I just bought A.M.A.S. (at AmiExpo), and I'm having trouble with the
software --- it only samples 200K banks at a time. Questions:
1) I've got 8 banks lit up with a decimal point -- why can't
I access anything except "B" bank? (I've got 3 meg on an
A2000HD) I can copy fine, but not switch banks..
2) What's the latest version of the software? I have 1.1.
3) Is there anyway I can get it to cascade the recording
automatically (from B to 1, 1 to 2, and so on..) I want
to digitize long tracks.
4) Is it advisable for me to get another sampling software
package? I've heard good things about Audio Master, but
I'm wary about spending more money...
5) What sources can I look up for programming my own audio
sampler software? If no commercial product exists that
meets my needs, I'll just have to roll my own --- and <sigh>
figure out the IFF format, and stuff like that.
6) AMAS claims a hardware potential of digitizing at 90kHz
(mono) and 40kHz (stereo). Is there any possibility of
writing software that can take advantage of that potential?
Does it exist? Is it PD? Can anyone mail it to me? Does
it work with AMAS? (most important..)
7) Can anyone send me that 8svx IFF specs? Well, no, can
someone send me all the IFF specs ('cept ILBM).
8) The SAVE and LOAD options don't seem to work. Why?
9) What is MicroDeal's phone? I want to call them and flame
them for the software..
I can't believe this is the same package reviewed as "a winning
package" by AmigaWorld.
Thanks to all for replies received.
