Hi, all.

I can see there are a lot of options available today for SID "tracker" software - GoatTracker, SID Wizard, InSIDious...

I've watched a couple of YouTube videos showing people compose in the different softwares, a lot of them don't really explain what's going on. I understand the theory of attack / decay / sustain / release, etc. and don't need to be spoon fed, particularly, but the packages are quite different to one another and the creators quite often just rush through plugging values into (sometimes un-labelled) fields without telling you what they are.

If you were starting today, which software would be your pick?

In case it makes any difference:

a) It's just for messing around. I'm not planning to synch the music to a demo or anything like that right now.

b) My daily runner is a Mac, so I'm kind of expecting to have to work inside C64 emulation.

Thanks!
