Does anyone remember that program from the late 90s?

[Scarpozzi]

It was free and allowed you to make your own music....basically had a ton of channels and you could lay down a bass track, drums, etc....it used wavtable midi technology. I forgot the name of it, but it was really popular because of all of the features. A friend of mine from college spent some time with it and made like a 7 minute song that I have on my MP3 player right now...(good running music)

Any ideas? If I see the name, I'll remember it.

Kazaa, Napster, or Grokster is all I can think of.

Not P2P....it's an actual program people used to lay tracks. It was pretty awesome too. I'm going to see if I can find it, but a lot has come out in 8 years.

hehe, i know.

Would be interested in finding out what it is. If you had $500ish Reason is quite nifty, but that's not quite Free.

you may be thinking of sonic foundry Acid? that was fun stuff...

there was also buzz machines..but that wasn't so much track based as instrument/effect modeling...

Perhaps Audio Forge?

Nope. I'm actually searching for it pretty actively... But it's difficult since I can't remember the name. It was today's woot that got me thinking about the program... I'd like to find something that's easy to use that I can mix some tracks together and maybe synthisize a beat in the background...

well you could do that with audacity + buzz machines but buzz takes a lot of learning...and its not all in one program. good luck finding it...
