OctaMed sound studio

[bloodline]

Actually, OctaMED SS is a bit of an Achilles heel for UAE. No amount of fiddling around with UAE's settings can get rid of the lag between pressing a key and hearing the sound; something no genuine amiga suffers from.

We have spoken about this before, as I used WinUAE in the recording studio before, I did get the latency down below 10ms, and certainly low enough to be imperceptible to my feeble human ears

Though I tried to use real hardware as much as possible for that "authentic" 8bit audio... Very few will ever appreciate the effort I went to

Of course, when it comes to basic playback of a completed track, it (understandably) performs very well, particularly on many-channel modules.

Yeah, makes a great sequencer

You're going to have to remind me how you achieved that. I think I am going senile. Also, I forget stuff.

:lol:
Careful tuning and my Edirol FA101 (the most amazing bit of Audio kit I ever bought).

I do recall you sending me a sounndbite and my having to identify what I thought was from Paula

Indeed, one of the precious few who could apprecaite my efforts!

Or SS for PC? Only 15 quid, http://www.medsoundstudio.com/

This is actually quite good, I bought a copy in 1999... And used that same PC MED v1.0 until I moved to Macs and foun myself use real Amigas for tracking again. Though a simple tip,  in Logic Pro, a bit crusher and a carefully set EQ will give a very convincing approximate 8bit sample sound.

Side note, I do plan to release a "PaulaAudio" AudioUnit for the Mac, that will crush to 8bits, EQ and introduce the quantisation errors (that Karlos and I worked out a few years ago) to any audio stream... Watch this space

I'm with Karlos here, the base rate is set by the video refresh rate (edit: from memory 28khz), the playback frequency is based on a period between fetching the next sample
Paula doesn't play back at quite the right frequency, I won't be able to emulate that as I don't plan to write a whole bloody tracker!
