Those Who Been with Cakewalk (TwelveTone) Since DOS Club
I try to keep up with the jones'es, but one can only take so many changes. I know it's life, but damn, I want to finish that Jam I had started in 1991, because when I still play it; it cooks!. Lets set up a strategy to keep those old .BUN, .WRK, .MID, etc. files alive, and still let them load into the latest state of the art fly system (Sonar 256 X7.03a). Can we do it?
I think so.

I still have a shoebox full of floppies with Cakewalk 1.0 projects on them. I'll bet I could still load them into SONAR. Problem is, I no longer have a floppy drive.
 All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to. My Stuff

I think I still have at least one in my box of old goodies (unless you're looking for an 8" floppy drive, which I no longer have - even though I still have two 8" floppies kept in a folder along with other ancient memories - lol!).

Cakewalk Gold is as far back as I go, but it was included on a CD which came with soundblaster drivers and other programs included with a soundblaster LIVE! soundcard.

So SoundBlasters are the audio card of choice for Professional Studios then?  Well, Bravo!  (See what I did there?) I used one of those expensive Turtle Beach jobbies with Cakewalk v1.0.

My first one was Cakewalk Apprentice that came on a floppy with a soundcard, it was around the change of 80's/90's (??).
CW Pro Audio (version 6??) was the first serious one. It took me nearly two months to register it via mail :o/
SONAR PE 8.5.3, Asus P5B, 2,4 Ghz Dual Core, 4 Gb RAM, GF 7300, EMU 1820, Bluetube Pre - Kontakt4, Ozone, Addictive Drums, PSP Mixpack2, Melda Creative Pack, Melodyne Plugin etc. The benefit of being a middle aged amateur is the low number of years of frustration ahead of you.

I never would have met all of you fine folks, in an internet kind of way, if it hadn't been for a girl.
It was the hot singing chick on the Music Creator 2003 box.

I still have a shoebox full of floppies with Cakewalk 1.0 projects on them. I'll bet I could still load them into SONAR. Problem is, I no longer have a floppy drive.
Floppy drives that plug into a USB port are only $10-15. I have one and it works pretty well when I occasionally need it.
