OpenMPT: the basics, and how to use trackers (in 6 minutes!)

A lot of people have asked me about this whenever I share some of my unreleased electronic music on some servers and the moment they know I use a Tracker - they want to know more about them and how they work. In this guide, I'll show the basics of my favourite Tracker: OpenMPT.

This video is intended for people who are new to Trackers and/or OpenMPT. Hopefully it'll serve as a guide to help as many people get started into using a Tracker. I've been there myself, and Trackers seemed very difficult to understand at first glance, but once you get engaged with them, they become a wonder to work with. I've definitely improved my music and skills a lot ever since I started using OpenMPT, and a lot of people ask me about it whenever I share my music to friends and music servers so I thought I'd do a general guide to explain all of the basics needed to get started. This tutorial is for OpenMPT, but the basic concepts of how a Tracker works should apply to all of them aswell.

Special thanks to Emma Essex for having introduced me into this program and having taught me the basics that got me started on it. I wouldn't be where I am today without their help!
