Ral-clan is quite right, Atari music software didn't really get much love after the early 90's... Mostly just updates and bug fixes to existing software, from Steinberg etc...


To me it looks Atari was preferred by professionals and Amiga by amateurs :-)

I mean, music productions created on Amiga are mostly mod songs while on Atari some composers got their creations to hit charts.

This January, musician Jyoti Mishra - aka White Town - recorded "Your Woman" in his bedroom using an old multitrack Tascam and an Atari. Four weeks later, it entered the UK charts at Number One.


Jaakko Salovaara (you probably never heard him) was using Atari to produce dance few hits.

Not really, the TED was atrocious.

The SID is special because of the unique sound it makes, there is nothing else like it.


90% of original SID tunes are crap. To make good use of it you had to be good coder and also understand limitations of the sound chip.
