Andy is just this guy, you know? He started making music back in the 1990s. He made tracker music on a PC because he never had an Amiga, he skipped straight from the Commodore 64 to a 286-based PC with a Soundblaster card. He worked in a computer store in the early 1990s and was able to get a discounted copy of Tetra Compositor, a tracker which made MOD files (although they weren't properly compatible) . From there he moved to MODTracker, and to ScreamTracker. Then he got married and had kids. OpenMPT was his go-to for a little while, before his enthusiasm for creating music was re-awakened by Renoise. Working more and more with VST instruments rather than samples, he decided to move to Reaper and that is his tool of choice to this day. He writes music that he wants to listen to and is his only target audience. You can buy or stream his music on Bandcamp https://redlegoman.bandcamp.com/ <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/andy+mcdade">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
