I've been seeing impressive claims for Sunrize's Amiga audio editor which is designed for video post production. Since spec sheets can say only so much, my simple question is: For those video pros who've actually tried this board, does it work as good it claims to? Is the audio clean? Are the TC triggers EXACT? Is it quick and simple to use? Do talking head voices match talking head pictures? Is it, after all, a REALLY GOOD video post-production tool? I know the objective specs, I want the professional subjective impressions. <-SJK->

Hi Steven, I don't own one yet. Personally, I am waiting for the 16 bit version with midi ports and digital in/out ports. I have heard from users that it is good, tho. One person to contact is Bill Thompson 71360,1055. He has been using it since it came out. C.Julson—->via Whap

I've been beta testing it for about a year. I stripe SMPTE on videotape and then trigger the sounds to match the animations. Dead perfect, every time. I played back a four track file that was 122 megs long without a hitch. Sometimes I have to check if I am listening to the CD or the copy. Good stuff. Editing is great and real time DSP'ing is weak. –Paul Still on AutoPilot

I've only had my Sunrize a couple of weeks but I'm blown away. In my first few hours I mixed a voice over background music plus SMPTE-timed sound effects. Its easy to use, produces good quality sound. Considering what the same capabilites cost on other platforms, its a terrific value. The only big thing I find missing is a time line during edit.

Bill, You'll be able to use the AD516 with the time-line editing feature of Bars&Pipes Pro when V.2.0 is released in the fall. Dom Fontana
