I'm considering buying a audio digitizer for my A2000. The first name that comes to mind is Perfect Sound from Sunrize technologies. However I have heard rumors that Sunrize may be on the verge of financial bye-bye. My other concern is the the quality of the finished digitized sounds. I want to digitize a wide variety of sounds from my stereo system. I want to get good quality, but I don't have any interest in fancy manipulation of the sounds. Storing sounds in iff format is a must. If anyone out there has any suggestions or experience with this type of audio digitizing I would be most grateful for a reply. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ : Steven Lendt /\ Those little :-) symbols remind me of the : : Univ of Nebraska @ Omaha \/ yellow happy face.

SunRize industries just sent me an upgrade notice, so I'm not too sure they're that strapped. They apparently have improved both the hardware and the supporting software, so that one can now digitize up to 40000 samples/second, or digitize a stereo source at up to 12000 samples/second/channel. The software saves samples in IFF format, and can create IFF instruments for music programs like DMCS, Sonix, etc. The new software will work with the old hardware. -- ,,,, Bruce Becker Toronto, Ont. w \$$/ Internet: bdb@becker.UUCP, bruce@gpu.utcs.toronto.edu `/c/-e BitNet: BECKER@HUMBER.BITNET _/ >_ "Money is the root of all money" - Adam

I can't *believe* this. I'm 290 articles behind in comp.sys.amiga alone. Please forgive me if this reply hits everyone totally out of context...

Naw, a good, decently-priced digitizer is something we should have had a long time ago... $69 is, in my mind, still a little pricey, but it's the best I can do in small quantities! I'll add you to my list of 'interested parties'... As everyone who emailed me before knows, I haven't got everything (production- wise) totally up to speed right yet.. Currently, I'm redrawing the PCB with my own software... I wasn't satisfied with my initial layout. While this is good for the digitizer as a circuit, it's going to take me a little bit longer to complete than the 2 weeks or so I told everyone... So, give me 3 or 4! :-) I will be making available a 2 or 3 disk set of samples and playback software for demonstration purposes. I will post more info when this happens and email to all who have inquired so far. If anyone else out there is interested in more info, go ahead and email bevis@en.ecn.purdue.edu and I will give you what I can. For right now, please be patient with me (I'm supposed to be a full-time student, and I work as a consultant in the EE dept, too!) -- as we're all aware (see rejuvenator history), things like this tend to stretch themselves out longer than they were expected to be. Rest assured that I'm getting little sleep whilst trying to get things in order! >uunet!tronsbox!bleys > >"The perversity of the universe tends to a maximum" > > Finagle's First Law ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Bevis Purdue Univeristy School of Electrical Engineering bevis@en.ecn.purdue.edu Give me Amiga or nothing at all.
