Master Phruby Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Does anyone have a list of professional songs that were created on Atari ST machines? I know White Town's Your Woman was done on an ST. Any others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Payne Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Didn't know that. Love that song. Of course, that is probably because it sounds a bit like the Star Wars theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uji Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I think Robert Miles - Children, and perhaps more of his songs (I saw him using one on stage while watching top of the pops back in the 90's) and obviously Fatboy Slim. But that's all I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixelmischief Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 The ST and later the Falcon were ubiquitous in production studios in the 80's and early 90's. Electronic music mainstays like Tangerine Dream and Fatboy Slim were well-known for their use of Atari systems specifically, but any act that leveraged time from a professional production studio was very likely to have at least part of their work done on an Atari.

ilaskey Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Between about 1987 and 1995 it would be easier to say which ones weren't. As Pixelmischief says, they were in every studio. Live, I've seen them on stage with Jarre, Sparks and many more. Steinberg Pro24 and later Cubase was everywhere as were patch editors and music generators like M. Every band I knew personally used them too so from small bedroom based set ups through to Jarre! Add in a couple of Akai samplers and some of the extra hardware like the SMPTE boxes, you could do anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FastRobPlus Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I don't know of a list, but Mike Oldfield credits the ST on some of his early 90's albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMaddog Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 No mention of Fleetwood Mac? Mick Fleetwood worked with Jimmy Hotz to get a MIDI & ST setup for the Tango In The Night album. http://www.atarimagazines.com/startv3n1/makingtrackswithmidi.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
