But the AD1012 had no DSP either, It was only mono. It is definitely a
MUCH lower end card than the AD512.
As for software, Studio16 is nice, but it lacks a lot of musician oriented
features. It is much more optimized for doing video soundtracks.
Samplitude seems to be the best amiga multitrack software, If it only
supported full duplex, and AHI. I would rank Studio16 second, and
Audiolab16 third. Audiolab has a lot more DSP effects than Studio16, but
the interface lacks that intuitive feel that Studio16 and samplitude have.
