Now i'm a musician and i work with Cubase but the first music software that I've bought in my life was OctaMED SounStudio;with this software I've made my first experiences,I know what's possible with OctaMED but now..I know that is limited,not only for the 8bit freq. but for a lot of other things...time-stretchin.pitch-shifting,FXs,Virtual instruments,BPM setting,mixing, etc etc etc.
