IDK - the first DAWs were made for the Amiga. If the Amiga hadn't already died-out by the early-ish 90's then I'd imagine Pro Tools would have been created on that and there would be a very real possibility we'd still be using Amigas today.
- criddell 3y agoDidn’t the Atari ST own the DAW space at that time?
- taylodl 3y agoWell, they did have Creator which went on to become Pro Tools. As I recall, its big thing was MIDI sequencing whereas the stuff for the Amiga was more content creation-oriented. Add in the fact that the Atari ST was cheaper and I guess that was that!
- reaperducer 3y agoThe ST ate everyone else's lunch (in the DAW world) because it had built-in MIDI. In a world where the Amiga didn't need an external MIDI interface, I suspect things would have been different.
- Flow 3y agoIt did. Reasons are 1. Built-in MIDI interface. 2. High-resolution screen available, 640x400, 60Hz monochrome. 3. Simplistic operating system, the DAW software had 100% control of all hardware and timings.
