I've been trying to get Soundsmith up and running for a month
now and nothing seems to work. The only time it worked at ALL was when
I tried a copy 0.7b on the GS at school, the opening came up and after
that promptly died. The GS at school has ROM 03. I have ROM 01 and the
same version would not work. Until just today I was using GS/OS 5.0 and
found out that Soundsmith needs 5.0.2 so I ran out and got me one.
Unfortunately it didn't help. Has anyone else had trouble with Soundsmith?
If so, any solutions or suggestions? Normally I would just give up with
problems like this but I converted several of Soundsmith's instrument files
over to Music Studio 2.0 and got 'em to work, they sounded very impressive,
if the rest of the package works like that I want to try it!
Has anyone used *Sound* Studio? This program is really
handy for examining sounds and playing with them, however its usefulness
ends there - it does not save a sound you have manipulated as ASIF
rendering it useless on Soundsmith or Music Studio. Why is this? Was it
that much more effort to save the sounds witn a standardized file structure?
I was also disapointed that you could not manipulate the wave itself. I've
seen such programs on the Mac, why not on a superior machine like the GS?

Then reboot and it should work. When Soundsmith went to version .9x, Midi hooks were added in, meaning it wouldn't work with that installed. (If I am incorrect, someone please correct me) Hope this helps............. ________________________________________________________________________ George A.

To get SoundSmith running ... this is the question. If you have .9 or later then you need tool 32 on your boot disk or else SoundSmith will bomb with an error 0046 (file not found). You also need at least 1.25 megs, preferably 1.5. I forget which version of SoundSmith first needed more memory than a stock rom 3. If you can FTP try tybalt.caltech.edu [131.215.139.100], login anonymous, cd pub/apple2, and look in the soundsmith directory. You will find tested versions of SoundSmith that I packed directly from working copies on my hard drive; if you still have problems let me know. If necessary I can pack and upload copies of .7 and .9 which you should definately be able to run. Todd Whitesel toddpw @ tybalt.caltech.edu
