@mosgaard Logic to Reaper. But still use logic for a few things.

[lagu@social.lol]

@mosgaard Something like FastTracker 2 -> Jeskola Buzz -> FL Studo -> (long break, nealy 10 yrs) -> hardware/DAW-less -> hybrid hw/eurorack + Tracktion Waveform + digital mix and FX.

[billyjoebowers@mastodon.online]

@mosgaard

Cool Edit Pro -> Pro Tools

Side quests in

Logic
Ableton Live
Tracktion
Digital Performer
Ardour
and more

[mortenzw@mastodon.world]

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.

@mosgaard Here's my list:
- Csound

[thaell@musicians.today]

@mosgaard I think it went :

Fl studio (cracked I'll admit)
Ableton
Cubase
Reaper

I did try Ardour and lmms at the same time as reaper but ended up choosing the latter

[jmorahan@mastodon.ie]

@mosgaard

Audacity
Jazz++
Rosegarden
Ardour

@Morten Mosgaard Pro Tools. Cubase/Nuendo. Reaper. Wavelab. Pure(Plug)data.

[dried@sonomu.club]

@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!

[jvw@musicians.today]

@mosgaard

My music recording tech journey goes something like this:

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 + Reaper

I 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?

[mosgaard@uddannelse.social]

@billyjoebowers wow, Cool Edit Pro! Totally forgot that one. I’m not completely sure where it would be in my list, somewhere around FL and the Ejays.

[mosgaard@uddannelse.social]

@matthewconroy that’s one impressive list!

[mosgaard@uddannelse.social]

@elsemusic you just need Reaper on FreeBSD and you have all the desktops

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).

[mosgaard@uddannelse.social]

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