I was thinking of which software I actually used to make music though the years, so here is a chronological list:- Wavelab (One track, overdub)- Fruity loops- Dance- and HipHop Ejay- Cubase- Logic Pro- Studio One- Ableton Live- Bitwig
-
@dried I remember making a beat in Fruity Loops and then recording this whole jam with me sticking the mic on to the speaker to create feedback.
It was really reliant when it came to feedback
-
@ranjit I was a really happy Logic user for years, but totally forgot it until I started working with a local “several million plays” LoFi producer, who knew all the tips and tricks. Really great DAW still.
-
@musenhain uh! Atari, you don’t see a lot of that anymore.
Was that for recording or tracker/ish software?
@mosgaard Well, it was the first half of the 90s.
An Atari ST did the sequencing for my hardware synths (mainly a Korg Trinity and some 19"-synths I am not sure of which ones I owned at the time). The Falcon served as 8-track audio recording system: atari.soundpool.de/at_ie.htm (used for voice, guitar, field recording elements, already mixed down sequencer master track).

@mosgaard This is fun!
- Reason 1.0
- Digital Performer
- Emagic Logic Gold
- Pro Tools
- Various 24 track and 16 track tape machines from Ampex, Studer, MCI, & OtariI’ve never stopped using Reason or Pro Tools and I don’t bother trying to talk clients out of recording to tape: if they’re serious about it, I’m a solid choice and I’m rarely the cause of sessions taking longer than the artist has budgeted).

@mosgaard for me it went:
- Audacity
- Logic Pro
- Audition (in an undergrad music tech course, just for a bit)
- Max/MSP
- Pure Data
- REAPERAll of these except for Audition I still use regularly

Cubase
Cubase w/Reason
ProTools w/Reason
just Reason(I still like Reason!)

@kingdomkrumb that's great! I tried Reason a couple of times, but never really got into the workflow. But have been using the plugin-version ever since, to get access to mostly the samplers.
What kind of music do you produce with it?

@reillypascal what a diverse list! Do you only use Max/MSP stand alone?
I actually still use Audacity to rename meta-data in Wav files sometimes

@fadersolo It have to be joy working a place, where the tape machines are kept running like that.
Is Pro Tools the usual digital recording solution at your place?

)

@mosgaard Yeah, all the large format studios I’ve encountered in both northern and Southern California are always built around Pro Tools. Many have HDX cards, like my spot, which really levels Pro Tools up a notch.
-
@lagu totally forgot everything about Fasttracker! I actually think that was my first music software, but it was in an after school club I used it.
How is Tracktion?
@mosgaard I think it's awesome. I used UAD Luna for a bit, and while it was a very nice GUI and workflow, it was very unstable on macOS. Waveform 13 is super solid, very fast and also works very well on linux.
️ -
@tourte great list! Can you work using the apps through Debian / Wine, or does it give you any limitations?
@mosgaard No limitations on my LMDE workstations. A minimum of 16 or 32 GB of RAM is required. On the ZorinOS distro, Wine is already preconfigured, you just need to install software like on Windows.

@tourte that sounds great! I’m using a lot of Windows plugins, but in my Native Linux daw, since I had a hard time getting a decent latency in the Windows DAW.
Zorin is great for this stuff! I use CachyOS for performance.

Also shout outs to Reason and Logic Pro (my old-faithful, started at Express 7 and upgraded and used it until i switched fulltime to Bitwig/Linux about 2-ish years ago)

@mosgaard Cubase (Atari STe then TT030); Logic; Pro Tools; Reaper (a bit); now giving Ardour v.9 a go. All on Macs various.

@mosgaard since M4L only works in Ableton, I use it stand-alone. I do have RNBO, so I'll play with that, and I sometimes use Plugdata, which lets you use Pd as a plugin
