The great choke

I have been trying to upload my old material from Elka CR99 floppies.

First I tried Sonar PE (6.2.1). I got quite a few tracks loaded but the biggie. The huge 'medley' we used to perform live, well that was just too much. Sonar go boom. It had already done this on some of the other tracks but had scraped through on subsequent attempts. Not this time. Same thing each attempt: boom. Sonar died.

So I loaded up Ableton Live (6.0.7). The medley recorded ok but the following tracks killed Live as well. Gah!

Its late and I have had enough for now. It does make me wonder that stuff I did around the early 90s on far less capable computers and software causes such difficulties now. My current PC and software is in a different universe. And therein lies the problem I guess. Power and complexity bring their own problems.
