Discussion Renoise vs milky tracker

I’m new to making jungle, but if I’m honest I’m kinda getting bored of making music in general on fl studio. I want to branch out and start making music on trackers as well, just as a way to keep it interesting and fun as well as trying to really capture the sound of jungle. So I’ve kinda narrowed it down between these 2. I know renoise is more modern, but I like that milky tracker keeps the old workflow of a gen 2 tracker and emulates fast tracker 2 as close as possible(I have a little bit of experience with fast tracker 2). I also plan on using an mpc1000 alongside one of these trackers, and I just wanted to know which one would be better. As of rn I’m leaning towards milky tracker, but lmk your opinions.

I loaded my Amiga jungle mods straight into Renoise the developers were obviously protracker fans. Shortcuts are also the same.

I’m not a tracker expert at all (just recently started wrapping my head around the concept) but if I were in your position I would pick renoise (though there’s nothing saying you can’t use both ya know) but renoise is my main tracker of choice and is worth the price. Renoise plays well with hardware and at least for me was easier to get into. Renoise still feels similar to a classic tracker but is contemporary and stable. I’ve tried a few other trackers like schism and milky and while they’re all great for getting that classic jungle sound, renoise felt the easier to get into for whatever reason, as someone who only got into trackers recently.
