Its pretty hard to find music editoring software for windows 98SE thies days. I searched for FL Studio 7 (i think it still has win98 support) but found nothing.
Is there any source or place where i can find old FL Software? I have a FL Studio 20 license. Im not asking for pirat software. Or any usefull alternative?
I like to record/edit with midi devices.
regards
Chris

Cakewalk's a good MIDI editor, with more wav-style DAW stuff included as you get newer. I'm fairly certain there were many full-featured 'lite' versions of Cakewalk for Win98, they'd be given away with midi keyboards, sound cards, coverdisks etc, maybe look up 'Cakewalk Express'. (Modern Cakewalk for Win XP onwards is called things like SONAR and Plasma etc.)

So Sonar 2 has still Win9x support, but looks like same hard to get as FL Studio 7.
At the moment i only found Cubasis 1.0 with dongle what is really old, not really nice to use.. win3.11 first release

I use CakeWalk Pro Audio 5 on my Win9x setups, including a 486 I have (which it works for digital audio and MiDi). It works great. On the desktop with the AWE64, it sounds incredible on the MIDI side. Sometimes I use it to compose stuff for BandLab.
