skale tracker and renoise were both designed to be modern versions of fast tracker. Skale seems to be putting more effort into being similar to the tracker, renoise is concentrating more on putting new fancy things in it.

They are both great, renoise probably rivals most sequencers already.

I cant decide which one is better though, skale is unfinished and its easy to tell, but I like the mixer it has alot and it is staying more true to the old ft2 scheme.

This "pre-historic" interface allows me to get beats done a hundred times faster than in any other sequencer I've tried. Granted, my level of familiarity was nowhere near the same as it is with buzz, but one of the things it's excellent at is getting stuff done fast.

I do use Buzz.

The interface is in parts incomplete.. I don't care if it LOOKS like ass, that isn't the deciding factor. But there are some things that could speed up the workflow that will never be implemented. I still prefer the thing vastly over toy stuff like reason with all its tiny knobs where you cant see shit what you're doing. Or cubase, for that matter.
