    I had the first music software on my C64. I think it was called Advanced Music System. But there are no pictures of it.

    My first foray into anything music, at least electronic was as a very young teenager and using my ZX Spectrum with these.

    Any of you guys used to watch Microlive back in the 80s?

    My first synthesizer was the alphaSyntauri, way back in 1982. It was a pre-MIDI keyboard that connected to a dedicated Apple II add-in card. The accompanying software was the Mountain Computer Music System.

    Here's that software in action without the synth. Yes, it really was slow. (The sounds. however, were very good, as you can hear from the Phosphor 3 app from Audio Damage. It's an iOS clone of the aphaSyntauri's additive synthesis engine.)

    Edit: Here's an image I found with the synth-related software running in the background.

    Just like @lasselu : this was mine, cart as well. 1986, a very good year :):

    (I also had a SC Six-Trak about the same time. Wish I’d kept it…)

    I ran a DX7 and and a CZ-5000 with mine...

    Had a pirated really early version of Acid Pro, which spoiled with on how easy it was so early on (for me) to stretch audio clips. My memory of it today seems way ahead of anything I use today -- used to just track bits of guitar and stretch away until they fit together with other elements and sounded good. Didn't even consider at that point how insane that was!

    I hope we get something like this on iOS (maybe Loopy Pro if it gets timeline love in that direction, but probably unlikely). Cubasis could come close if it wanted to (but lots missing) and BM3 can kind of pinch hit / hack for this. For me Samplitude on PC has been the reigning champ for the past 25 years in this department. It is my photoshop of wav collage.

    Brings back memories of one of the first pieces of music I heard on the Amiga, John Farnham's You're the voice. Was pretty amazing at the time.

    Yes! I’ve still got my old Spectrum and Specdrum unit. Don’t know if it still works. I didn’t really make any music with it as I didn’t have anything else musical at the time! I seem to remember we were just marvelled and happy with programming it to replicate the famous Blue Monday beat 😁

    Fuck the Atari but man I wish I still had my Fostex 4 track. Can't even remember which one it was but was about that 89/90 period. Orange no brownie grey..

    With M1 and Akai rack sampler…..’89-ish.

    Yep, that's about the time. Was the coolest back then. SMPT time code enable us to do things that blew our tiny little minds.

    Me too. Controlling the tape machine from the sequencer was crazy cool.

    Striping a new reel of Ampex was a little ritual.

    Do you recall the nightmare when sync failed?

    Also TabIt. Which I still use now and then. Lots of unfinished ideas there.

    My first software sequencer is my ONLY software sequencer. I started with Mark Of The Unicorn Performer in the late 80s and it is still my main DAW today.

    This is not the earliest version I used but is the earliest disks I can still find:

    This was my first Mac and MIDI interface. I still have the interface, but alas put the Mac (which still worked perfectly) on the curb in around 2010.

    To be honest I don’t. I think it was pretty solid. I had an Opcode Studio 4 midi interface that did all the sync and it worked pretty well. I don’t remember any major sync failures. But it was a long time ago so it’s entirely possible I’ve just forgotten!

    Thanks to nostalgia I have fond memories of tape. Even though I couldn’t get rid of it fast enough when Logic went ‘audio’.

    @klownshed I just remember searching cables after cable to see what the issue was when a piece of gear failed to play.

    Also remember the joy of sitting on a bedroom floor with the 4 track recording guitar tracks. Not much by todays standards but at the time it was so cool even putting down 2 tracks of a song idea.

    Yeah I do remember tearing patch bays apart looking for the source of the buzz. Fun times.

    And powering down the EPS as it was overheating!

    This is a brilliant thread. Thanks for posting your pics.

    My first was Dr.T KCS sequencer for the Amiga, used to sequence my Rolend D10. I made quite a few tracks with that setup, very productive given how primitive it seems now. And you could change tempo and time signature through the song - something which is sadly missing in Cubasis 35 years later!

    🤣 I also used to have the PC version too.

    Steinberg Sequel 2. I created three tracks during the free trial I had. Uploaded them to MySpace and they’re totally lost now because MySpace wiped a bunch of data from back then.

    Don’t have any of my own pics but found it on eBay and figured it would be funny to look at the system requirements. This was back in the late 00’s.
