"Maybe it's not a worry for the younger people of the world... it'll all be taken care of by Google, but for now, I'm just trying to figure out how to get a tape recorder to back up my Alesis SR16 drum machine so I can save those songs I wrote 20 years ago compatible with the current generation of readable formats."

"I've just recently bought East West's Complete Composers Collection. Reading the gumph that comes with it, it looks like I'm in for 23 hours of installing."

"I have songs written on the Sinclair Spectrum, Commodore 64, Commodore Amiga, my Yamaha SY77, Cubase seqeuncer files from an Atari ST then a Falcoln, then PC. All are unreadable on an up to date version of PC Cubase and that's just my little world."

"Worst of all will be my old analogue mixing desk, my Soundcrast Spirit Studio 32. My god, I loved that desk, it was so transparent, tracks would mix themselves and if you could really overload it to get nice crunchy percussion."

"Cubase for sequencing, and up to Timesplitters Future Perfect, I used an Akai S6000 sampler, Novation Supernova 2, Access Virus Rack XL and a Korg Trinity Keyboard. Pretty old school by today's standards."

"No, we didn't have devkits for a long time during that project. Equipment wise, we all had similar setups, I had the Roland JV1080, Ensoniq TS12, Yamaha SY77, Alesis SR16 and an Akai S3000 sampler."

@TheGamerPrime Remembered it now.. it was a sample from a Boss DR 660 drum machine

"When I started writing music I had a piece of manuscript paper and a piano. I didn't have any of the above, but I was able to scribble notes down which eventually were turned into music using an Amiga 500 and soundtracker."

"I still only stuck with 4 for the 2080. They were probably quite expensive. I swapped the Pop for the Voice one though, which was disappointing."
