To All Sunrize AD516 Users, The setup in which I am using my AD516 is as follows: Amiga 2000 GVP '3001 '030 '882 25 MHz with 4 Mb RAM ICD Advantage SCSI Controller Maxtor 7213 Hard Drive So far, I have only been able to get 3 playback tracks at 44,100 sampling rate to playback. To do the complicated soundracks that I have been doing lately, I have been having to dump to my 8-Track recorder and synchronize with SMPTE. I have seen my dealers A4000 with Fastlane playback 8 44,100 tracks at a time so I know Sunrize is telling the truth about being able to do 8 full frequency tracks at a time. What I am wondering, is if anyone out there is getting 4 or more 44,100 sampling rate playback tracks at a time on an Amiga 2000 machine, and if they are, what's the secret? What kind of drive are you using? What kind of controller? How many simultaneous tracks are you getting? I would rather keep everything digital and avoid going to tape as much as possible, and am wondering what the right investment(s) would be to get my AD516/A2000 combination up to eight tracks at a time. Thanks, Terry Tabor
