Toaster Advice....
« on: May 16, 2011, 06:11:40 PM »
In building my Toaster system I realized that I need some sort of way to add & manipulate audio. Which hardware would be better... a Flyer board or an AD516 16bit Sound Card? Does the Flyer do what the AD516 does plus allow for more hard drive space? Is the Flyer as capable as the AD516 for audio control?
 
So far I have a Toaster 2000 board, Kitchen Sync & an 040 Accellerator. Besides an audio control - What else do I need to start creating full vidoes with audio? This is getting expensive! :crazy:
 
Each time I add another peice to the Toaster puzzle It seems that I need something else. :confused:
 
Thanks in advance for any suggestions....

Thanks J-Golden...  Yeah, I'm not trying to go all hard core with the audio I just want to create some videos with audio that will end up like commercials (with that old time 90's flair!). I want to create commercials for my business website. They basically would be subjects on background stills or video (how do I do greenscreen?) with titles and wipes with scripted audio (maybe some insterted sound effects?). So, the Flyer is the way to go?
 
Do I need this thing then too if I go with a Flyer board?

So, can I do everthing I want with Toaster board, the Flyer board & the Accelerator? Sure hope so. Thanks much for your reply!

Wow, this is great info... Pre-formatted solid state solutions provided by DiscreetFX sounds awesome! Link to the product perhaps? I do have a few 10GB - 10RPM SCSI drives that I've had stashed away for awhile but solid state sounds like the way to go!
 
Didn't say I wanted to go cheap... but all the pieces do add up in $$. Besides everthing I've read about the PC editing systems don't even compare to the Amiga Toaster even for it's age. I also checked pricing for a PC editing system - to do the same on a PC as a Toaster system would run between 12K & 15K (for the supposed good stuff that is). A tri-caster would be awesome though! And, I'm having a lot of fun with the Miggys! Not to mention I enjoy the company of A.Org peeps!
 
OK, so a flyer board it is! A hunting I will go for one! So close! Thanks again for all the great info!

EDIT: Can I still get a Flyer board thru DiscreteFX?
