[Liverpool] Retro Computing

[Dan Lynch]

I use a DAW most of the time these days, I only used the Atari at school
when I had the chance. I then moved onto Cubase when I was older and could
afford a PC. As a MIDI sequencer yeah the Atari is great, simple and still
powerful enough, I know people who still use them. These days I'm doing a
lot of digital audio work with big wave files and so on. I used to use a
separate tape recorder in the studio as a lot of people did and sync to the
midi sequencer with a SMPTE timecode track. These days it's in one PC tower.
As long as you get the end result sounding right it doesn't matter what you
use :)
