DSS8 question?
« on: May 18, 2004, 09:07:08 AM »
Greetings,
I bought a DSS8. I only have 16MB(not much)fast RAM. I tried to connect a radio tuner to it so I can listen and save the songs in IFF(audio) format(ala .MP3) using a DSS software. I notice It takes up a lot of my ram when I intend to record a whole song in Stereo(don't like mono)mode. Average song I record would take more than 16MB(stereo) at least just a wee bit more kbytes. I get an 'Out of memory' if I edit it(cut, paste, the usual stuff). So I'm stuck with a mono version.
My question, is/are there any alternative software(update,patch,virtual mem??..anything*) that uses the HD space instead of RAM? :-?  Thanks.

Good day to all Amigans!  :-D

I know there is software that will record to a HDD. It's a matter of looking around.

I once recorded the sound track of an entire movie to my 435M HDD on my A 2000.

I only had about 5M RAM and it worked well.

I think the program was called 'Megalosound', or something...

IIRC, Megalosound (a sound digitizer program that might have been sold bundled with a digitizer of the same name) could record directly to HD.  I don't think it had as good of sound quality as the GVP/DSS software, though.  Plus, I have no idea where you'd find a copy of Megalosound, anymore.  Mine was from dodgy sources, because I couldn't find anyplace selling the original, and that was 8 years ago, or so.  ;-)

That's what I have. :-) Same quality, too.

@iamaboringperson

I have a copy of Megalo(I have to find the disk first after work then postback later..). Tweeked on it, but I don't know how to do a minimum degree of work that utilize the memory efficiently. :-o
Still remember them? Maybe a tip or 2? Thanks! :-D
