OctaMED Sound Studio Install Issues & Advice.

[spihunter]

I dont think the latest free version of Octamed has an installer?. I think you just copy the drawer to your hard drive. It's been a while though...could be wrong!

At one point you had to join the mailing list to download it. I can't find the Amiga section anymore on the official Octamed homepage. Wasn't version 1.03 on Aminet?. It's blocked from work so I can't check.

The CU Amiga version on Aminet is the latest version... There may have been a 1.03d version but I don't think anything really changed.... You just have to change a setting to get rid of that annoying pop up screen at startup.

Karlos: Yes the pop up does annoy me that much!!!

I'm not wealthy enough to run OS 4.1 anyhow. I was just hoping for an updated port that matches the features of the latest Winblows version, and was keeping my fingers crossed that it would also run on MorphOS for when I buy an old MacMini or what ever to run it.

The Goose: Is there anywhere to has the last release of this available for download that is not the CU Amiga edition?

Tension: I'll give that a try.

Methuselas: I intend to keep posting information as I find it, and will probably be setting up a section on my web page later just for OctaMED Sound Studio for the Amiga since the official site is lacking in the department.

I'm also interested in checking out DigiBooster again some day and seeing what that's all about...

I'm using The Maestrix with SS on my Amigaone/OS4., It works pretty well. There are a couple of things that will crash the hell out of SS on OS4 that you have to watch out for though.

I'll fire it up this weekend and post back on that. There are a couple of things that cause a total system lock every time. It's a pretty vanilla OS 4 install so I think it's related to SS.

Probably worth making a note of them. I didn't come across anything so far, but I've hardly scratched the surface of OMSS on OS4 compared to OMSS on OS3.x...

I use Logic for almost everything these days but I go back to SS from time to time because it's just a whole other style of making a tune. Everything is more handmade in a tracker which makes for better creativity sometimes.

I'm always amazed at the lengths people will go to when it comes to continuing to use a music creation system that works for them or that they love. Many guys are still using atari st's with cubase. (I know a few who still swear by it for rock solid midi sequencing)
 
You guys still using oss. Me? I was originally a protracker guy then moved to being a fasttracker II guy (to get 16 bit and 32 channels I had to switch to pc at that time) I have a collection of older pcs and sb16 soundcards just so I'll always be able to use ft2. Works in dosbox now with xp/vista, but its just not the same. I run it on windows 98 on older pcs which also run audio editors that will work with older windows.
 
I've used oss but not so much. This thread makes me want to try it out more...
