Bouncing stems for a daft 20th anniversary thing, I have all the backups but turns out i started it in Cakewalk 8 on Win 98 and Logic 4 on OS9 and finished it in Logic 5.5 (i think on Windows NT) and Protools on my G4 Powerbook.
After about a week of figuring out what's what and ripping drives, CDs, zip disks and floppies (which i've been putting off for years) I now have Logic 4 running on OS9 emulated on SheepShaver (on a Windows 10 PC)
and Logic 5.5 and Cakewalk 8 running on UTM Windows 98 emulating x86 (on my M1)
Using Arturias CZ and RetroSynth to emulate my Yamaha An1x and CZ3000, pumping midi back in to the same system over an Opcode interface.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
- Wow, fine effort. Sounds like a lot of fucking about?Ianbolton
- it is, but i like the idea of having all the files as hard drive images in the cloud along with the OS and applications - i've had a horde of data for yearskingsteven
- I've just put freehand and flash on the 98 machine too, so it's just like booting up my old Pentium III PC from 2000 with all my files - just in an emulatorkingsteven
- no, this just kills you. no strength gainedautoflavour
- it is mostly pain. but better than buying old computers just to bounce stems. i forget how much these old os's are dependant on 3rd party hardware and driverskingsteven
- had to use an old emagic and opcode interface just to get sound and midi out of os9. job done and i now have stems exported, and os + files in an imagekingsteven
- in the cloud so it dies with mekingsteven
