If you decide to install the old Cakewalk, you'll likely have to fart with your registry so that it thinks you have DirectX 8.1, or the install will shit out on you. It's a 20-second operation if you can find the instructions online, though.
Good old C64... what a wonderful machine. When I'm nostalgic I wish I still had mine; however, if I had it, it'd be in a closet somewhere, ya know?

The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

I started with a Yamaha QY700 hardware sequencer.
Actually going software gave me much more flexibility but I certainly lost the productivity.
In software I tried a few things including Fruity, Orion, Cakewalk, a little Cubase, some Logic, Evolutions Sound Studio Pro or whatever it was called, MBooM which became, Muzys.
Settled on Muzys and became productive for the first time since I went software.
Now I'm spreading my wings a little with EnergyXT, and Podium looks pretty cool too.
But I still miss the ease with which I could create accompaniments in the Yamaha QY700. Set up the pattern and then use a chord track for the progression. Every part in the pattern is transposed on the fly until you're ready to "render" it to a complete midi sequence.
Why oh why don't software sequencers put this in?! Chord progression-based composition comes so naturally - if you use them that is.
OK - I have that minor rant at least once a year I think. I'll stop now.

I really should hook it up sometime...it seems such a waist...I rembember even having a music making cartridge of some kind in there with it. Can you even get any good music software for it anymore (online download and convert to C64 floppy Im guessing)?-

I now use Sonar, and used Logic in between (Mac, then PC), but I still haven't found a program that let's me work with MIDI as powerfully and as quickly as the last few releases of Vision/Studio Vision on the Mac.cyberpink wrote:i miss some unique features from studio vision pro on my beige mac

Sure, the OMS stuff was sometimes ridiculous to get configured properly, but once you had it set up and actually started using the program, I found it much easier to edit complex MIDI tracks with a high level of precision.
