I started with a spectrum rubber keyboard! My first tune was yesterday (beep-beepbeep)
I then bought a YAMAHA 8 track music computer with an 8 track cartridge, then an Atari with stereo outs, and finally, my first pc, which came with a free Steinberg 12 track
pro 12 recorder, which I quickly upgraded
to a pro 24 and finally Cubase! Musical heaven!
I remember these days fondly as I was just getting into making digital music using my Spectrum computer. I upgraded to an Amiga in the early ’90s and then up to PC in the mid ’90s. Still producing on PC to this day although obviously not on the same hardware!!
Yes – Atari Falcon – by the time I could afford a Mac we were into Logic V9 :)
Ah, but anyone under 30 will take it for granted; it’s nice to remember when it was all still shiny and new, thanks for the reminder!
