Started writing (really bad) black metal and stuff in the mid 90s and really wanted a way to record the tracks and play them back. Of course, DAWs were rudimentary at that stage but certainly better than the 2x cassette decks I'd been using up until then. In around 2000, I got into psychedelics

and electronic music and decided to make psychedelic electronic music. No tape deck in history could really do what I wanted so a cracked copy of Fruity Loops was the obvious choice.

I was looking for something like Photoshop, but for sound.

Originally it was PPQN resolution. I think what keeps me with one or another now is flow and how the company responds to its base.

With todays DAWS, I think it's simply about the simplicity and logical process to perform actions in a way that doesn't overwhelm me which is why I avoid one DAW that will remain nameless. When I first started getting into one DAW, Octamed Sound Studio which was given away on an Amiga computer magazine, not a demo, but a fully working version back in 1996. Everything began falling into place so I could unleash my creative desires, and drive to create music that was similar to that of commercial tracks I was listening to on CD and tape for many years. Octamed Sound Studio basically had everything I could ever want, or at least I though I could want until the advent of more powerful DAWs came onto the market on different platforms. Nowadays, the drive to create music has fallen to the way side mostly. DAWs are more like an object to allow me to test out VSTs and see how they look and function when developing skins for them.

Still running Win98 SE boxes in my studio.

Why?
Driver issues.

Way back then, it was to learn music production.

Well, if you're going to include stuff that isnt actually a DAW, then my first DAW was the soundchip on an Oric-1.

Back in the '80s it was Master Tracks Pro because I couldn't play to save my life, was hitting the limits of my ESQ-1's sequencer, and I still needed all the help I could get.

Little has changed really except now it's Reaper and (most recently) Bitwig. Still a poor technical player.

I liked the little bricks in MTPro.

Looks like lndr includes cubase now... It's that it is a nice package with alot of vst's and the 150 platform thing and the samples that make it intresting. Even if I don't like cubase I get all the effects and instruments, I was thinking cakewalk was wanting to do something like that.. Cubase at least has a piano roll but I don't know that it is all that though.

What Is It That Draws You To A DAW?
