 A Few Words About Today's PC Music Scene
 ----------------------------------------
    The PC Music Scene - more known as the TRACKING scene, is getting bigger
    and bigger nowadays; The Tracker programs become more serious with more
    professional options, new SoundCards support (Take FT2 for example which
    -is quite a heavy one!) giving many channels of editing, full
    stereo/panning and of course, the endless chase after better quality -
    which makes your PC a good track-recording studio. ;)

    ----------------------------
    THE MINI HISTORY OF TRACKING
    ----------------------------
    In the late 80's, when 286 were the top,
    people started wondering when will they be able to use their
    SoundBlaster cards to actually make music... Well, the Amiga music-scene
    in those same years, was more advanced because they used programs such as
    ProTracker which supported 4 channels file (two LEFT , and two RIGHT)
    which is known as the MOD format. The first PC-Trackers/Players
    actually stole that format from the amiga and used the MOD format. Then,
    Sami Tammilehto , a.k.a PSI (FC) started making a tracker with new
    format called STM, which actually was quite similar to the MOD format.
    It also supported 4-Channels and the tracker was called "Scream-Tracker".
    the 1st PC-Tracker.
    After that, some more trackers came out, they all had 4 channels,
    but.. It was NOT enough!

 The first time a MultiChannel music was released (as far as i know) was
 in June,1992 - The "SoundTrack" of FISHTRO - also made by FC which played
    a 7-Channel Music made by ScreamTracker 3.0á. When that happened, people
    started looking for This tracker, which eventually released only in
    1994. Future-Crew started spreading their S3M files, and they first
    program other then ST3/MDP to play it, was DMP which is getting better
    and better until nowadays (DMP400)

 Programs such as Compose669 & FastTracker 1 appeared, but they were not
 very friendly, and people waited for the serious MultiChannel to come.
 FC guys said that they will NEVER release ST3 for many reasons, but
 finally they DID! but when they did, there were many other trackers
 such as *Liquid-Tracker (made in Israel) which supported up to 64! Channels
 and SoundBlaster-16.

    Today, There are many trackers, about 50% of them, support GUS only
    which is the BEST SoundCard nowadays, and is physically built for
    tracking routines (It has 32 different channels!) Everyone who plays
    good on a musical instrument, can be a good tracker, all you need, is a
    good composing, mastering your tracker , and... GO!

 [*] Liquid-Tracker : Comes with this MusicDisk.
     It supports LIQ/MOD/STM/S3M formats.
     All tunes from this MusicDisk were converted from LIQ format to S3M
     format, so each one can play it on his favorite player.
    If you own a SB/SBPRO/SB16, i recommend using the Liquid-Tracker which
    plays the special-FX exactly the way i want it to be. GUS Users may use
    various players such as DMP (/DSMI based players) ST3 MDP EXTREME'S
    TRACKER DIGITRACKER FT2 and IPLAY (up to 1.20) does NOT support well the
    S3M : FastTracker ][ does not support the Left-Right regular STEREO, and
    iPLAY does not support Panning/Special FX well. Any other player which
    doesn't have Surround for example, will make the tunes less as they were
    meant to be.
