Tons of tracks, man, gotta listen to them.

I've started to release older tracks from 2013 that I made in collaboration with Exit 77, another project of mine and two other arists.

Two done, 8 to go...

I'm goobing very hard to this beat.

I like the El Chlorato track a lot too. It's like a kraftwerky take on the mr scruff sound - it's cool.

If it's not too cheeky to ask, what DAW do you use? I've been looking at them on YouTube, might given it a bash - but it's a long time before I'll share anything here as it's almost guaranteed my first few attempts will suck balls.

I've also recently dug an amiga 500 out the attic, maybe it's worth me taking a look at Octamed.

No DAW, all hardware. Synths, drum machines, sequencers. I used to use Reaper for some years for recording purposes (single stereo recording, no takes, no overdubs) but nowadays I'm using Audacity, it's just right for what I need (and it's free).

I was big into Amiga, bought my first one (A1000) in late 86, then sold it and got an A500 with mem expansion and an empty sidecar to which I later on added a 80 MB GVP hd. Was a member of a cracker group and did lots of music for intros/demos, among other things. Used the A500 as a sampler for a while for the next stage of my music making from about 1989 onwards, then it gradually got phased out and replaced by a PC. Sold the whole lot about 20 years ago for a price that prolly would make some people die foaming at the mouth. A1000 (bought another one in 1990 just for fun), A500 with loads of mods, two P6 matrix printers, 1084S monitor, two dozen joysticks/pads/trakballs/etc., interfaces, HD, sidecar and a fuckton of software for 500 bucks. Oh well.

I still play some games via emu but my Amiga time is more or less history. I got back to my old love, the Atari ST. The Amiga is better than the Atari in many aspects (mainly gfx/visuals) but on the gaming side, there's tons of stuff that's way better on ST and then there's the music/MIDI thing. Notator on ST used to be my #1 sequencer for a long time, I still use it for special projects. The ST and its concept may not be as fancy as the Amiga but they're wayyy more convenient and to-the-point. Less babble, more action, so to speak.

But...

Actually I wanted to tell you guys that the Techno Police called me, they said the last Synthwaffle thingie track or whatever it is was shit so I took out my 909 (or RD-9 to be precise) and me ol' Casio and got goin...->

I'm very, very impressed that you are doing all that in hardware. That's a lot of steady hand, mixing and skill that also gives a more organic sound than the perfectly equalised but samey sounding stuff people get from a DAW. To be fair to them, a lot of hardware is expensive to get started with as a beginner I guess.

The Atari ST is probably (well almost definitely) a better tool for music production than the Amiga but I have no nostalgia / memories of dicking about with an ST when I was a young kid so as a hobby which might fly or die I'm going to try the Amiga route. Probably going to see if I can get it to talk to my Yamaha keyboard over midi and take it from there. Goteks, serial port to midi adapters, terrible 8 bit mono sampler cartridges here we go.

Look how sad, grimy and dirty this poor old thing is. I'll get it recapped asap as god knows when it was last turned on.
