it took me 3 years to figure it out, lol.

there used to be a site called "the zen of tracking" but I can't seem to find it. looks like it may be down. if you want, try searching for it.. it may turn up.

basically what you want to do is get samples/instruments first and foremost. you can do this by download packs, making your own, or just straight up ripping them from other songs.

F2 = patterns
F3= samples
F4 = instruments (better than straight samples IMO. most trackers use instruments now. some instruments are a combination of samples)
F5 = play
F8 = stop

basically all the F buttons have a feature.

you'll be spending most of your time in the pattern maker to write the music. just make sure you have instruments set up. i'd recommend going back to the modarchive site and download 10-15 songs to get a wide variety of instruments. you can also study the songs to see how the trackers did it. It seems overly complicated, but it's like riding a bike once you figure it out.
