I’m still using an Atari ST running cubase V from 1991. One thing I still think the atari has over alot of complicated modern VST set-ups is rock solid timing. Mine hasnt crashed for years!:)

id like to implement one of these into a studio, but i dont think you can get one for $10.. at least, not what ive seen. i was thinking about a c64, but its a pain finding a midi interface for them, and when you do they are expensive. atari has one built in which is very nice. one thing the c64 has is SID. i havent heard music created directly out of the ST, i guess its just used as a sequencer, not a synthesizer. still looking…

Lee Norris, who is Metamatics, Norken and Nachtplank used an Atari ST for everything he released so far (quite a backcatalogue, check discogs.com).

Macs, Ataris, PCs, I think it really doesn’t matter. The choice is important — you should choose a platform that works for you, and there are absolutely differences (especially if we’re talking an age-old Atari here!!) — but the point is, you can make music with any platform. Yes, including Linux, GameBoy, electrified abacus, whatever you come up with! And everytime I think I’ve seen it all, someone else comes up with some crazy new idea. So I was just suggesting ill-informed, ignorant bashing of users of other platforms is pointless.

Oh, and it’s mean, too. I don’t like mean people.

Thankfully, no readers like that here on CDM. Er . . . since I turned on registration for comments, anyway.
