KVR Audio

Well, I'm using the worst computer right now, but I have a great history of bad machines:

Had a C64 and developed a nice midi/sound engine that was used in some games. Only, my C64 had a broken, out-of-tune SID and somehow it wouldn't like the new rev. of soundchips I got for replacement.

Bought an Atari Falcon 030 only days before Atari went r.i.p. (and Creator SL wouldn't even run, because the dongle was incompatible, so I stayed with the 1040ST for another 8 years)

Got a cheap x86 with a 233MHz P2 MMX Cyrus (was that the name of the crappy 3rd party chip manufacturer?) processor, which had an experimental USB port, shortly before USB became standard. Never worked. I mean, never worked for anything than writing some .docs

D'oh... that must be the way the cookie crumbles...

I use a celeron 797 128 RAM 20 gig HD

It sucks pretty good. It's my programming computer and test center basically

My music PCs:

My P4 1.7 took a dump (Due to heat I beleive

)
so I upgraded to a P4 3.0 800FSB 1 GB RAM because I got a hook up through some flight simulator company and this baby is sitting in a nice air conditioned room this time around.

my first music was done on an amiga. fasttracker

I'm developing my software on an PII with 200MHz and Win95 (still the first installation since I bought it

). One Harddisc has 2 GB, the other one 1 GB. Not to forget the 32MB of RAM. Oh: And I still make all my music with it (Using Cubasis VST).

I love it, bought it in 2000.

I'm still using my G3 350mhz ( bought in '98 ) and I'll continue until something critical and irreplaceable fails. I can't afford to buy another computer and I won't use PCs.

right before I built myself my current system I was using an older compaq with a 500 mhz celeron, 256 mb ram, 12Gb hard drive and onboard sound. At the end, none of the PS2 ports would work and I had to buy their usb counterparts. I was running Cubase Sx and some heavy-duty plug-lns like Moog Modular and Lounge Lizard. Lets just say a lot of stuff got bounced to audio.

It's what she would have wanted though, "computer?? what's that love? Is it like the wireless?"

you are all wrong I have an atari 2600 games console running synthcart

that's actually true as well. When I feel like getting some power in to the mix, I use a gameboy running a tracker

It about ideas not Mhz lads:)
