What was your first computer ?
The first computer I owned was a Sinclair ZX81. The first computer I ever
used was a DEC TOPS-20. The first computer I made music with was an
Amiga 1000.
What was the first music/sound software you used that
really hooked you
into this making-music-with-computers fad ?
Dr.T's KCS (Keyboard Controlled Sequencer, I think). Using that with
the Amiga, my Casio CZ-101 (I miss that synth), and a VestaFire 4-track
cassette deck was a lot of fun.
I later got an audio digitizer that connected to the serial port and
allowed me to do rudimentary audio editing. I was doing a fair amount
of production work for radio back then, and the first time I edited a
promo on the Amiga, I retired the grease pencil and razor blade. I don't
remember what the program was that I did the editing in, though.
