Well, kind of.
 
I digitized all my old TASCAM 80-8 recordings, that usually had a sync track to drive Voyetra Sequencer Plus Gold, and a while ago for fun I did a revamp of one of those songs called "Look What You've Done" in SONAR using some of my new toys.
 
On THIS PAGE I included both versions.

I've got a friend who has a 24 track Tascam setup with 1" tape. Those old 2" machines were pretty nice. Maybe the new Pro-channel tape sim will be a 2" Tascam!

Besides the new toys, it is noticeable that you picked up some mixing skills over the years. Nice!
I had a 6 track cassette recorder to work with in this days (forgot the brand) how bizarre is that... 
B.t.w, what is a Voyetra Sequencer, and what happened to the gold...?

Very cool Bapu! Can definitely hear the difference. That's great that you have all that material digitized so you can rework it. Thanks for letting us hear it!

Yes, great piece of work. I like them both, the original and the rework. They both have their own unique sound. Goes to show just what toys can do when you have a good recording to work with. As to your song, great original arrangement, instrumentation, vocals, lyrics and a nice original mix. For back in 86 this would be top notch for a recording. The new digitalized version just takes the song to the level of perfection we can get out of todays toys if we know how to use them. Very nicely done all the way around.
 
Peace and Blessings, John

Voyetra Sequence Plus Gold was a PC DOS based sequencer. I did jump to Cakewalk until ProAudio 4 but never had a powerful enough computer to run SONAR until SONAR 7 (even though I bought every upgrade from PA4, except SONAR 2).
 
Thanks, for my modern mixing skills I have to thank Jonbouy, Danny Danzi, Alexooesthoek and Beagle plus a few others along the way.

I had an analog studio back in the '80s... an 80-8, and a halftrack machine ... never goin' back there again... 
I'm sorry Ed, but SC is just not playin' for me again today... I'll try again later...

Hi Ed, 
 
You did a great job cleaning up the old tape mix.  The new one is fuller (more full?) and has more punch.

Hey Ed, I'm having the same problem as Frank.  I can't get either to play.
I'll keep trying.
