Well it started here…
Then went here pretty quickly : SB Pro 24 on Atari ST
The list editor blew my mind!
Then I had to sync the two up… that was expensive
And it’s been pretty much out of control since that day!! Though on the iPad orders of magnitude cheaper to match my talent level ;-)
AH! Same here: MOTU Performer 1.0 running on a MacPlus and an Akai S900. This was my world for roughly a decade (slowly adding other Akais) and in retrospect this setup is the workflow dragon I’ve been chasing to this day.
Lol, started on the same Tascam 4 track, today I’m knee deep in Ipad and Mac apps but part of me missed the old Tascam days so I decided to put Tascam back in the loop lol
Director-S on the Roland S-50 sampler. Quite fun and fast to work with.
The only sequencer that I was able to operate with closed eyes (using RC-100).
This was the very beginning.. The miracle of multitrack recording brought home..
My first foray into music software was probably Hammerhead (thanks @brambos) and Stomper Ultra++. I used to visit a website called Sonicspot and I would download freeware onto a floppy disk during art class.
My first DAW would have been Sonic Foundry Acid DJ that I found at a Best Buy (which was about 1.5 hours from where I lived).
No pics here, but first pc music software was Cakewalk and Sound Forge in like ‘97. Then in like ‘98 I bought a Mac laptop and fist Mac music software was Unity Ds-1, Steim’s LiSa, and Metasynth. Before that late 80’s was tascam 4 track, and early 90’s was sequencing on Ensoniq EPS.
Magix Music Studio circa 2001, and Fruity Loops 3.0 circa 2001 (pirated of course, as was the style at the time)
What a gorgeous thing!
Cubase on the Atari ST was the computing technology that powered my earliest studio setup but I remember being particularly hooked on the possibilities of software synthesis when Native Instruments released the precursor to Reaktor in 1996 - Generator.
This review in Sound on Sound is for Generator 1.5 (published in 1998). You can see the roots of the Reaktor UI/UX already taking shape.

I'd dabbled with Cycling 74's Max/MSP before Generator but it was Generator that gave me the belief that software synthesis was going to be a viable new aspect of music technology. When Propellerheads released Rebirth in 1997 it was clear that software synthesis would crossover to a broader audience too.
