, Renoise is just perfect for my use case, I've even figured out a way to get around the free trial not letting me export songs ;)
0:50 I love "Vordhosbn"... its track that really hit my music taste so hard that I really dropped any other style I was listening back then... and I still stuck to it.... Probably because of it Im drawn to weird music made by weird people like you :D I love weird music :D
This is so entertaining to watch! I’ve had the same experience going into old photoshop files or videos and trying to remember how I did anything. Brings back a lot of memories, but also reminds me of old mistakes and lessons I learned and promptly forgot 😅 Thanks for sharing this! I really dislike the “secrecy” mentality people have about making art like you mentioned with that scary looking guy 😱 we’ve got to share these things so everyone else can learn and add to our ideas! And hopefully seeing some of the mess will mean people are less intimidated about making a mess themselves! I don’t understand the impulse to want to hide your process like it’s some secret recipe. So, thanks for not doing that! ❤️🎉
Posy! So cool to see that you use good old fashioned trackers to make music! I've been using trackers nearly half of my life (Milkytracker, Famitracker, Renoise), but I feel like they're still considered an underground way to make music. Thanks for shining the spotlight on trackers! Love your work!
Cheezus. This is SO similar to the way I wander through my old MED compositions, made on Windows in the 90s and early 2000s. I can't remember how I did anything. I ask, "Was that really me? Why don't I recognize this file?"
02:35 it’s insane how just from these basic tracks you immediately think of and can hear Boards of Canada and Aphex Twin etc. (02:50 POSY TOO!) Thanks for making me realise why!
The big classic tracker these days (well decades) is MilkyTracker by Titan and it's also a Triton FastTrackerII clone, but it might have accuracy issues. FT2 supports... just about all soundcards of the era, because all cards had a Soundblaster Pro fallback compatibility mode. Except GUS, which was supported as well, and was for sure the recommended way to use any tracker.
You sound pretty good, still. Who needs perfectionism? One can discern what words are you saying, with which intonation, and the timbre is nice on the ears and speech mannerisms aren’t alien or something. The editing is very good-no irritating awkward pauses not demanded narratively. All checkboxes checked. (I’m probably forgetting something because I try to explain a feeling why it doesn’t sound wrong to me in the first place.)
Out of interest, how are all these tracks composed? By computer RNG? Or is there people who compose and upload them? The secret originals to every 90s cult track ever?
You nailed it when you pronounced my name and handle, I'm so proud of you.

I enjoy these lazy videos so much, like a cool little unscripted insight into someones creative past. Keep it up Posy :)

i would highly reccomend getting the M8 tracker instead. simply much more powerful, and portable, all at the same great price.

i never really knew you made tracker music but after finding out, i am not suprised, you are too cool!!
Many many many hours making music with Fast Tracker! Many, many!
Making of video: "I've completely forgot, how i made it"

sorry is such an incredible track. thank you for this wonderful video
i love every single second of this, please keep this up
I was stuck to my screen every second, I dont really know why but I had quite a few laughs too! Lazy videos are still fantastic
When I grow up, I want to be awesome and lazy, just like Posy.
Posy's "Sorry, Sorry" is one of my favorite lil' quirks. Thank you, Posy.
I love this video and it's background!
(And I like the shirt, too!)
I've tried a couple trackers myself, Renoise is just perfect for my use case, I've even figured out a way to get around the free trial not letting me export songs ;)
I just wanna say you can upload literally anything and I’ll watch it.
Lazy lazy posy. Raw stuff
0:50 I love "Vordhosbn"... its track that really hit my music taste so hard that I really dropped any other style I was listening back then... and I still stuck to it....
Probably because of it Im drawn to weird music made by weird people like you :D

I wish i knew how to NOT be lazy.
Wahey! FT2!
We used to say to the Octa Med people "only 8 tracks?! We can do 16!" Looks like you have one or two more even than that. ;)

I like this Scary Dude named Richard at 0:35
I would so love to see more of these!
I've seen a tracker like this being done on Microsoft Excel.
Really loved this video. Trackers are such a cool piece of music tech (instrument?)
Love them

I hope you'll like OpenMPT if you use it in the future.
