Why are you downvoted? I like how we can find past thread about the same topic
ofalkaed•2h ago
Voting on HN is not a like, it is about getting the good posts which produce good discussion at the top of the thread so we do not have to scroll through pedantry and nitpicking to get to the content. These posts offering old content are handy things to have in a thread but rarely produce good discussion and the best place in a thread for them is at thee bottom of the worthwhile posts but before the garbage posts which is where a single downvote should get it in an ideal world but people probably just downvote such posts in an attempt to counter the upvotes such posts always get.

> Information to warez groups

Oh wow!

l33tbro•3h ago
> Information to warez groups: Since the source is open, it should be simple to turn the demo into a fully featured version. Please let me know of any problems.

Makes sense as their name suggests that they are affiliated with one of the original warez crews, Radium, who were around in the late 90s. Or that the name is an homage to Radium, who did a lot of massive releases that these developers may have grown up on.

> Scripting in [...] Scheme

Interesting, does anyone have experience with this? How well does this work?

ofalkaed•4h ago
https://github.com/kmatheussen/radium/blob/master/api/protos... gives some clues as to what can be done with Scheme/python. I never tried the scripting back when I used it years ago but it looks pretty useful, on my list of things to explore.
abruzzi•3h ago
never tried Radium, but in Apple's Logic Pro you can write Javascript to do stuff to the MIDI as it comes in or goes out. I've found it quite useful. I once wrote a small script (at the request of another Logic user) that turned a monosynth that only supported "low note priority" into "last note priority." I'd be interested to see what Radium can do.
mutagen•3h ago
Cakewalk has been scripted with a LISP (CAL) from the early days, at least through the 90s. I see hints that it still is but not sure with all the changes from Bandlab.

I'm familiar with Reaper but not this- can anyone who's used both give any color to the differences between this and a DAW like Reaper?

This is almost exactly what I've been dreaming of: a tracker with a linear composition timeline and automation/modulation effect guides.

Last year I even thought of just making my own, then got sidetracked. Hope this works as well as I dream.

Not sure how I've never come across this one before.

>Not sure how I've never come across this one before.

From what I can tell, he has never put any real effort into making it known, it is primarily a personal project.

GuinansEyebrows•2h ago
Does Logic Pro or Ableton Live not fit your bill? Not a pointed question, I’m genuinely curious. I don’t know enough about trackers mainly coming from a sequencer background.
nartho•2h ago
Not OP but none of those have native linux support.
ta988•24m ago
Bitwig does and it works really well. pretty much a replacement for live.
TheRealPomax•2h ago
Neither have anything remotely similar to a tracker interface. The closest "current" DAW would be something like ReNoise, but it lacks a bunch of the ideas that Radium uses, like working graphically inside the tracker UI.
TheRealPomax•2h ago
I assume you've seen ReNoise.
fabiofzero•3h ago
This DAW has been in development for a long while but it's never been stable enough to be used seriously. I thought the project was dead until five minutes ago. Worth giving a try again, maybe.
ofalkaed•3h ago
Around a decade ago I used it for about a year, don't recall any stability issues on linux. So far no issues with my first few hours of use since reinstalling.

ConanRus•2h ago
the most popular one would be Renoise
DidYaWipe•1h ago
Bummer about the reported Mac issues. Anybody have experience with it there?

I have Logic, so I will probably never devote the time to trying to fix this. But maybe if I understood the "tracker" interface it would be more appealing.
