Really?  And I thought AM III was going to support the PS 3.0 hardware!  Plus,
my PS hardware needs to be replaced-- it chops off the bottoms of the waves.
Doesn't degrade the quality *too* low, but who knows how much better my
samples would sound with those bottoms?

>I just dump it and buy one that is supported?

Perfect Sound 3.0 hardware has a software controlled input gain; most software
doesn't know about that and so the PS 3.0 hardware is unusable with these
other packages.  I thought OXXI/Aegis was going to remedy this with AM III.

I recommend those in the market for digitizer hardware avoid Perfect Sound 3.x
and go for Amas or Future Sound or anything... I have seen QuasarSound, which
is software and it looks much better than the PS 3.0 software.  SunRize has
a new version of PS -- 3.1 -- which has realtime echos and something else, but
QuasarSound has that too.  So avoid SunRize... they pushed the 3.x Perfect
Sound out the door a bit too early and it shows.

>Or is there some way I can fix what I have to work with everything else?

Don't think so.
