What processor for OctaMED?

[Karlos]

My mates all go on about how fab their PC music software is, but OctaMED SoundStudio kicks a*se - they are usually left silenced by the sheer power hidden away behind the 'primitive' (their words, not mine) interface and the fact that it ties up sampling / midi so nicely together.

If trackers were cleaning products, OctaMED SoundStudio would be the Mr. Sheen of them all :lol: ;-)

My PC just gets used for audio capture (via an SBLive5.1) and that's about it.

I use it on a 68040 (BlizzPPC) @ 25MHz and only get into trouble if I want to use smoothing in the mixer with more than four stereo channels.

But then I just render the output to disk anyway, so it doesn't matter.

If you read what I wrote, I didn't criticise / compare any PC apps, I just pointed out that mates I have that use all these 'state of the art' apps on their high end pc's are still awed by what I can achieve on OSS :-)

It's perfect for my Yamaha MU100R tone generator, which doubles as a realtime fx unitfor the amiga audio, so even Paula comes up nicely.

I record the result on my PC at 96kHz / 24-bit then compress to -16bB and downsample to CD rate.

If only my compositional skills were better :-D

Well, both applications are used to create music so I'm sure that rightly or wrongly people will make comparisons.

But as I said, Soundstutio is the holy grail of amiga trackers :-)

In my not-so-humble opinion :lol:
