#Deluxe Video III probs.
Message #32201
Nothing's perfect, especially human engineered software (anyone remember the H.E.S. company?), the interface is the best of the bunch I feel. Yet I wonder if this progam as well as the latest version of DPaint III will support the Obese Agnus (2mb.), I suspect a new version will be in…
I'm beginning to regret living in Calif. with all the Amiga events happening primarily on the east side. I want to speak to a Travel Agent! -Rad 🙂
I wait with baited breath for the next Info mag.!! -Rad
True, so true! But you have many more options with 1 pic. in Photo Lab than you do with digiview, wait a sec. I feel a dispute coming, ok, ok, ok… THEY'RE BOTH GOOD! 🙂
I bought the same record your roommate did a long time ago too, what a dissapointment! Oh well. Oh and Sean Young says hi. 🙂 -Rad

Hi Ben, I sincerely support Deluxe Photo Lab, of course Digiview is good, I just about have them all, but Deluxe Photo lab is really helpful for the specific need you requested, also with regards to textures such as wood and marble, MicroIllusions has released some textures such as the…
If you check out your local record store, you'll find that Vangelis has FINALLY released some of the tracks he did for Blade Runner on his latest BEST OF album. That album is titled "Themes". I highly recommend it. -Rad
Wha, you mean me? No, of course not 🙂 By the by, I gotz DVG too, great program!! -R. Activision 🙂
By no means do I want to spread bad rumours, but they do tend to give way to good news! Obviously my source, I'll call him Mr. Gamepro is an Amiga hater, but then, he just spent $3400 bucks on his system and I showed him what the Amiga could…
No Kidding, I rely on that mag. for a lot, at least it's not dead!! phew, that was close! Whatout for AmigaWorld now! The company that owns it is thinking of dumping it (insider info)!! -Rad
OH BOY! Am I proud to announce, er BRAG that I just upped my system to 5 megs. plus an additional disk drive!! So here's the setup… Amiga 2000, 1070 monitor (great monitor!), 3 drives (2 CBM, 1 CA-880), ECE Midi interface, 49 meg. (thought it was 47-I was wrong!)…
Hi Dave, I have the latest SI swimsuit issue (rrr-owr, RRR-OWR!), and I'd be happy to digitize some pics for ya. What format do you need them in (color, b/w, resolution?). And if the finished product is a demo, I'd sure like to get a copy of it! -Rad
Hi Kirk, Funny you should mention that you like to do graphic work more on the Amiga than the other systems. Our artists over here feel the same way!! _rad
40 MHz., even 33 MHz, would be fine, but no less. When you have a class project where you have to take a close-up overview of a house, then pull-back (zoom-out), to the point that the earth is but a small dot on the screen, I mean I just can't…
Holy Mackeral that's fast, and they have a card now that'll boost the Amiga upto 40 mhz. now!!! I'm still willing to buy a card like that because, as I said before, I need to save as much time as possible in rendering animations using turbo silver and Sculpt-4D. Right…
They said to simply send in the disks and request the upgrade to ver. 3.21, this seems easy enough, and a nice surprise to not have a fee to pay for an upgrade! I suggest you contact their tech. support for the address. -Rad
Hi Bill, I guess I'll keep my HD, but please send me a check for $2000.00 so that I can buy the 68030 board. 8 ^ ) -Rad
Hi Karl, The latest ver. of DpaintIII is ver. 3.21. The previous version did not work with the fat agnus chip (it wouldn't recognize agnus and still thought that only 512k of video ram was available). Fat Agnus will allow you to create larger cells or "brushes" as opposed to…
I have the Supra ST-157n hard drive that uses word-sync. The drive is highly reliable and INTUITIVE! The auto-installed start-up script sets up my drive so that everytime I turn on my system, the hard drive checks itself and fixes a lot of problems (incomplete files, damaged files: equal to…
You might also try GO AMIGO! which is a WHEREHOUSE that has a store front. Look in the latest AMIGA WORLD mag. to check out their prices and thier large stock of software. -rad
HMMMMM! That is BIZARRE! WEIRD! MA-CABE-REE (MACABRE)! HYPOTHETICAL, AND WHOLLY POSSIBLE! I'll check out the update file and see if they mention it. GOLLY THAT'S WEIRD! I MEAN, IT'S JUST, JUST, JUST-JUST, weird, ya know? Like, wow man. -rad
Cool Moose! Here's my $1,000,000 question. Does any of your software allow for a genlock device? I need to modify digitized "scapes", bend them, twist them, turn them, and then key them onto video. Is this possible with the products you folks produce? Also, I saw that your program, Digi-Paint…
Hellraiser (good) and Hellraiser II (blech, in my opinion) are much more gory than Nightbreed. Nightbreed doesn't have near as much gore as those 2! The story is based on the book, "Cabal" and basically asks the question, "What if every monster that you've ever heard of (dinosaur-like godzillas excluded)…
by the way, what the heck was the program he was using? :^) -rad
I saw the story reported on a show called "Hard Copy." I never knew that news could be sensationalized so well! Although I still prefer to read the Weekly World News, "SPACE ALIEN DIES FROM EATING CHEESEBURGER!" or "ANIMAL PSYCHIC REVEALS THAT PIGS ARE ACTUALLY SAINTS!" My life has become…
Ahh, see I thought that there were several different BRANDS of the same stuff and all the companies that were also using the same chemical to replace the f-carbons that damaged the ozone pulled their product off the shelves as well. Well anywayz,… Hey I just called NewTek about their…
I'll be getting it before the end of the month, so I'll let you know. The interface is great though, for example, lets say that I want exactly 60 seconds of digitized sound, All I have to do is specify 60 seconds in the allocation menu and WHAM! I have…
wow, this is getting heavy, man! Did you see the news story about the "Silly String" (or is it ("Crazy String?") that was released on the market in the aerosol cans that did't damage the Ozone when sprayed? They showed a birthday party where a kid had a can of…
Is this a simple bug to ecreate? If it is/isn't could you tell me how I can check fr it on thecurrent version. I'll let you know the results!! -rad
(i was joking) -rad
Hi Mikey, My friend got futuresound 500 for $119. It's a better digitizer in that it comes with a CABLE so, unlike perfect sound, you don't have to connect the bow itself to the back of your system. BUT…. So far, we have found that the FutureSound 500 is incompatible…
Thanks for the info on PS 3.0, I'm sure other people are also interested in how it performs. A friend and I are hopping down to the store tonight to pick-up the latest FutureSound digitizer (there's a new version out supposedly)

#What's Impossible?
Message #30202
Picture this (I'm a twilight zone kinda guy) 50 thousand tubes and relays creating an Amiga in 1945, of course, it runs at a pittly 1.34 mhz. but given 30 minutes, it will load dpaint and run it. Kinda of weird, huh? That's the way I am, for example, I…
Ah, the minute I wrote you a reply I looked in my latest issue of AMIGA WORLD and found the info I was looking for. 14.5 mhz is a good speed, unfortunately I have a small problem of rendering time vs. production time. Otherwise I would leap on it! -rad
Ahhh, I see! As for the level control, I find the RAMPING option in several other programs to do just as well and better in some specific instances, yet I suppose we're all tired of having to reach behind our Amigas and fool with that daffy volume control on the…

I had a similar problem with my ECE MIDI interface, it turns out that certain ECE MIDI interfaces are defective. How can you tell? EASY, just look at the cable coming out of the back of your ECE that goes to the serial port of your AQmiga 2000, if the…
Ed, I want that board soooo bad!!! 68020/68881? Are we talking 20 or 25 mhz here? -rad, the guy who would love to reduce rendering times!
Hope you don't think I'm panning your program. It has a very user friendly interface! :^) -rad

#B & P demo questions
Message #30101
Melissa, I'll bet you had the same problems as I did trying to re-establish connection with Compuserve (smirk). I took a look at the Bars&Pipes demo and It seemed fairly straight forward. I am currently using Dr.T's music software and what I like about the program is that I can…

Message #30098
Jusayt in case no one has said anything about Dpaint III, there is a FREE upgrade to ver. 3.21. What's wrong with the previous version you ask? FAT AGNUS! I got the Fat Agnus for my 2000 and expected to create HUGE brushes, but then it wouldn't work! A speedy…

#ProWrite 3.0
Message #30096
Hi James, Could you please tell us what the suggested retail price is for the new version of ProWrite 3.0? The program sounds great and it sounds like just the kind of "everything" word processor that I need! -rad

Hi Rob, As official rep. for Activision, I would be happy to attend your event and possibly show off some shtuff to your users. -rad
I'm sure there are several replies to your message Mike, but here are my .02 cents anywayz… 1) Perfect Sound 3.0 has gotten lots of flack because the only prg. that can utilize it is the Perfect Sound 3.0 software. Most of my developer pals absolutely SWEAR by AudioMaster II…

Casio CZ-101 & A2000?
Message #28626
Hi Chris, Being a "new musician" myself I didn't understand how to get my Casio MT-540 (an EXCELLENT keyboard for a LOW price) to work with my 2000. I eventually ended up getting Dr. T's MRS program (the beginners version) and an ECE midi interface. They work EXCELLENTLY with my…
