.XM , .IT , or .S3M?
Does anyone know what could be the reason to choose .XM, .IT or .S3M when choosing one for composing?

Are you talking about the difference to each other or compared to other (non-tracker-)formats ?Psychophanta wrote:Does anyone know what could be the reason to choose .XM, .IT or .S3M when choosing one for composing?
The pro on ImpulseTracker is that it supports some (limited) kind of synthesizing functions allowing
to make chipsounds without the help of samples, i.e. "real chipsounds", resulting in a even smaller file.
FastTracker and ScreamTracker are quite similar. AFAIK FastTracker also allows more channels, but I could be wrong.
In comparison to other formats trackers have one big advantage: Size!
Good programmers don't comment their code. It was hard to write, should be hard to read.

Thanks
In ModPlug tracker, those three seem to have very similar commands for notes, etc. but i guess there must be other differences. For example the max number of channels allowed is an important difference, synth funcs are important too...

I don't requested about file-specs (files formats) but about specifics characters if each for composer users, not computer users. :roll:
But thanks for that useful link. I didn't know about, and it is useful to get propietary files formats to convert files.
I used http://www.sonicspot.com/, which is very good too, because there are file-specs explained in a very good and easy way.
