Audio is the central element in Tracker+ and at
the heart of almost everything. The end to end
process of Sampling - Editing - Performing
carries many sub topics that involve audio.
Patterns are made with instruments and notes
that trigger sounds. The process starts with the
procuring, capturing or recording of audio.
Multiple audio sources are available from
which to sample. It is possible to connect
external line level gear, a microphone and
even record from the internal radio. In addition
the ability to render internal audio is also a
useful feature. Tracker+ works with PCM WAV
les and includes stereo sampling. Anti-
aliasing option is available in the ‘Cong’
menu. Many options exist to render and export
either parts of patterns, full songs or track
stems. Be aware rendering may take some
time as it sequentially renders to audio almost
real time. A toolkit of destructive editing
features helps to prepare audio for use in
instruments and patterns and for further
integration with other features such as the play
modes and routing through effects. Each
Projects can hold up to 750 seconds of mono
audio samples and 350 seconds of stereo
although the available memory can be increased
by using lower quality audio. Of course Tracker+
already is supplied out of the box with a number
of samples and instruments pre-loaded to the
supplied SD Card. These are great to get things
started and additional samples can be added
and imported. It is important to state that
adherence to copyright laws and original
material ownership should be respected when
recording and sampling audio. Take care to
operate within any relevant laws especially if
considering to commercially release a track. So
this section will cover the recording and editing
of audio samples within the sample recorder and
sample editor pages as well as the general
render and export le page options.
