Old DAWs - nostalgia thread

[sQeetz]

can you pull it up in a Compiler and add a midi in code? (I don't know if this is how it works)

You can if you live in a Hollywood Hacker Movie

[BrokenTrance]

Not something i use. But yeah.....

IIRC, Todd Rundgren made an entire album using this.

Arena was made entirely within a laptop environment, using Propellerhead Reason software, Line 6 TonePort, the Line 6 edition of Sonoma Sound Works’ RiffWorks and other virtual tools

LOL 'You can if you live in a Hollywood Hacker Movie' - are you sure? I've done some weird stuff in Visual Studio.

All kinda Pro Desktop Musicians been making albums in Reason since it came out...Early versions were the best BEFORE VSTs nobody needed VSTs in Reason it did it all with great efficiency...

However in 90's Brian Eno made a couple albums using SSEYO Koan Pro...Generative music one & two-

Which begs to ask the question, "was the music being made with old DAW's better because better musicians and real artists were using those DAWs?'

I hope no one put this up yet. Not an old DAW, but you be the judge:

Probably OT, but this looks fun and a lot like the older stuff, if a little busy.

A relic of a DAW, though.

True. But he actually made an entire album, 56 minutes of music with it. Most people with modern DAW can't finish a song.

I am just responding to the OP.

Well, I just got through 'enhancing' my AXS tune using trakAx then realized that IT is vintage too...

I think it helped a bit with subtle volume shaping & not-so-subtle panning & a small bit of dynamics. About as much as you can do with a uniform stereo file-

trakAx version 2 is perpetual freeware...Drawable curves on the waveform for pan vol pitch (has zPlane engine) plus uses DX plugins which is great for me maybe not others...

Simple & effective & like 17 years old now-





Once installed the directory can be run portable from anywhere

These peeps were makin' the multi-track in hopes of selling loops...Looks like they made it to 2015. Version 3-UP was NOT FREE...However version 2 is fully free...

so is this the fault of the individual with the modern equipment, or the equipment's fault?

because lots of people with modern daws do indeed finish whole tracks and albums, while lots don't.
not sure "most" is true.

That Sampler plugin that's open looks like fun (and very useful)

Well, I made a short Funk 'Jingle' in AXS Tracker last night-

https://alonetone.com/TalkOrBell/tracks/kernel-klink

I don't use soundclod anymore...Too many questions EVERYTIME I go there & email verification just to upload total bullshit.

Anyways I was creating a song template that had alot of samples & ended up being close to 50 MB in size which is 102 times the stock AXS directory size, bracing for a crash I realized that AXS has NEVER CRASHED on me, EVER!

I think everything I have ever used has crashed, maybe not old Reason 2.5 years ago but at any rate it's a sparkling aspect of this little tracker...

I loved the ones that were free, then were not. I remember that happening with Cool Edit, didn't it?
