- 0806Y00C5NOctamed Soundstudio has been said to be the greatest music package for the
- 0801NAmiga. A program which truly rivals anything the PC has to offer and...
- 0801N
- 0801NAww fuck, its just complete shit. I don't know how anybody failed to notice
- 0801Nthis simple fact but Octamed Soundstudio is almost totally useless. Here is
- 0811Y29S4Y54S0Nmy honest opinion of all the "revolutionary features" incorporated into this
- 0801Nfat sack of shit:
- 0801N
- 0811Y00C3Y02C5N1) Fast Ram samples. Er... great... (The average module is about 300k long
- 0801Nand not even Teijoo Fuckamen or whatever his name is could write a tracker
- 0801Nthat takes up 1700k memory so why is this here? I don't know...)
- 0801N
- 0821Y00C3Y03C5Y03S4Y48S0N2) Aura 16 / Aura Interactor / Toccatta support: We don't know if this exists
- 0801Nor if he just put it the menu to take the piss. Nobody in the world has any
- 0801Nof these things anyway.
- 0801N
- 0816Y00C3Y02C4Y02C5N3) 14bit output: This is just lies.
- 0801N
- 0811Y00C3Y02C5N4) Support for other sample and mod formats: Whoopy Doo. Like I always save
- 0811Y13S4Y19S0Nfiles in the MatLab format anyhow. Also: Great support for different mod
- 0806Y09S4Nformats: MED, MED 2, OctaMED 1, OctaMED 2-3, OctaMED 4, OctaMED 5-6, OctaMED
- 0816Y12S0Y18S4Y31S0NSoundStudio and a Sound Tracker save routine that halves the modules speed
- 0801Nand fucks up all the sample loops.
- 0801N
- 0811Y00C3Y03C5N5) No Sample Size Limits: More lies.
- 0801N
- 0811Y00C3Y02C5N6) 8 Channel sound: Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha.
- 0801N
- 0811Y00C3Y02C5N7) Configurable keys: Yeah but you can't program the space bar to delete
- 0801Nstuff, which is just sadastically cruel.
- 0801N
- 0811Y00C3Y03C5N8) Mixing modes: If, in the unlikely event, you have ever bought a second
- 0821Y05S4Y28S0Y31S4Y44S0Nhand "Jesus And Mary Chain" or "Sonic Youth" LP and then got home to find it
- 0801Nwarped and scratched to fuck, and then played it through the headphones you
- 0801Ngot with your first ever walkman using a rusty nail as a stylus then you will
- 0801Nknow exactly what this sounds like.
- 0801N
- 0811Y00C3Y02C5N9) Equalizers: No, I won't spoil the surprise. Just load it up, put on a
- 0801N"banging choon" and laugh till you hurl...
- 0801N
- 0821Y00C3Y04C5Y57S2Y65S0N10) Arexx support: Bet this caused much group wanking at CU Amiga.
- 0801N
- 0811Y00C3Y02C5N6) 2 Instructions per tracker line: Another lie.
- 0801N
- 0801NAnd don't forget the fact that it takes up stupid ammounts of memory, is
- 0801Ncompletely unuser friendly to configure and still doesn't put the actually
- 0801Ntracker commands in the menus.
- 0801N
- 1228Y00F04ruby12Y00J1Y00C3Y14C5NIn conclusion: This just sucks.
