Just to see what kind of quality music you can get from using the ModPlug Player I've uploaded a sample of one of my recently finished tunes. It's not totally finished yet, it needs a bit of fixing, and some slight re-mixing.
I think ModPlug is the best sound design software you can get, and it's free, and doesn't eat a whole shitload of your computers resources up either.
This mix I composed myself is actually 2 mixes, the second mix starting at around 1:45, personally I like the second stage of the mix, considering my options were limited with the repititous chords I was using with the first.
Unfortunately the download may take a bit longer, since I am barrowing my friends FTP, in which he happens to live in Denmark.
(And No, it's not a fucking virus.)
Download My Phat MP3 Here.(still needs some work.)
This link may be down in a few days or less, my friend may remove the file from the FTP.
I plan on doing a lot more mixing, and re-mixes of tunes with this software. The best way to learn how to use it, is to download sample mods, and play back the effects, and write down what they do, and when you come across a sound you wan,t you can add individual effects per note, as well as the sample itself.
You can modify through various filters, like sound evelopes, or panning, and it's real easy when you get used to it. Eventually you'll move on to macros, and midi macros and such. It's pretty cool fucking shit.

Download the Tracker there.
Go to http://www.modarchive.com to steal samples, and get ideas for your own tunes.
If any of you guys are interested in the source file for this MP3, just E-Mail me, and I will send it to you. It pretty much uses all the effects that are used in electronic music, Offsets, Tone Portamento, Panning, Vibrato, Waveform, Tremolo.
This particular format was done as a Fast Tracker Module, or .XM.
