Old School recording. 1997 Cool Edit Pro on WIN95
0I started digital computer recording before I realized there was actual computer recording systems.
I was just a kid.
I didn't even know that the adat existed at this time yet.
I didn't realize that adults were using VHS tapes to record audio.
I knew of real to real.
So then I started to learn about multi track recording systems I bought books and I started my education at an early age.
I learned about a lot of electronics because I was going to school at Oakland technical center in Royal Oak on Meyer dris on Meyer drive I was taking technical electronics 12 and automation principles I had electricity before that.
I was already completing my associates degree in my sophomore year of high school.
When I actually I didn't graduate I got my GED because I dropped myself out of the high school I couldn't take it anymore being with all these investors and responsibility and to be treated responsibly.
So then I got my state endorsed meat tests done and got my GED as well.
I wanted to go to MIT or at the least Lawrence technical.
But I had bottle next from the government and my family that that was not going to happen.
So then I chose IT and after signing up for a $12000 debt I was learning everything I already knew.
So now i'm in a hole.
I'm stuck with a program and a loan of something that I already have acquired.
Anyways long story short I got creative with my electronic knowledge and I started making sense in sound chips and I was creating little amplifiers and multi amplifier multi channel strips with multiple strips of chips containing 16 bit audio.
I was able to have over 60 seconds between the 5 second chips.
That was a huge feet and it was bigger than the mpc 2000. Which I didn't even know existed yet I didn't even know about the MPC60 yet.
The famous Roger Lynn instrument which I can tell you I think is a piece of crap I think a lot of a ki is garbage.
They charge a lot of money and put the name professional on it but when it comes to electronics it was not professional electronics it was very weak computing.
If the home computer in 1997 was over 1.33ghz so should a PRO tool.
If the computer had windows audio sound recorder and it could be capable of holding 60 seconds of audio and having visuals and processing and operating system I knew that the MPC was a rip off.
So I started collecting computers.
I started looking for programs.
Demands going into the computer and windows recorder.
But it was when I finally got windows 95 or 98 and a IBM tower. And I loaded up the ram.
At that time I think 16MB was a lot.
I had 64mb. I maxed out the motherboard.
but it was later when I got my hands on goldwave and sound Forge from Sonic Foundry before Sony acquired it and Cool Edit Pro when macromedia had it just like they created Flash that adobe took over and killed.
Cool Edit by macromedia and Macromedia Flash put together was one hell of a combo I was creating shockwave websites and the websites I created 25 years ago are still better than what I see today.
I was creating websites worth 50 grand easily and today people still won't pay 10 grand even for a decent site.
But what I did that was even better is when I learned how to address IRQ for memory and be able to route the route software in the background of computer.
I was able to manage to run multiple instances of sound forge and turn it into a multi tracker. Macromedia Flash could control computers I used to be able to get into people's computers really easy all they would do is visit my website and my interface would be on their screen giving me the portal to everything.
Over the years people asked for me to hack other people's systems but I never did it, I won't do it.
For the most part everyone who asked me to do something illegal for them they would never do anything illegal for me.
I'm not taking the Bait, I'm not a bad person.
It wasn't my beef. Not my business.
