Re: SOT: "My Story"
Thanks for the memories, John. FWIW -- I don't recall being any kind of unique beta tester for SAWStudio; though maybe several of us were? I do seem to have a vague recollection of a discounted-price starter deal for us long-toothers, before the official release, to help with the initial debugging. Maybe that's what you're referring to.
I do remember the Compuserve forum, and then there was a (geeze, I can't even remember what we used to call the thing) forum-like deal that you'd access through your email program. You know -- you'd subscribe and there'd be different threads and stuff, but not through a browser. Somebody help me out! A SAW user in Germany hosted it, IIRC.
I remember checking out the original four-track SAW when I was in Chicago-area radio in the early 90s, but was happy with The EDditor, a CardD (later FastEddie and CardD+) and my TASCAM TRS-8 reel-to-reel at the time. Then in 1993, I moved to Tucson to start my recording/production business and soon thereafter saw an ad for SAWPlus in an industry mag. I was in.
There are some older-timers than me around here, so cut me some slack, Jack! I'm not even 60! That said -- it has been a long road with IQS/RML/SAW.
