@puffer @limebar @musicproduction Same when Gibson happened. It was a tough decision to make at the time, but I went to Studio One and I haven’t really looked back after that.

No particular expertise, but I have a degree in public planning and I know a lot about music. And I compose for fun.

@limebar @musicproduction Happy to share! And I enjoyed reading your story, and all the other ones as well, great idea!
I stopped using Cakewalk when Gibson messed up everything, and went over to Studio One.
After 25 years, I knew Cakewalk inside out, it felt like my DAW “home” and “identity” – and it was a big leap for sure. But honestly (and, at the time, begrudgingly!) Studio One was a revelation, and my productivity went through the roof. And so, I’m still with Presonus 😁
@limebar @musicproduction Age 0-10: Peeping through keyhole to dad’s band room, learning English obsessing over LPs (but no turntable!), banging half-skinned snare drum - finally a wonky piano.
Age 10-20: Tubaist w/ professional ambitions, piano terrorist
Age 20-30: Bands, musicals as pianist
Age 22-52: From Cakewalk 3.0, ever more possessed by production, mixing, arranging, synth progr.
Biggest pro: Music theory
Biggest con: Never properly investing, realising too late it’s my life passion!
@puffer @limebar @musicproduction I used that for a while, too! I used it for audio because my version of Cakewalk at that time only did MIDI – if I remember correctly, that is… so many years ago!
