I fiddled with a very basic version of Logic on my parent's pc in about 1996. I could only make sketches of songs, as the sound source was an SB Live, and I hadn't heard of soundfonts then.

More serious it became when I moved in with my current wife eleven years ago. She had recently bought a Fostex harddiskrecorder with a keyboard and a Yamaha midi module. I added an Atari 1040 ST with Cubase to that, and then things started rolling.

I think in 2003, when I got a free Tracktion 1 license.

Wow, I feel like such a little punk. When you guys were banging out tunes on Ataris I was shitting my diapers.

I started using computers in about 1999 when Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 was released. Before that I was using only hardware. There is and old program out there called "Reality" from Seer Systems. At that time I would use Midi Yoke and program Reality. Then I would record Reality's audio back into a separate soundcard and put it up into Cakewalk.

Before that I used an ASR10 and other synths.

Sometimes I think about using hardware again, but it requires so much space (and the old problems vs. the new) but one time I was at a show where the guy was using a laptop to perform his music. At one point he was having trouble getting the sound to come out. Somebody yelled from the audience "HIT THE ENTER KEY!!!" and the whole crowd was in stitches. Maybe it's just me, but somehow people don't look as cool with a little laptop on stage vs. a bunch of wires and gear.

but i have to add that i actually started on a tacam 244 and a tr707(which is said to be "computer controlled")

i didn't had any kind of hardware except a Yamaha Portable "Entertainer Keyboard" from the PSR-xxx series. A cheap one.
But i fell in love with creating computer-based music since i played around with the "dance machine" from bhv around 1997...

Something like that. I sold my Atari in 1990 when I moved to the US. Ten years later I got started again, first with Cubase, then Logic.

ouf!
I had you down for a Texan.
Where are you from?

Started in autumn 2001 with Macromeda SoundEdit, pretty much like the Soundforge guy who's been mentioned who did that hit album . Copy, Paste, Rinse, repeat.
Then a few months later moved upwards to Muzys 0.9 and a lot of samples!

I still prefer to use samples instead of synths to this day.

I've never really started

I do however have a very nice set of toys and can make some lovely sounds....since around 2000. More of a "thing I missed out on growing up" thing......

1985. Commodore64
Learned a little...but then got a RolandD20 with a Fostex 4track and didn't use a computer with it. Mostly just designed sounds with it.

When did you begin making computer music?
