Hello after 6-years break. ;-)
This time I wanted to make entire album in the MIDI technology and connect some synths (both: modern and vintage ones) to two classic computers: Atari ST and Amiga 500 to check out the workflow. To test how they - and their software - compare to modern DAWs.
So, from me the modern DAWs obtain 0/10 point and Amiga/Atari computers with their MIDI software obtain 10/10. For comfort, ease of use, no lags whatsoerver and so on. And additionally in the Amiga case - for graphic aesthetics of the program.

I make chiptunes on ZX Spectrum computer since 1989. Its AY chip offers 4-bit sound, 3 channels + white noise generator, square wave and several 'buzzers'. Or 3 channels of 4-bit digital sound, but then I have to fit all samples in 48Kb of RAM. :) My other machines: Amiga 500, Amiga 1200, Atari Falcon 030, NES/Famicom, Raspberry Pi and others. The bands I founded: AY-RIDERS and also YM-DIGITAL.
