Depends on your system. Let's get a rundown of the most popular trackers out there that we can use for making custom music (to be played in JJ2):
DOS:
- FastTracker, always been popular, GUI orientated and suitable for the beginner.
- Impulse Tracker, another fave pic, though getting to know the interface can be a pain.
Windows:
- ModPlug tracker, not many GOOD windows trackers out there. ModPlug is the most favored one.
*nix:
- CheeseTracker, could say it's the Impulse Tracker for *nix systems. Updates have again started.
Some general notes on the Galaxy Sound System:
- do NOT use instruments in your tracks. Stick to using samples only. GSS lacks support for some major instrument-functions.
- do NOT use more than 32 channels. GSS support up to 32 in total, though this brings down the overal performance. Using up to 16 channels is recommended.
- do NOT make your tracks too big e.g. by using huge samples. JJ2 uses a limited amount of memory where everything has to fit in (animations, level, tileset, music etc.)
That should do it.  Happy custom-music-making!
