OctaMED Sound Studio Install Issues & Advice.

[TheGoose]

About your original error, let's assume the floppies are in good shape. You must have an Installer that does not like this script, some version difference is to blame. Those are the tell-tale errors/signs of a wrong Installer version.

I tell you if you can download the 1.03c you may be better off, I've done that many times. And I concur it does not come with an installer; you just put fonts and libs where they need to go and when OSS stops bitching, you installed it!

OMG WTF is going on here:

Someone plaese nuke this site. There use to be a humble yahoo group no too long ago for the original cool people. Newsflash - OSS will never work properly on a Pee Cee.

Whew, loosing my cool. XDelusion you can still get 1.03c at good old:

But you just need a little common sense tinkering to get all working, like I was saying.

no sadly  

@ Tension, damn doood I hate that popup too! Where can we find this ISO!? BTW - I bought at least 2 versions; Octamed 6 and then SS. I still have the v6 version on floppies buy not the SS version.

I remember when I showed spihunter Med, think version 4 on my Amiga 1000, we were in high school band with a drum machine back then. He was blown away. I was like "DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS MHANNNN!"

Amiga was always delivering these eureka moments, that's what people miss. And they don't get, they can't get it back. It was just part of the early evolution of computing. Be happy you were there.

@XDelusion - no, they don't upgrade, sry. But maybe we can find this no popup-CU version...

"In short, an 8-bit sample downsampled from a 44kHz 16-bit source will always sound cleaner than one sampled on an 8-bit parallel port"

That is strange to me, but after I took a whole drum kit from my SP404SX, down sampled them, I thought they sounded pretty good.

I wish there was some library of good 8bit sounds on the web, you know of anything like that Karlos?

Well I might have to get this...

Karlos is my hero, great posts... I didn't know you were down with the music stuff so hardcore! I got some midi questions/problems I might bother you about.

Awesome, you know, think I understand the synth editor now and made my 1st synth script this past weekend, I'll try and share that, it is a pretty cool and underated feature of OSS.

LPB should be set to 4. I also have this set to that value. Works more like a drumcomputer that way.
And don't forget the maestrix http://aminet.net/util/libs/TheMaestrix.lha. This program allows you to use AHI with SS.

What!? Does this really work?

Based on Richard Korber's work, The Maestrix emulates the functionality of his
Maestix MaestroPro API library, but instead works through AHI. Now any tools
you have which can play using the maestix.library can now be directed through
AHI. As an example of the possibilites, SoundStudio can use this library, so
now you can use SoundStudio to play multi-track 16-bit modules through AHI!
Yes, now all you AmigaOS4 users can play with SoundStudio once again, and
catch up from where you left off without the need to wait for an OS4 native
version. It also works with standard 4 tracker modules as well, so you don't
have to worry about not having CIA timers, Paula hardware, or how SoundStudio
doesn't directly support AHI. Now it can!
