- Subject: band in a box
-
- Have just purchased band in a box on a recommendation and find that it works
- great in Dos mode when I use the emuset and megaem to use the Roland
- emulation only. However I am having problems with the Band in a Box for
- Windows and the emulations. Has anyone had any experience with Band n a
- Box? What settings, etc?

- The FP3D program is licensed by Gravis from Forte I believe. You have to
- buy it from Gravis because they have to pay Forte a royalty (I got it a
- long time ago for $15.00 direct from Gravis. I'm not sure if that price
- still holds true...)
-
- Once you get it, I would be interested in seeing anything you do with
- it. I spent some time with it and determined that the files would end up
- being to large to include in my games...

-
- Well, there should be a great loss in the noise when recording
- with the 16bit add on, as for the actual quailty, I am not sure since i
- have a MAX and it is native on that card, and also done differently than
- the add on card does it with the normal GUS.

-
- Sorry guy, you cannot put two GUS in one machine, it isn't
- possible. An SB or a clone yes, but not two GUS. I belive that the
- daughter card just plugs onto the GUS card and doesn't require another
- slot to be used.

-
- No problems at all, went in like a dream and hasn't stoped
- working perfectly since. The only time I have a problem is when some one
- has written shitty code for the sound support.

-
- My plain old GUS has been trouble free too. I suppose the biggest problems
- have been some minor software ones, like some patches being corrupted and
- the fact that if I run two GUS apps at once (like, the mixer plus the
- patch manager) it causes my display driver, which is quirky anyway,
- to crap out. The whole screen typically goes blank, and sometimes I can
- resurrect it by mousing around and clicking to bring pieces of things back
- and then closing one of the apps as soon as I can see the control menu,
- but sometimes all I can do is reboot. But, Microsoft Access cue cards caused
- this to happen too, and sometimes Cakewalk does it if I run it too long at
- a time, so it's not just the GUS.

-
- I use the GUS mostly for playback of csound generated samples.
- I've had this GUS since Nov '92 and the software now released with it is
- considerably easier to use than what it originally came with, plus there are
- more third party products about.
- A lot of the people who complained earlier on were worried about compatiblity
- with soundblaster type cards..not an issue for you or I.
-
- BTW if you are reading this list and you've released a piece of GUS
- music software in the last couple of months, please tell us about it! I dont
- have the time to wade through all the dross in comp.sys.ibm.pc.soundcard.*
- and Im sure this must be true for a number of other list subscribers.

-
- Hello everyone!
- I would like to know if this is possible (play+rec) with the standard
- software bundled with the card or do I need SAW or some shareware (which)?
- Also if it does work, is it good?
