Topic Glad to be first
Hello everyone,

I started learning the classic piano when I was 10. After 8 years playing Mozart, Schubert and Chopin, I decided to start composing on my Atari 520 STF with Quartet (a 4 channel tracker) which was actually a lot more fun :D

I quickly ended up creating "experimental" tracks that were probably inspired from Master Jean-Michel Jarre work, but unfortunately nobody could tell. I keep a warm souvenir of the prehistoric technology of that period.

In 1993 I bought a PC and looked for some new software. I have been using FastTracker 2 and Buzz for a long time and did even some live performances with these softs (quite hard to imagine now...)

I always tried to promote the 100% software solution. Machines are still expensive for beginners who start their home-studio from scratch. Hopefully, we can now have good all integrated software that are complete virtual studios. We are far from a DX7 plugged to an Atari now... and Reason or Cubase do it all. I am not totally against machines as long as they sound good (and a lot of them do) but I definetly think that the main asset of machines is their touch feeling and interface. Their sound is or will be emulated sooner or later.

Let's be part of the computer music revolution !
