Hope you managed to preserve these, I’d be keep to take a listen if they’re hosted online somewhere. I’ve been using renoise for 15 years on and off and while nowhere near 100s of tracks a month I fondly look back on the first year I used it similarly - that combination of youthful energy and tracker software is really something special. Renoise has come a long way and is a joy to use.

Alas most died on boxes of floppy discs which succumbed to a flood

I recently discovered some 50 odd floppies which survived, and a couple old 5" hard drives - so I'm hopeful! I assume most of the data will be pretty patchy by now (if not totally gone) but I'm gonna try some forensic recovery

If I manage I'll put the survivors somewhere for sure :)

Anywhere I can check out your renoise stuff? Always keen to find new stuff to boggle at

Not the person you were replying to but here’s someone who still uses Renoise for releases https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_Robot_and_Proud

The greaseweazle is a very cost effective way of reading old floppies.

There's a community on FB, you can occasionally but pre made drives, even without that, a board and a floppy drive is enough.

I had more than a hundred 5.25" floppies from the 1980s and I successfully recovered all but two of them thirty years later. It's definitely worth a try.

If you can get your hands on an Applesauce low level copier you may be able to recover them. https://applesaucefdc.com
