Yoadie yo ho !!!

Based on a message from Floyd Diebel to ,

 FD> professional audio engineers/sound manipulators/etc. would deny that
 FD> the ad516/studio16 combo is very fast and efficient.  
True. However, if they had a Sounstage, Delfina or another professional 
card, and Audiolab they would not deny it either :)

 FD> the soundstage looks very interesting, but i must say i was bit put off
 FD> by the automated mail i received after requesting more specific
 FD> information.

Ah. The thread I just wrote about in comp.sys.amiga.hardware - most 
Amiga companies have NO idea what good marketing means :-|. And they 
lose MANY customers despite having a great product, since they have no 
respect for those potential customers and they turn elsewhere. :-|. 
Contact Delfina makers, they are very supportive, will tell you all 
you need to know, will support you fully and you won't get no autoreplys :)

 FD> another worry for me is the software included with the newest batch of
 FD> amiga soundcards.  it seems audiolab can do the trick for most of them,
 FD> and audiolab seems to be a fantastic program for some things (i will be
 FD> registered owner in about a week), but i would not want to using only
 FD> it for mixing and sequencing, or even raw editing of samples - studio16
 FD> is much faster at this (from what i can tell from the demo version).
 FD> audiolab's strengths seem to be in its processing/effects and format
 FD> conversion power.

Well, maybe it is so, I cannot compare so closely. But then if you're not 
very wealthy and you have to pick between getting a combo that might lack 
the speed and agility in one aspects and is 3 times cheaper than the other 
combo, constantly supported and updated, which one would you choose? IMHO 
one does not need to think about it - get the cheaper one, with it you get 
support and development and it is possible that in the future the software 
that is growing will grow to the standards of the dead software...

 FD> i look forward to seeing the amiga (or PC, or whatever) hard disc
 FD> recording system that will impress me as much as the sunrize has, and
 FD> continues to do so.

It will be hard unless you have a chance to work for some time on another 
system, and for this purpose you have to buy it first :-|...
