An exploration of the DAW landscape
Intro Recently I've really been getting into computer music and synthesizers again. It's been a long time interest of mine, especially the early nineties when I was studying in the university and had (took) a lot of time to delve into it. Back then I bought some classic hardware synths like the Roland D-50 and Alpha Juno-1 (both of which I still own), and created the Soundblaster AWE32 homepage (for its time a very powerful PC soundcard) together with a friend. In those days the DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) and VST (Virtual Studio Technology, first SDK version released in 1996) concepts hadn't really developed, mainly because the limited power of the PC's at the time, and the PC software available was basically MIDI editors like Cakewalk and Cubase . After university I got busy with work life and other stuff, so my music creation was basically halted to a stand still. Lately I've had much more free time and have decided to get into creating music again.
