Welcome to Oldschooldaw.com! (Online since 2014) serving vintage computers worldwide! this is our NEW WEBHOST as we've moved from our OLD GODADDY to a brand new server location to start off 2026. thanks to Godaddy for hosting the site for 11 years and a big thank you to IONOS.COM for the great pricing going forward! this site exists as a resource for historical archival of information + file resources neccessary to make use of vintage computer hardware + vintage music composition software that runs on those old platforms. conceived conceptually by Chris Nova to address the problem of  missing information + missing chronological references caused due to this information slightly predating the creation of the modern internet, much of the information here has been sourced from magazines + books as well as scraped from other websites that have since gone offline and wont be coming back.

SOS review: July 2004


"The crucial question is, of course, how well the Liquid Channel compares to the original units. Well, to my ears I have to say it compares extremely well indeed.”
Convolution processing to 'sample' filters and reverberant spaces is processor‑intensive, but mathematically fairly simple. As such, it's been available for a while, initially as an off‑line process in applications such as Sound Forge, and later in real time, thanks to Sony's DRE S777 rackmounting reverb.

What conventional convolution can't do, however, is replicate non‑linear processes such as distortion and compression. It fell to a company called Sintefex to figure out how dynamic processes could be emulated using more advanced convolution techniques, and Focusrite's Liquid Channel represented yet another stage in the evolution of this process. Drawing on Sintefex's expertise, they paired convolution processing with innovative analogue circuitry, capable of mimicking the response of many well‑known preamp designs, to create an input channel of unparalleled versatility.
