None.
But I find it sad/problematic that Spotify is flooded with AI-music. In some cases an artist perhaps mainly use AI to “record” the song, but I am pretty sure an increasing amount of songs are now fully AI composed and generated.

Two cassette players wired together,
TASCAM portastudio 414
`snd` on Debian
Audacity? I think? on Debian
definitely Audacity on Mint
Reaper on Mint
TASCAM DR24 + ReaperI still use the portastudio as an effects bus sometimes

@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?

That’s an impressive list of hardware recorders. To be honest I also started on a cassette machine and later minidisc (line out from a mixer into the line in on the minidisc).

@jrp are you using Plugdata for stage-performances/theatre?

@mosgaard the journey started with recording emo songs using a conferencing mic and windows 98 sound recorder. upgraded to audacity shortly afterward. lots more between then and now!
@dried this was my first mic, as far as I remember: https://www.reddit.com/r/nostalgia/comments/pjwfhs/the_gateway_2000_pc_microphone/
Lot’s of mid frequencies and natural saturation
