Is anybody here from the good old days? (yrs2000-2005)

I think this is the right Mike- if so a great article and statement about the many great musicians who have posted and some that continue to post here. Similar things are probably posted on the old forum- so newer members can appreciate this

If I can’t remember the year I first came to cubase.net, does that mean I was there in the good Ol daze?

This is what the forum needs I think lmao- but some parts might be more than ambiguously gay lol- has anyone posted this yet? Is this guy on here? you gotta watch starting at about 12 seconds into it

No, it means you’re over 50… :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

(Not making fun of older dudes…it’s just reality. I’m one and I forget things all the time. Wait…what was I talking about? :laughing: )

Yeah, I saw this before. Great fun! :laughing:

He still exists. :astonished:

But according to the statistics more active in the C6 forum.

I don’t think he cares much for C7, at least based on a lot of his comments. I don’t blame him either.

Aloha guys.

While pondering the title of this thread I came to realized that there is probably a
14 year old kid somewhere on this planet using Cubase that was not even alive in 2000.
And is most likely is very good at ‘Cubasing’.

Whoa!! Talk about; ‘thangs that make ya go…huh’.


This from some episode of ‘Star Wars’:
‘You don’t want to sell me deathsticks’…‘I don’t want to sell you deathsticks’
‘You want to go home and rethink your life’…‘I want to go home and rethink my life’.

The ‘rethinking my life’ part is precisely what I am doing these days
and this thread is a gentle reminder.

{‘-’}

… whose parents may have even met here.

More likely at “Cubasising”… :smiley:

The crowd in the cloud
Too loud
Rain of pain
On Steiny’s brain

I knew a muso from Nantucket
When a MIDI note jammed, he’d unstuck it,
He played a mean guitar,
When noise arrived from afar,
He’d reverse the coils and buck it!

I’m still here !!

But > Keeping a very low profile these days…

I miss Paul & Bas & Hippo though

We had some great fun back then !!!

I thought the good old days were when the Atari and Pro24 were hot :laughing:

I wonder what happened to “Brains” (and all his variants) and Conman? Had many a spat with them, Paul Woodlock was usually there to pour petrol on the flames. Paul was merciless (and very knowledgeable) and frequently mentioned Brains’ “rubber drum kit”.

Those were the days! :smiling_imp:

What ever became of Trogdor the Burninator?

I miss the trolls! And Evil Child, and Paul and Mike E. :frowning: Learned about 80% of what I know now engineering/mixing wise from the great tips these guys posted. More orderly here now, but also much more boring. A bit sterile :confused:

Two words, more bratwurst (or is that three?) :open_mouth: !

:laughing:

I’ve been around the Cubase forum in its various incarnations since 1998. That was indeed a heady time – the simultaneous explosion of two relatively new technologies, the Internet and the DAW, brought all kinds of peeps to the forums. When I first got here, there wasn’t any “lounge” per se – people posted all their extraneous stuff in the Cubase for Windows section (if I recall). When that became unmanageable, the powers that be added the Lounge section. When Azlbrax finally got banned, chams (a dude from Canada) started an alternative forum called thisplace.ca that took the insanity to new levels, since the moderation was purposefully light-handed. There have been at least 4 other break-away forums since that one, including Nerg’s, JC’s “Ethel Merman” site, Smeggy’s, and another one that me, Paul, Bill, and Kevin (Dark Irish) spent a fair amount of time at (I can’t recall who started that one, however – I think it actually may in fact have been Bill himself). Of all the old-timers, I still interact with Woodlock almost every day, Kim (UnkelGrusom) pretty often using Facebook’s imitation-Skype app, as well as Nick occasionally. Lenny Lee used to be on Facebook on a regular basis, but I rarely see him anymore. I know surfer, Mr. Mahogany, and HowlingUlf are still around here, and they were there way back when. But yes, I remember many many names – seems like a long time ago, but I guess it wasn’t THAT long ago. If I tried to list all the ones I recall, it would be really long. Maybe in my spare time I’ll do that –

BTW – Mark R Hodge was right about not singing falsetto. He was a counter-tenor (although most modern countertenors employ falsetto). The thing about him is that he had Asperger’s Syndrome
