Because the mag is a heap of shit as far as I'm concerned.

I might aswell just steal the CD off a magazine and ditch the mag.

And another thing!

Linplug will have already recieved a set fee for the plugin - so it's not stealing from the developer, is it???

And another thing - what about those poor fuckers who bought the magazine each time a new CM plugin appeared??

I can just buy one copy and then get all the plugins on the CD.

Which I won't - they are mainly sub-standard crap anyway.

mhuahaha

Then, why would you want one anyway?

What you mean you can't steal it without a serious risk of getting caught?

Reg you could save the £5.50 and get Waldorf Attack which is around £50 now. (but then you don't get the emergency toilet paper ) Personally I bought the mag this month because it's cheap even though I'm unemployed.

Reginald, you had me here under false pretences.

I've still got Atari ST520 no 2 downstairs somewhere, I might go out and kick shit out of it in the car park in a bit...

shite computer.

Lol... I dunno... I have one in my basement, and mine's shite too. Stupid GEM os, dual sucky floppy drives, no friggen hard drive, crappy crooked plastic keys, 10" black and white monitor... I thought it was the bomb when I was um, 17 but I see the light now....

My Atari 800, now that's another story... cut my teeth writing Motorola 6502 assembler and playing Star Raiders, Archon, and Mule...

i still have my Atari - and i have seen a major producer working with Atari in the last year while producing a song which actualy made it into the charts.
The Midi timing i got on Atari i never reached on a windoze machine.
Nowadays the timing is no problem anymore as i hardly never use external hardware except for sampling.

.

As far as the inudustry is concerned, Atari's did and still do have the best MIDI timing of any computer out there...That's why some people swear by them today!!!

So, can I have an example of a commercial track using the Atari's "rock-solid" midi timing and a non-Atari track to compare it with, please?
I'm assuming the difference will be noticeable, otherwise why bother?

Hehe, this is total myth! My shitty machine used to move notes around on the piano roll page of cubearse of its own accord. Leave it on for a couple of hours, come back, and the fucker had tried to rearrange yer song for you.

i used to play tennis on mine

We had an Atari ST running Cubase at school. I couldn't stand the thing. I was always on the 286 opposite it running FT2.

i have
one atari 520 st
and one atari 1040 ste



whats the most bombs you'v ever gotten on the screen when the computer crashes?

me started with the atariST as well, plus Creator and then Cubase.

it was wonderful!

putte

I used creator on an ST and if was fab

Revenge of the Mutant Camels!!!

(If anybody wants an ST sampler to play with- pm me).

llamatron

it was amazing how powerful and stable Cubase was on AtariST back in the days ...

Stereo Master and Quartet

LOL, I still have my origional STfm, I was given a 4MB Atari STe and a Mega 2 (With mono monitor), but my current setup for working quickly on ideas is an Atari TT wih 2MB RAM and a 48MB HDD (Power user ). From switch on to running Cubase 3.1 in 30 seconds flat! Try that on a PC!

My workhorse for finishing and recording with is still a PC, running Cubase SX, though the MIDI in SX does NOT compare to Cubase classic, too many bits missing. Roll on SX 2.0

I never had a hard disc on my 1040ST--loaded up the OS from floppy disc every time I used it. Ran Creator with Unitor, synced up by SMPTE to my Tascam 38, and it was rock solid. I never knew what a crash or freeze was until I started using Windows. However, I would NOT go back. I love having everything on my computer, and I hated tape maintenance, dbx NR, and ALL THOSE FUCKING CORDS!!!

My happiest memory was selling my STE for more than I paid for it

Some joker put the Macintosh roms on a floppy. If you booted your Atari with that, you had a Mac, with a bigger screen, more memory, and a faster clock speed. Everything worked, except for sound.

V.

I started off with digital music on a 1040 ST - with no harddisk - and a Yamaha mu50 sound module. I really had big fun with it, but the system crashed regularly. I bought it second hand, and got Cubase with it. Later I found out it was a cracked version.

I was very, very happy when I upgraded my pc later on, and got Cubase 5.1. The system didn't crash that often anymore, and I could go using VSTI's, so I wasn't limited to my mu50 anymore. I'm a drummer and I play guitar as well, but I wasn't handy on the keyboards, so buying a hardware synth wasn't really a good investment for me.

Actually, my PC boots XP to desktop in 20 seconds and can load Sonar in another 3-5....
