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 :)<br>

I still have Notator and Logic :D<br>
<br>
I'm definitely an Atarian for music making, Logic is the best MIDI<br>
sequencer ever :)<br>

stuff guys :) I don't really have any old kit left sadly. I do remember<br>
making music on the Atari ST with Notator and Logic years back. I never<br>
owned one but got access to a machine in the school music room. I saw<br>
someone mention making music and the Atari and it made me all nostalgic<br>
hehehe<br>
