Boombox, scissors, tape->4track->rebirth, Sound forge->Buzz, Vegas->(cubase for films blah!)->Stopped making anything good->Tracktion->XT

One day I'll have time to make music again instead of just playing around and making modular patches.
My girlfriend just read this and said my music is good... LOL

Whatever that acid-included-with-sony version was.......that launched my "wanna be a musician" cycle of hell that is now all consuming..........

Soundtracker on Amiga500 in 1986 (3MB ram, WOW). Then Cakewalk Apprentice which came with a SBAWE32 card around '90.

Music-X for the Amiga circa 1984 was one of the first and still IMO best, Bars & Pipes was good as well but my Amiga has long died.

Before the Amiga there was the Atari ST and I used a program on that too but forgot the name.

heres a quote : Amiga University - Music-X

Music-X was considered by many to be one of the most powerful and innovative sequencers ever made, despite later versions (2.0) being a bit buggy and unstable (see the review on Aminet). However, it remains in use even today, and has since been moved to the PC platform. For those of you who keep asking me, I saw the page over 2 years ago for a PC-based Music-x but it hasn't been online for quite some time, and I don't know what happened to it, so asking me isn't going to find it for you, unfortunately. The next evolution of Music-x by its original author was the MeV product for BeOS, and you can find its home page and related information by searching your favorite search engine. Unlike OctaMED and Bars & Pipes, there is little Internet information available about this program, save what's on Aminet. Thus we would be open to anyone's Music-X tutorials who wants to supply them.

However Sonar is kicking butt and taking names these days as I no longer need Music X[quote][/quote]

Master Tracks Pro.

Oh, did you mean LEGAL? I don't know how I ended up with it and used it about three times anyway.

Cakewalk Apprentice. Been with Cakewalk since. And legal. Just bought version 5 upgrade two days ago, in fact. I am really keen on the native VST. I was having problems with the wrapper and it is just so damn inconvenient and time wasting.

Cubase Atari 2.x -> CubaseVST3.55 -> CubaseVST5 -> SX1 -> Nuendo2. I found nothing that addresses the few wishes I have with Nuendo2 so I stay with it until better things are in sight.

Best wishes, FRitz

Amiga didn't hit 'til 1985.

Octamed on the Amiga was my first tracker though, followed by Impulse and Fast Tracker on the PC. I'm so happy those days are long over.

In order...
Roland MC-500

Cakewalk Pro Audio9
Jeskola Buzz

)

hmm... Guitar Pro. tablature writing program that used the general midi in my soundcard for sounds and would dump to a midi or wave file. that was nifty to discover that i could like attempting to make things that might sound musical

after that, FL2... then FL2.5.... then a combination of FL3 and Cubase VST. then i went all hardware for a while -- MC303 and CS2X, ditched the 303, got some various other crap hardware, ditched that, got an RM1x, then a triton LE.

at the end of the hardware phase of life, i got my first mac, got Reason 2, then Reason 2.5 and Pro Tools LE.

now i'm on Logic 7 and quite happy. Logic is the sequencer i always wanted, even from the beginning.... just need more badass macs to run it

You're a crack up. Where you come up with this stuff? If you were right, I wouldn't have to correct you, now would I?

The Amiga was the direct competition of the Atari ST, which came out in 1985.

damn! lots of other old farts out there too!

What was your first sequencer or DAW?
