My computer screen is awash with numbers and letters careening upwards like The Matrix in reverse. With every beat, my ears are assaulted by a high-speed flurry of notes, sample chops and effects changes, everything happening much quicker than I ever thought possible.
Graphic bars have been replaced by letters and numbers, parameter values represented by the cryptic hexadecimal system. I've been transported to another dimension of music production and I’m barely in control: I’m programming with a tracker and I’m loving every minute of it.
