Chris Strobel

Thank you for visiting my website and for your interest in my services!

My name is Chris, and for more than thirty years involved in making music - especially electronic music. I'm excited to be a part of your creative projects – whatever you want to accomplish, let's talk about it and find a way to reach your goal!

NoiseTracker, in the early 1990s one of the first music trackers for the Amiga, sparked my passion for music creation. While I had a Casio keyboard with limited presets, the tracker offered a unique way to combine short samples and build complete songs, despite its technical limitations compared to modern tools.

The Amiga had a soundcard—something that was very expensive and uncommon in the PC world during those days—and thus was able to create somewhat realistic sounds and playback samples. On YouTube, you can check out what the geniuses of the tracker scene were able to create back then—electronic music that still sounds kind of impressive.

In the 1990s, music production was still largely done outside the computer. While Pro Tools existed for big studios, it was expensive and required specialized hardware, and Cubase for Atari ST was beyond my reach. I played in bands, recording on cassette tapes and sharing them at school. My first experience with software resembling modern DAWs came in 1997 with "Techno Maker." After a break from music in the early 2000s, I returned in 2011 to a transformed landscape of powerful DAWs and capable computer hardware. I started with GarageBand, progressed to Logic, and eventually discovered Ableton Live through a YouTube video. Ableton Live, coupled with Push, became my go-to DAW, although I also enjoy using FL Studio and occasionally Logic for larger recording projects.
