#Audio Digitizer ?
7 messages in this thread
Hi All:
I wasn't quite sure where on the fora to put this message but this
seemed like a decent place to start. If it belongs somewhere else, please
feel free to move it or point me in the right direction.
I'm looking for an inexpensive piece of hardware that will allow me to
capture digitized sound on my A2000 with 3 Meg or RAM, the 1 Meg Agnus and
a GVP SCSI/ST-157 hard drive (in case hardware configuration matters).
Mostly, I'm looking to capture voices, probably not to exceed 10-30 seconds
duration. I would like to spend under $100 if possible. Hopefully these
captured sounds could be played in some AmigaVision things I would do.
One piece of advice I had was to purchase Perfect Sound, but to make
sure I got version 3.0 and that I might need the adaptor. Unfortunately, I
know so little that I simply could not understand the explanation that went
with this. I saw an ad for Audiomaster III which sounded good, but it may
not be an "audio sampler". If someone could offer some advice on a
reasonable piece of equipment for me to buy, it would be appreciated.
Bill,
Perfect Sound (now at 3.1, I believe) is a good package that includes both
hardware and software.
AudioMaster III is a highly regarded software (only) package for working
with audio samples. If the software that comes with whatever digitizer
that you purchase does not do everything that you need done, you might
purchase AMIII as a separate program to complement the sampler package.
Hope this helps, 8)

Does AudioMaster work with A.M.A.S.? The software that came with AMAS gurus
a lot, and I would like to upgrade.

Sylvain,
I don't know for certain whether AMIII would be able to sample using the
A.M.A.S. harware. It should be able to work with samples that you've
generated using the A.M.A.S. software and saved in IFF, or another format
supported by both programs, though. If you can live with using the
supplied software to sample, it should work for you.
Perhaps somebody with both A.M.A.S. and AM III could shed some light on the
subject. (I don't own either, myself.)
David
Sounds reasonable. AMAS works well for sampling, but the editor is kind of
unstable. I guess editing the IFF output would be good enough for me,
thanks for the reply.
Perfect Sound is just what you want. You won't need any adapter for the
2000. Perfect Sound comes with both hardware and software and gives high
quality 8 bit sampled sounds. AudioMaster is software only. It is more
specialized than the PS software but you'd want to try the PS software
first because you may not need anything more sophisticated. -JOHN K. – via
Whap!
Bill,
Let me jump in here with a little info. However be aware that I am somewhat
biased as MicroSearch has a long-time afiliation with SunRize Industries (
makers of Perfect Sound).
Version 3.1 is the latest version. It has been out long enough that you
should not have a problem getting the latest version unless you're dealing
with a dealer with really old stock.
You should not need the adapter that was mentioned as it is only needed for
the Amiga 1000. Your A2000 will not have any problems.
My vote is for the Perfect Sound! (But then you knew that, didn't you)
