... first of all making or producing music in and with a computer.
And that is not a question of Windows, Mac, Linux or even portable operating systems like Android or iOS. Solutions or all platforms - paid or for free - can be found easily searching the web.
Since I started my first trials on 'computer music' ages ago with a Texas Instruments TI-99/4a and destroying it due to overload, the idea of being able to create tunes all by myself never left me.
My next machine was a Commodore Amiga 500 in the late 80s. The first approach on creating tunes was invented in the gaming and demo scene. As you can imagine the programs looked and behaved quite technical and didn't have a real musical claim. Something to pimp the games was needed. The second point - which is almost of same importance - was the emerging Techno music since the middle of the eighties.
To give you an idea of how those programs looked, here's a screenshot of famous 'Soundtracker'. The picture is linked from Wikimedia, check for source and more info.
Coming up next: Bars & Pipes for Amiga, a program that definitely had a higher music and even studio approach and Steinbergs Cubase. Here's the post.
Stay tuned & check back!
