This year marks my 20th year using Cakewalk.  I still remember getting my first Twelve Tone Systems Cakewalk sequencer on floppy disks in 1993 and was simply astonished at the technology at my disposal that I could now actually synchronize a sequencer playing MIDI drums and synth parts with my guitars and vocals on my DA-88 using MTC.  Surely this was the epitome of music technology made available to the masses!
 
It has been amazing watching the progress of music technology since then, especially technology made affordable for so many people.  I can't wait to see what happens next...

right on man.
started with pro audio 9 for me.
 
what a great program we have here.
 
2 nights ago I had one of the greatest recording sessions in my life with two bands in my studio recording the foundation tracks to over 20 songs.
 
I love this daw.

Things have definitely changed a lot. Since then... we now have the Internet, virtual instruments, DAW software apps that mimic entire studios in a box, etc. I'd still like to know where my Star Trek transporter is though... I would love to get rid of my car and just walk into the transporter to visit family and friends in different parts of the country/world.

Been using CW since the DOS days. I think that may have been over 25 years ago? I miss Greg...

I am hoping to someday learn how to stop the blinking light on the coffee maker's clock (used to be something called a VCR did the same thing).
