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

@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.

@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).

@musenhain ah, of course!

@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, & Otari

I’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
- REAPER

All of these except for Audition I still use regularly

@mosgaard
Abandoned, never forget :
- Cubase 2 (Atari ST)
- Pro 24 III (Atari ST)
- Cakewalk
- Samplitude
- Pro Tools
- Digital Performer

Still using, runs fine on Debian / Wine :
- Sequoia
- Emagic Logic Audio 5
- FL Studio
- Studio One

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

(I still like Reason!)

[mosgaard@uddannelse.social]

@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?

[mosgaard@uddannelse.social]

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

[mosgaard@uddannelse.social]

@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

[mosgaard@uddannelse.social]

@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?
