Virtual Studios (such as Cubase) also for AMIGA?

In a word, no... but you can use HDRecord for some basic nonlinear audio editing...

But there is nothing to compare to Logic Pro 7.2... that said OctaMED soundstudio is great for tracking using the amiga native audio which is rather unique in its sound quality.

just one question.. Are you guys high?

I'm not high but I am a bit drunk... Anyway... I can spend a few hours with a bitcrusher and a lowpass filter... or just run a sample through Paula... Native Amiga audio still as it place in electronic music.

Having composed hundreds of songs on Amiga I agree with you and Karlos that Paula certainly met its purpose. It did produce damn fine sounds at its time. In 2007, no.. these days there are plugins which can emulate the sound of paula if necessary, and I sure as hell wont be missing it nor using these filters

Well... no plugin can accurately reproduce the Paula sound, yet... Arturia do a nice range of Softsynths... I use their ARP2600, MiniMOOG and Prophet 5 softsynth... which are so close to the real thng it's scary... but if you offered me a real ARP 2600, I'd take it in a second. When it comes to musical instruments, when you use a real device you often get happy accidents!

Not to mention instant responsiveness under all conditions. Even a few millisecond delay can be really off putting I find.

With my MBP and a firewire based audio interface (i use an Edirol FA101), my latency is down to 6ms which is fine for me :-)

That's pretty good, I reckon I could probably cope with that for live playing. It's when you get a 50ms delay coupled with choppiness once the polyphony creeps up I find annoying. No cure for that except to upgrade.

yeah, I'd say it's only really been the last couple of years that computers (and more importantly laptops) have been able to get the latency low enough for some serious good stuff. I use one MBP for softsynths, and one running Ableton as a live effects unit (3ms latency in the input, 3ms on the output... amazing the power of thses machines!!!!!!)!!!
