I was told that Chris' site Oldschooldaw is gone... I just checked and that appears to be true...

I hope all is ok, is was the last good reference for DOS, Win31, Win95 and other resources

It appears to be suspended… like when you don't take care of $$$

Here's hoping he gets it back together.

I had a feeling you guys wouldn't loose any sleep over it 

I just feel bad for his members who spent the time to post very important reference material for old DAWs and now that stuff is probably gone forever.

I found a backup folder of the stuff that was on Adrive before the infamous "crash" so I will try to make the time to go thru it at the end of 2022 and see if we can expand our downloads a bit.

just glad i copy pasted my partial cubase history i was working on to a txt before it went down, excited about that adrive. lets give digital audio the history it deserves, os9 being a part of its way

And how can I help him, does anyone have his contacts?

[FBz]

Erm… for those that have been ‘round here for any length of time
and know firsthand of the antics AND the many returning
(seemingly perpetual) incarnations of Chris -

I would not count OldSchoolDAW (or Chris himself) completely G-O-N-E.

“NEW” OldSchoolDAW??? 

[teroyk]

but well, it is a windows site.

Actually it wasn't windows site only...there was information for all old systems including Mac OS 9. And I stopping on those pages when I tried find info about rare hardware.

Maybe we can donate a few $ and get oldschool back up and running, there were definitely important resources and documentation for BOTH hardware (samplers, synths, interfaces, etc) and software there were unique and lost from the web.  I am sad for DOS and Win31 users because you can't find real details of this stuff currently on the Web.  I wanted to add some cross-platform stuff here in the past, but it will complicate our site.  Chris had the stuff covered that we didn't so it was nice to have it up and running

[smilesdavis]

exactly he just needed to say something

i would have put a superrare cubase light green cubase lpt dongle on ebay to fund a few years of oldschooldaw
