HA HA Bob.. computers probably could do a screen shot back then! They were Black and green!

LOL. It's not that old, but I'm sure it relied heavily on DOS.
If it ran on W95/W98, somebody might have a screen shot somewhere. If it still ran under XP, the odds are even better.
On a side note, my first computer was a Tandy CoCoII. My second was a CoCoIII. It was built to the hilt. Dual double sided floppy drives, RAM upgraded to 512K(yes K). 1.7 Mhz, 8bit Motorola 6809B processor(early version of the 68020 that Apple took off with).
And a code assembler. Back then, we had to write machine code to squeeze everything we could out of these things. So we did. That was the bronze age of home computers.
Now, when I fire up my quad core 64bit machine, I am amazed at what it can do. and it's already bordering on obsolescence.
So yeah, I feel DrLumen's pain, and I really hope we can get him up to speed. Technologywise, we live in a wonderful time.

Wow. Thanks Paul. That gives me a pretty good idea of what he was working with.
That's more basic than I expected, but I'm sure it was an awesome program in its day.
It really drives home just how good we have it now. Man, we've come a long way.
 
DrLumen, CW5 to X3 is apples and bicycles. Consider your old project as raw material(which, basically, it is). You say you want to use soft synths, but have indicated that there are actually no soft synths in your project. This suggests you may be using the MS Wavetable Synth. If so, that's probably why stuff is sounding wrong.
More details on just exactly what you are working with will really help us help you.

I was able to get everything resolved! After getting the mapping issues resolved, I converted the CC7 control messages to a Volume envelope and that got all the faders following along as well.
 
It's been a long time but IMS I'm pretty sure the CW5 I was using was for Windows (perhaps 3.0 or 3.1). Those screenshots don't look anywhere vaguely familiar.
 
Thanks all for the help! Now I can start converting to soft synths and remixing.

FWIW, I was using a windows version. I specifically remember the panic button (midi reset) was a face like the kid from Home Alone. Eyes wide and mouth open.
 
Anyway, thanks again!

It's from Edward Munchs painting "The Scream". I liked it, too. (120 million dollars the last time they auctioned it, AFAIK)

Yep, Steve, that's the one.
 
Kalle, I wouldn't go so far as to say I "liked" it. It was memorable and always kinda creeped me out. :)
