I have an Amiga sound related question I'm hoping someone may be able to help with… … I'm a student in a program at New York University which makes extensive use of Amiga hardware and software to produce a local (New York City) cable television program. Currently the show makes use of a separate audio tape cassette machine in order to supply a sound track (i.e. sound accompanying the Amiga produced graphics presentations). We are beginning to use a program called THE DIRECTOR to sequence images created for our production. We would like to be able to locate a sound player that can be started from within DIRECTOR (with a DIRECTOR "execute" command calling a CLI "execute" or "run" to start an Amiga disk based sound file). We have yet been able to find a sound player that will "run" in the background (multi-task) while the DIRECTOR program is running (sound players we have tried all take control of Amiga CPU and do not allow DIRECTOR script to continue until sound file has played to completion)… … So, the question is: How can we get sound files (files started from within DIRECTOR calls to CLI) to play in the background (while DIRECTOR scripts continue to run). We are using Electronic Art's INSTANT MUSIC and need a sound player that will work from within DIRECTOR (i.e. play Instant Music files started-up from within DIRECTOR and play in the background while DIRECTOR script is executing). Thanks in advance to anyone that has an answer to our problem.
