Does anybody know if FutureSound is still available? A dealer has been trying to get it for about 6 weeks but is having no luck with the manf. Any comments comparing this to PerfectSound or the Mimentics sampler? Thanks, -- "Don't quote me on this!" Michael Figg DLA Systems Automation Center Columbus, Oh. (614)-238-9036

End of Review. The FutureSound unit is considerably more expensive than PerfectSound but offers a passthrough bus and has a long cable that allows you to place it where you want. The PerfectSound unit has no cable and requires that you crawl around behind your Amiga to make input level adjustments and hook up the input source. I use the FUtureSound and like it just fine. If you're on a budget or don't care about an occasional inconvenience, PerfectSound is also a very good choice. Both of them work with a wide variety of digitizing software. -- | Troutdale Shrine of Computing ** Bob Lindstrom, perpetrator | | "What doesn't kill me" ** UUCP:percival!boblind | | "makes me fat." ** PLink: Bob L.

Be sure that the switch box you use is a 'break before make' type or
you will find you can erroneously create short circuits and bad bits
by switching the switch a lot.
