mehguy Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I know that the ST was used a lot in the music industry and some people say that it's still being used today. But has anyone really seen one in action at a studio these days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atarilovesyou Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Maybe as a lo-fi sequencer?...MIDI trigger? Other than that..if it doesn't run Pro Tools, it won't be anywhere near a DAW. I'm sure some hipster is out there tinkering with it at home, and hey, why not? But I couldn't imagine how cumbersome it would be to use it to do anything other than the two things I mentioned. Even back then, the Mac was what I saw most guys using to do those things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMaddog Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 If something you're using for music still works, why replace it? I'm sure most musicians would rather spend time composing music instead of re-learning software that's always changing and updated every couple months. But OTOH modern laptops are better for taking on the road. Recently Fatboy Slim said he still uses his ST in the studio but on stage he's using a MacBook because of it's portablity, which makes sense.

I'm quite fascinated by this topic. I know nothing about music creation, but old tech used today in a meaningful way is interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakidski Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I'm sure most studios have one around, just to cover all bases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The video was more of a comparison of Amiga-ST gameplay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctor_shred Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 A couple of years ago my band rehearsed at a studio where they had an ST and SM214 monitor in the main sound room. I got all excited and asked the owner what projects he'd used it for and his reply... None. It was there for nostalgia only. Pity. I still used Cubase on an Atari as a MIDI drum sequencer / editor but I'm a hobbyist. I don't know of anyone using them professionally. There are a few people that use Notator / Creator as a composition tool I believe but most of them then transfer it to a modern DAW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
