Audio / Tracker / SID question

[novaburst]

I need some information on this stuff. I've been a drummer since the 80s and been into Amiga stuff since then. But for some reason I never put the two together.

The release of Hively Tracker got me thinking. Especially since I have a brand new Roland TD-3SW drum kit sitting here.

I was thinking about recording some of my stuff. But I know nothing about these trackers. Do I need to know Assembly to mess with these trackers? I love listening to sids, but I know nothing about them. Can I record my stuff into an audio file and then convert it to a sid?

I have Amiga Forever and AROS running under Windows/Linux. I don't have sound working in AROS as of yet. That will take some tinkering that I haven't done yet. I receive a gfx library error when trying to run Hively Tracker in Amiga Forever.

I use the VICE C64 emulator too. But this may not be the place to ask about it. But I know it is still popular with creating sids. If anyone has any info on this, that would be great too.

I guess I'm basically wondering if I can create drum tracks to be used in demos and how to do that? Like Amiga demos or C64 demos.
Be gentle, I'm a total newbie at this stuff.

Wow, you have helped me already.  :-)
Well, if I have to learn the programming required to do actual c64 sid stuff, then no, I won't go that route. I don't have the time to give for that.

So music that sounds like SID would be good enough for me.

Will do, thanks!
