Hey @s3c, what did you use for audio work pre-2000? I used MS Recorder and player with wav files, then found Goldwave.. should've bought the full version and stuck with it :\ I know it sounds lame, but the videotape I worked with had a spare stereo track, and could mix it in during a/b roll editing. Quaint, huh?
It's not summer anymore, get with the times bruv, had a decent frost last night.
Ahh good old times of that build in Recorder! :D Don't think I have any remaining recordings from those days hmm, though moving away from S3C oriented question...
Yeah, here too, we had to cover up all our remaining tomatoes (and it's snowing up North). I guess I could... post something...
Ahh I remember Goldwave!! and then there was SoundForge, WaveLab, CakeWalk to name a few others...windows recorder has always been a crock of sh*t but then again I never used it with any decent microphones. And yes, I had to use my dad's video camera a few year back (which dates to the 80s) and surprisingly it had recorded better quality (both audio and video) then most modern phones could!
yeah, give it another shot if you feel up to it! I use version 8 (12 is the latest version, I have 9 but don't use it because they have since cut off DXi plugin support. Also I think they stopped making the program backwards compatible after 8, so that's also something to keep in mind...).
Mmm nostalgia before my time...
Ah, good knowing. Seems I might settle for 8 as well, then. Is it comparable with ALL prior versions btw?
backwards compatible may not have been the most appropriate term here..iirc, if you open up an .flp (the FL studio project file) that was saved in version 8, it should open in a previous version (atleast as early as version 6) although there's some stuff that won't carry over. Which can be a big to not so big problem depending on the degree of features that were used in the later version. If you try to open up a .flp that was saved in version 9, it usually doesn't even open up at all in earlier versions. Though I recently downloaded a .flp created in version 12 and I was able to open in 8, which was the first and only successful instance of this happening, hence *usually*.
Ah, sounds like pretty funky comparability issues between all those versions. :/ Well, as long as version 8 files work with version 8 then: no problem!

I've always used FL Studio to make the beats, and Cool Edit Pro to edit the vocals and match the tracks. Though if you recorded in FL Studio (with the beat), I could just do a straight export to Cool Edit and there shouldn't be any syncing problems! What version did you use?? shouldn't be a complicated task if you just wanted to record and maybe add FX, though!

Ah, so that's how you do it! I had a hard time with beats, but it shouldn't be too difficult to record with FL Studio... should I give the recording for track-we-were-working-on-for-the-longest-time an attempted sync with FL and send over? I think I was using FL v4, though I uninstalled that a loooong time ago now. What version are you on?
