I have a Win98 rig purchased from the many-years defunct Soundchaser company in California. I believe the computer is still functioning; however, it's been a while since my last project. Looking to keep PARIS alive for as many years as possible, and I would like to know if it is still possible to have someone build a Win98 computer for me without having to go with an external chassis (too expensive). I'm not terribly erudite when it comes to computers, so please be gentle...
I do a lot of sequencing in my projects, creating MIDI tracks in Cakewalk 5 and then importing them to PARIS. Once in PARIS, I create digital audio files of my MIDI tracks. Not nearly as good as integrated MIDI would be, but I love PARIS otherwise. I also love my old Cakewalk, and am trying to avoid updating my software by staying in Win98.
My PARIS system consists of 3 EDS 1000 cards, an interface MEC, 3 Control 16's. I have an APHEX 1100 mic pre, and go SPIDF from the APHEX into the MEC. I have Gigastudio on a separate computer, and run analog inputs from that interface into the MEC. I also have a Korg synth and a Roland Handsonic which go analog into the MEC.
Anyway, I would appreciate as much info as possible re building a new "backup" computer for this rig. I might be persuaded to go Win XP if I could still run Cakewalk in it. I welcome your thoughts on all of this.
Many thanks,
RonA
