Is that what they call us? I'll be 63 in august. I still feel like I'm 36 .

Almost-geezer... 59 next month.  
Love energetic, upbeat music... playing, recording, & mixing.

we'll start at over 60??  And what is the main "drive" for doing computer audio?
 
anyone over 70?
 
I'll be 61 in a week...    phew...time flies.

I'll be 70 in August! I started my band in 1956 and retired it in 1996. As you can see from my Avatar, I'm into home recording big time. Started home recording in the 80swith an Amiga computer, a Fostek 8-channel tape recorder, ARP Odessey, , and kept updating and expanding. Body of a geezer, but spirit of a 20 year old!

who are the geezers around here that use X3?

I turned 61 this past February.
 
I've been ITB since SONAR 6/7. I've owned Cakewalk since PA-4. I only skipped SONAR 2 (for some unknown reason).

3 grandchildren here (16, 14, & 3), and one on the way (due in November).
 
 

Fifty um..... two I think, yeah that's it, 52 here.
 
And I still rock harder than you sonny. :-)

Born Valentine's Day in '53

One week earlier my Antiquarian water brother from another mother.

Ok this is the 1st time in a loooong time I've felt like the young guy at 55.

It would appear some "children" are padding their post counts!
Only "Geezers" need reply

Inside every geezer is a 21-year-old who looks into the mirror and thinks "WTF? when did THAT happen?"

Full On Geezer... Turned 62 in January but hey... at least I'm not as old as I feel !! Who'd a thought it? It's an Amazin' time to be alive. Doin' pretty good too. Able to sit up and eat! Got an eye on a new Scooter Chair...

I resemble that remark (64 and there's so much more ). 
 
I do it because I love music and my humble attempts at composition and production are very rewarding at a very deep personal level.
 
Regards,

Will ya still need me?  Will ya still feed me?

Just turned 62, but I don't feel like 62, more like 42, maybe even 32 on a good day.  Started back in the 60's with reel-to-reel tape, then on to cassette, then on to Teac 2340 tape deck, then on to Tascam 8-track, then finally to computer.  Somewhere, also have a Teac/Tascam 24-track portastudio as well as a Fostex 16-track portastudio (hard drive based). Been using Cakewalk since the inception.  Just started performing again after a 32-year hiatus due to work constraints (retired now), and digging it.  Playing in two bands, one a classic rock band, the other a Chicago type horn band.  Still record my creative stuff as I have always done.  Also working on my bands' websites as well as my own, personal website.  I met a guy back in the seventies (retired highway patrolman) who is now 74 and we get together weekly to record in Sonar with me doing the background tracks and he doing the lead vocals.  This has really helped me a lot since it keeps me up to par, especially doing the background vocals and all of the instruments as well as troubleshooting problems with computer recording.  We've put a couple of CDs out already, working on number three.

75 here. Many years spent in the outskirts of the music industry-in the music reproduction arena. H.H. Scott, KLH research and Development and Acoustic Research were among the companues I spent time with. Moved on to clinical psychology and them Management development trainings and organizational devlopment. After retiring I discovered I had lots of songs I wanted to record, ballads and folk style. So far 6 CDs with another in the workd just for friends and family only.
What a wonderful time to be alive with all the possibilities of DAWs and sampled software!!
Sonar X3e 64 bit All Garritan libraries, many ethnic sample libraries, Kurzweil keyboard etc...

I'm 63 and started composing at 11.  I played in bands when I was in my teens and early twenties, but quickly tired of both pop music and shlepping equipment around.  After doing 12 years of commercial scoring for games, animation, TV, film, dance and documentaries, I decided to switch directions and focus on composition and music production as an end in itself.   I'm now working on my 13th album, teaching and doing my workshop, Beyond the MIDI Mockup, www.jerrygerber.com/beyondthemidimockup.htm.
 
I was one of the first American composers to do an entire TV series using MIDI, back in 1987-1988, The Adventures of Gumby.  In those days the instruments were primitive compared to what we have available now.  My first sampler stored samples on a floppy, the 12-bit resolution and the tiny number of samples (about 4 for the solo violin) was simply insufficient to produce a beautiful, versatile instrument.  Now I am using the VSL Orchestral Cube, and the solo violin consists of 10s of thousands of 24-bit samples, a true musical experience can be achieved.
