The Steel Guitar Forum

A very short article. How '90s Music Tech Paved the Way for Millions of Bedroom Musicians. Massive recording studios were suddenly able to fit on a desktop, record store's inventory could fit in the palm of your hand, and nothing was the same.

As a Windows user my biggest complaint is the author is Apple biased. For example he mentions Avid's ProTools was released in 1991 while Cakewalk was released in 1987.

My first ProTools rig (called SoundTools back then) set me back ten grand for a stereo only rig. (What did they use before ProTools? Pros….)

There were lots of options then. Cakewalk, N-Tracks, Samplitude, et al. Then digital goodies like Akai 4 track, then Alesis HD24, Tascam 2424, ADAT machines galore.

Just an opinion, but exactly all of these sounded great when used with a console.
