It is interesting to see that all of these new soundcards for the Amiga
cannot compete with the Sunrise Studio 16 package which is not even
supported and has no company behind it.Why is this?You would think that
any new card would take off where the Sunrise card stopped.Most of these
cards have the same chips in them and so audio quality may be the same.In
the case of the Soundstage it has 20db performance but so does my Turtle
Beach Pinnacle which is a better card and even this card cannot outperform
the Sunrise Studio16(unless I spend another $500 for Logic Audio etc.).I
know I have both.What makes these cards perform is quality software and
thats the advantage of the Sunrise Studio16 package.Forget Audiolab or
Samplitude.They are hybrids and do a lot of stuff but do it half-assed.
Studio 16 3.01 is dedicated to tracking & editing that turns your Amiga
into an multitrack recorder(imagine the performance with the new PPC
cards).Complete control over samples and audio files with SMPTE and MIDI
sync with Bars&PipesPro.Which respectfully all you guys looking for
sequencing software on the Amiga should be using.Have you ever burned a CD
with 600MB of audio samples and then triggered them on tracks with your
other hard drive stuff in BPM sync with your Midi sequencer? I expect this
performance from the new products comming out.That is why I cannot afford
to get rid of my AD516.What am I gonna do with the Delfina and those other
cards?Get great support? Well, I will probably be talking to tech about
upgrading this and that for the next 2 years and my work will show for it.
