Basically you can see my problem. I have a new OSX Mac and a Windows 98 I believe. I have USB floppy burner/reader. I believe I have the old DD floppies and the "new" floppies. Also does anybody have the disk image for the newest version of Noisetracker (which I believe is 4.0?) and the disk image for the newest version of Soundsmith that they could send me? Thank you all so much for your help! Sorry that I am not well versed enough in this topic. Thank you again!
None of that will help you. The modern Mac and even ancient Windows machine won't be able to write a disk your IIgs can read.
If no one volunteers to send you physical disks, you can make them yourself by sending the disk image from the Mac directly to the IIgs and having the IIgs write the disk itself:

You'll need to connect via a serial null modem:

As well as a USB to RS-232 adapter:

Thank you! So if I grab these two things I'm set for transfer using Adtpro?

Also can anyone send me the disk image of Noisetracker v2.0 the newest one, the newest SoundSmith, and Synthlab? Thank You!
Well, no - you've pointed to a Mini-DIN8 to Mini-DIN8 cable plus a Windows-only USB-RS232 adapter. Neither is going to help you for your Mac.
Take a careful look at the pages I pointed you to. You need a DE-9 to Mini-DIN8 null-modem cable, plus an OSX-compatible USB to RS-232 adapter.
Alright, I'm just gonna buy them from retro floppy in a while. I'd also really like those programs too. Thank you!
