Oldie. Started experimenting with tape splicing, reversing, double tracking, radio and electronic sounds and my own graphic notation whilst at school in the late 60's. Fortunate to have spent some precious time sitting-in at Abbey Road with Pete Bown, Alan Parsons and other engineers in the 4-16 track 2" tape era, picking up recording methodology and techniques by osmosis. Life intervened.
Revisited writing and producing and took up sequencing for personal enjoyment during the 90's and have continued ever since.
Triangle. Tend to input from keyboard and manually to DAW and produce and mix from there. Ok, ok, I have played clarinet, guitar but nothing to write home about!
Cubase in the 90's. Currently Waveform (because it's free, very functional and available for both PC and Mac) plus sometimes Cubase, Garageband, Cakewalk, Multiple VSTs,
Akai, Alesis
