ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Tracker music

Alright kiddo, have you ever played with Lego blocks? Like building a castle or a spaceship with them?

Well, tracker music is kinda like that but with sounds instead of Lego blocks.

You see, musicians like to create music using different sounds like guitar, drums, and piano. But with tracker music, people use a computer program to create all kinds of fun sounds.

This program is like a special toy where you can pick different sounds and put them together to make music. But instead of just pressing a button or moving a lever, you have to use a special system where you tell the program which sound you want to use and how long you want it to play for.

It's like giving the program instructions on how to build your music piece, just like how you give instructions to build a Lego castle.

And the cool thing is, you can even change the instructions later on to make the music sound different. Just like how you can take apart your Lego castle and build a different one!

So that's tracker music, kiddo. A fun and creative way to make music using a computer program, just like building things with Lego blocks!
