AKAI 3000XL IN THE 21ST CENTURY

I’ve started a remix for my friend James Pianoman Sammon.
As you know, all my mixes are done using original early 90s equipment and Cubase VST 3.55 on a Windows 98 laptop 🙂
Here is how I got the vocals into my AKAI S3000XL in no time:
Pics 1&2 – Edit vocals into 52 parts in Sound Forge
Pics 3 – All the samples, named in the right order = 12.3 MEGABYTES!
Pics 4&5 – Transferring the samples from WAV to AKAI microSD card with Translator
Pic 6 – The samples loaded in my S3000XL, 61% memory still left! 😀
The top AKAI can access the card reader in the second one via SCSI even when it’s switched off.

NEW SINGLE OUT!

Featured – Running Cubase 3.05

I have been commissioned a couple of new remixes so I decided to set up and try out this “new” laptop to run Cubase 3.05 (the last version before Steinberg invented VST).

As a MIDI interface, this time I am using a 128 MIDI-channel vintage MOTU MTP-AV. It’s the original Parallel Port version, no USB and solid timing comparable to an Atari ST 🙂

I am running Cubase 3.05 because this setup is just a little bit too slow for the next versions up (VST 3.5 to VST3.7) 😀
