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

@mosgaard for me it went:
- Audacity
- Logic Pro
- Audition (in an undergrad music tech course, just for a bit)
- Max/MSP
- Pure Data
- REAPER

All of these except for Audition I still use regularly

@mosgaard
Cubase
Cubase w/Reason
ProTools w/Reason
just Reason

(I still like Reason!)

Morten Mosgaard

@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?

Morten Mosgaard

@tourte great list! Can you work using the apps through Debian / Wine, or does it give you any limitations?

Morten Mosgaard

@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

Morten Mosgaard

@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
- Band In A Box
- Garageband
- Garageband
- Garageband (I picked it back up a few times )
- n-Track Studio (test)
- MTP Beats (test)
- Ardour
- Reaper

@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.

@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. ️

@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.

Morten Mosgaard

@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.

@tourte @mosgaard Atari Mega 4 with Cubase 2 was my first entry into Music, still used it up until 2008 somewhere for the best Midi clock ever built. 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.

Reilly Spitzfaden (they/them)

@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
