What processor for OctaMED?

[Cyberus]

I actually got back into the Amiga because of OctaMED (see my thread on Software Discussions...). Obviously, I can see how it works for myself with my 040 accelerator, but I was just wondering what other users' experience with OctaMED has been in terms of hardware required.

Of course, I'd like one of the Blizzard 060 cards with the SCSI-II controller, as the extra ram would no doubt be a real boon for working with samples. Is direct to hard disk recording feasible? If my 040 is okay, how would I go about dealing with the hard disk solution (I'm guessing a Squirrel or the Amiga's std IDE solution isn't good enough!)

Are there any OctaMED users out there who'd recommend the use of a PPC board? Would it be the RAM rather than the processor that'd be of more importance for this kind of application?

I'd be grateful for any suggestions! thanks!

Yep,
A1200 with apollo 040/40, and I know this sounds sad,  but i can't remember the size of the SIMM, I think 32Mb..

Just in response to some of the above posts...
I wanted to use OctaMED because that's what I used when I was younger to play around with.
I've used Cubase (I started an audio course at Salford Uni and we had to use it as part of the course) and whilst it may be more 'powerful' I just LIKE OctaMED, pure and simple.
Once again, the X is better than Y argument is coming out. But what if I happen to prefer Y?

Thanks for all the replies
