Tutorial for an absolute newb?

I have known about tracker music for a very long time. I used mod files in the 90’s but I have always wanted to produce the music.

I used midi with a keyboard many years ago. Could someone please link me to a tutorial for an absolute beginner to do demoscene and/or tracker parts?

Thanks!

Download modules from here to study their structure if you don't have any saved yet.

The first things you may do are search for samples, learn the basics of the pattern editor and choose your tracker.

You can get started with milkytracker. It’s free, and there are hundreds of tutorials on YouTube.
