Ahhh memories :D
Makes me a bit sad to see Elemental Audio on those lists...one of the truly unique companies way back then. I still to this date use Neodymium regularly

 

cakewalk rgcaudio square,triangle 1 2 ,pentagon ..to this day i have yet to find a synth that matches its buttery smooth smoothness.


and vocoders why where there so flipping many vocoders?

 

Ok I'm getting considerably envy about your collection @lukehh

Just in case you have time can you add Team AiR and ASSiGN releases to the list?

( having UNION, ST3RE0, SYNTHiC4TE, peace-out & DYNAMiCS in the list is asking too much for sure )

what a beautiful post you did

 

Just added AiR to my innitial post.

 

Thanks a lot to @lukehh @Papa Lazarou for your contribution!
someone read books before going to sleep others read different things

 

reserved for future misuse.. would delete it but we can't anymore

 

How about recovering 10-15 years old projects?

 

If you are sharing these, Im looking for these releases.

FruityLoops.Pro.v1.523.TS-404-Radium
FruityLoops.Pro.v2.11.TS404.Radium

 

OMG there are some releases way back to 1997!

Seems like another life already...

 

Anyone remember?


I loved those days

 

What is it?

 

The first Cubase dongle!

 

1st Only on the PC, but 4Th Generation

 

Im sitting here with the old bastard in my hand and you´re prolly right The-RoBot about the fact it´s 4th generation - Im on PC here

 

Anyone remember when and what group released the very first cracked version of NI Kontakt?

 

befor it was killed orlydb was the longest standing predb and quite comprehensive
cant remember anymore but there was a nfo database wich was quite complete too

those 2 together told a interesting story

and if you have a few days to spare or a "buttload" of sitzfleisch
you could start at thebeginning

not sure, the first major breakthrough was zone´s reaktor 2 though. dongles n shit! edit: i think paradox ;)

Seems like a lifetime ago, and though the phrase is often misused and abused, the day Cubase 5 got cracked by AiR, the internet really did break a little.

 

I think lukehh got some of these list from https://web.archive.org/web/20021004040058/http://www.midiwarez.net:80/oldsite/index.html

 

Can relate, don't agree.
Those were horrible days. Switching over from MacOs 7.3 to Windows98 sucked like hell back then.
Cubase being 68000 code from ST somehow being ported to x86 was hell on earth.
Cakewalk, the only thing natively developed on pc back then would have been a better choice, but i needed
cubase for compatibility reasons. Until Nuendo 1.0 Steinberg just sucked on pc.
Kids who grew up in the post-windows-on-ms-dos-era can't imagine how we suffered.

I just wonder: m'key nostalgia is fine, but those ancient vstis and daws had to run on waaaayyyy less powerful machines.
So the algorithms had to be much more simplified than todays. does it make sense to waste time on them?
I too remember some radium releases i consider as fanstastic sounding, but i'm sure if i'd install them now and
listen to them I would say "omg, what a crappy sound".
Besides that: Getting them to run might be quite challangeing.

 

I guess you know that nostalgia ain't what it used to be
