The cheapest MIDI home-studio of 1988

Debuglive is back and better than ever! I missed this bloke.

Anyways, I watched this nearly 30-minute video, and not only is the video a fantastic history lesson for youngsters like me, it made me realise just how advanced iOS truly is. A budget set-up back in 1988 costed more in 1988 dollars than an iPhone SE in today's dollars. In 1988 I don't think anyone could've imagined the fact that one day we'd be able to fit all of the equipment Debug's talking about into the palm of our hands!

Cubase 1.5 as seen in the video is far less advanced than Cubasis 3 is, less advanced than Gadget, NS2, AEM, Logic Pro, AUM, and other iPad sequencers, workstations, and DAWs. Heck, Cubasis 1.5 was less advanced than, say, Xewton Music Studio. However, the music Debug created in the video is awesome and has that endearing late 80s cheesiness due to the sounds used, and I love it!

All that being said, this video made me appreciate what I already have and to stop pining for what I don't have on iOS. Instead of lamenting no binaural panner in Logic nor lack of other things, I realised I'm spoilt for choice, even in just Gadget alone with its plethora of synths and effects. Even though I've been using NS2 recently, I want to return to Gadget to see what I can come up with just using Darwin's/iM1's default card and work within those limitations to come up with something musically pleasing, even if it sounds like late 80s cheese. :lol:

  • I'll watch this in a bit for nostalgia value - OG Cubase/Atari 1040ST user here from 1989. Bought them along with a Roland D110 at the same shop for about £2000.

  • Really missed his presence. Wow... he really makes awesome use of those older gear :wink:

    Man that's pretty cool! :) Part of me wishes to save up to purchase that old gear just to work within the limitations, but just like with the OP-1 Field GAS, I realise I have more than all I need just on my Mini 6. :) Heck, even on my 2nd Gen iPhone SE. I have all that I need.

    Yes he sure does mate! :) I used to watch his videos quite often a while ago, and then he just stopped. When the above-linked video was recommended in my feed, I had to do a double take to see if that was indeed Debuglive. Inspiring video! :)

  • I let out a 'Wooo' when he brought out the Kawai. I had the Kawai K4r and Steinberg Pro 24 on my Atari ST. Nowadays DecentSampler gives me the best Kawai presets (like Moon Child) although I wish I'd kept the original!

    I never was able to get into DecentSampler given I have Beathawk, Module Pro, and PSP2 eating up my Mini 6's storage. But yeah, each time he brought out a new thing to ogle, I was like "yes!" Then when he popped in Cubase 1.5, I was so happy. I couldn't stop grinning at his video.
