[Fmpro] Gigastudio/Mac

[Chris Alpiar]

I remember my first music computer I had a 386 running cakewalk for dos, my 
girlfriend at the time had a mac with performer 2 and everything at school 
(Berklee) was all Opcode, vision then studio vision pro - OH YEA Galaxy 
Librarian was just such a dream to work with. Vision was light years past 
cakewalk at that time with such an amazing UI and so many features that were 
so advanced, then POOF they went under and performer picked up the mac crowd 
and cakewalk stayed the pc choice. I had this way way amazing 16 bit ISA 
card with 2 (TWO!!!) midi I/O channels and full on SMPTE so I could lock to 
8 track, well 7 after striping SMPTE... and then the art of bouncing tracks 
hehe, man it was annoying dealing with tape but it was really pretty awesome 
still
