I have been working with Disney Animation Studio lately. I am interested in syncing digitized audio up to my animations using the exposure sheet. Unfortunately, DAS only uses SMUS sound type files. I have checked all of the sound/music programs I know of, none use this format. How can DAS call this "standard" if no one uses it? I guess this is nothing new though. ============================================================================== \ / \ \ / / Sean Schur \ \ / / \ \/ / USENET: schur@isi.edu \ /a\mpyr/ Compuserve: 70731,1102 \/ \ / ideo Plink: OSS259 \/ ==============================================================================

Deluxe Music Construction Set, Instant Music, the Amiga SMUS Toolkit, and others all support SMUS. It's the IFF-standard that's been written up since 1985 in the ROM Kernal Manuals. Get a life.

Don't know about the others (maybe Bo does :-), but SMUS is NOT Deluxe Music's preferred format. In fact, it does a rather poor (IMHO) job at handling SMUS files. Deluxe Music is really written to deal with DMCS format files! And DMCS _is_ an IFF file type.

Rush) writes: |> [[ ...arguments about SMUS and DMCS deleted... ]] You're *both* right! DMCS does indeed use SMUS as one of it's IFF formats. It also uses an IFF format that is proprietary to DMCS. The private format does a much better job than the SMUS format, IMO. Perhaps the author of DMCS just didn't bother to use the SMUS form to its greatest advantage? So what's the argument about, anyway? :-) BTW, did anybody ever figure out what the private sections of the DMCS IFF did? Is EA ever going to do anything with DMCS other than sit on it? If not, why don't they release the info to the world? Why is the sky green? What place is this...? :-) --dds Dale D. Snell dales@teksce.SCE.TEK.COM 74756.666@compuserve.COM "Nice house. Good tea."
