'''SoundTracker''' is a [[free software|free]] [[tracker]] for [[Unix-like]] operating systems running [[X Window System]]. Its user interface resembles [[Fast Tracker]], the classic [[MS-DOS]]-based audio tracker. SoundTracker is licenced under the [[GNU General Public License]] and it uses [[GTK+]] (version 1, which has been succeeded by version 2) as its [[widget toolkit]]. For many years, SoundTracker was one of the very few mature audio trackers available for Unix-like operating systems.

== Description ==

SoundTracker's name is a tribute to the [[1987]] [[Commodore Amiga|Amiga]] program [[Ultimate Soundtracker]] which is regarded as the first program of this type.

Its name is a tribute to the 1987 [[Amiga]] program [[Ultimate Soundtracker]] which is regarded as the first program of this type, while its user interface mostly resembles and indeed functionally mimics [[Fast Tracker]],<ref name=histofTracker>{{cite web |url=http://helllabs.org/tracker-history/ |publisher=helllabs.org |first=Claudio |last=Matsuoka |date=2007-11-04 |accessdate=2011-01-29 |title=Tracker History Graphing Project |archive-date=2011-07-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110726144718/http://helllabs.org/tracker-history/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> one of many popular [[MS-DOS]]-based audio trackers, supporting saving in its file formats. It generally renders playback using the OpenCP (à la [[Cubic Player]]) engine. Initially SoundTracker had used [[GTK+]] (version 1) as its [[widget toolkit]], modern versions (since 1.0.0) use GTK+&nbsp;2. For many years, SoundTracker was one of the very few mature audio trackers available for Unix-like operating systems.
