Audio Development

CDI

Andron said this regarding the soundtrack for Tetris:

“

Primarily from a Yamaha TG-77 and a Roland JV-10, both rack mount. I really liked the Yamaha, such great, clear sounds with bite.

Digital Performer was, and still is, my DAW of choice.

I might have had Sample Cell then, but I don’t remember. I remember waiting five minutes for it to load 8 megs of samples!
