CoolEdit2000 - it's been on the Tools menu of ProAudio9, SHS7 and Sonar X1.

Since this has migrated from software to hardware. I still have the first amp I bought. It's a mid sixties Ampeg Reverberocket. I bought a V-4 stack in the mid '70's. Both cabinets were stolen but I still have the head. My main amp now is a '67 Super Reverb that is just super sweet. I bought it after the V-4 cabs were ripped off.

My oldest piece of gear is my very first keyboard... the Roland JX-8P. That baby can make some very cool sounds.

Mine is my first keyboard - Roland JX-3P.
 
DCOs, but nice VCFs and VCAs.

Hey jb,


Yeah, the JX-8P had DCO's too. They have a pic of it over at vintagesynth...

I have a Korg SG-1D as a master controller I still use everyday (knock on wood).  It use to be the best sampled piano...12 bit!  in fact, Bruce Horsby rented it from me for a concert in Milwaukee.  Purchased in 1991.

I use Eric Perching's Distorted Reality sounds still (Oil Can Bow is in my current project!),  those started in Akai sampler mode, migrated to Giga Studio and now Kontakt.  Must of gotten those in the early 90's

Looking around the studio I have Minimus 7 speakers from Radio Schack.  Those must be the oldest I have. I like to compose to them because 1) I'm use to them 2) No ear fatigue!!.   But i just use them to check mixes nowdays.  Those I believe are circa 1986.

I'll keep checking for more..I'm sure there other relecs I'm just not thinking of.

Oh yea, what about Sonar, starting with Cakewalk around 1990!   

Atari st and cubase. Still used on one project I do with one guy who swears by it.
It kind of has a sound/ quantisation to it.  Why bother with groove quantise when you can just string a load of synths into an st? Lol.

Lovely les Paul's btw, owned a 1979 for years, not in the same league as the ones above unfortunately.

Software wise it is my B4II. It’s the best sounding B3 IMO.

Hardware wise it would be my Yamaha TX81Z. I don’t use it much as I loaded all of it’s patches into FM8 but I still use it on occasion.

Excluding myself (born 1962), there’s a ’74 Rickenbacker 4001 bass (modified) and a Salora tube radio from the fifties or early sixties I sometimes use as a guitar amp. And the writing desk I have my computer displays and the monitor speakers on is built in 1921. Some of my homemade basses and the baritone guitar include birch wood from a tabletop I from the attic of our house – probably from the sixties.

Since you did say "software", I'd say none since everything has been upgraded to work with XP and then Windows 7 and 8. I've had Sonar since it was Cakewalk 1.1 and Band in the Box since it came out. 

As far as hardware, its all fairly old since with all the great plug-ins, I haven't had to buy any new hardware except a guitar or 2 and some stomp boxes. My favorites are my Fender Strat, Line 6 Variax, Digitech Vocalist and my StudioLogic 880 controller. I sold an old Micromoog years ago that I wish I would have kept, but that's about it. 

Cool Edit 2000

The oldest musical instrument that I own and still use is the Hugh Tracey kalimba from 1968 which I bought new.
