My journey started with a tracker on the Amiga 500. Years later then i had music 2000 on the ps 1 on a channel to my mixer on the turntables, and would flick from phono to line like a 3rd deck O⁠_⁠o not long after I had a copy of cool edit pro 2.0 and would record with pc sound recorder and a old mic and input the sounds (not knowing what snap to grid was) and would line up the beats manually. Then my friend gave me a disc with random cracked software's on and vile videos (I bet most of you remember) and it also had a copy of cuebase sx on there and started to enjoy using that around this time I also had a random pc magazine disk with Ableton live 1 on (wich at the time was only the live window with just a filter and I think a few effects delay reverb etc) then I found a copy of flstudio 5 online and started Messing with that while still using cuebase and bouncing down files for stems then stayed with fl for quite sometime till around Ableton 6/7 and from there never looked back. I try almost every new daw that comes out still and like a few of them presonus studio at the moments really nice cuebase is overkill but Ableton is life!!! (Tldr)
