        I've been trying to get Soundsmith up and running for a month
now and nothing seems to work. The only time it worked at ALL was when
I tried a copy 0.7b on the GS at school, the opening came up and after
that promptly died. The GS at school has ROM 03. I have ROM 01 and the
same version would not work. Until just today I was using GS/OS 5.0 and
found out that Soundsmith needs 5.0.2 so I ran out and got me one.
Unfortunately it didn't help. Has anyone else had trouble with Soundsmith?
If so, any solutions or suggestions? Normally I would just give up with
problems like this but I converted several of Soundsmith's instrument files
over to Music Studio 2.0 and got 'em to work, they sounded very impressive,
if the rest of the package works like that I want to try it!
        Has anyone used *Sound* Studio? This program is really
handy for examining sounds and playing with them, however its usefulness
ends there - it does not save a sound you have manipulated as ASIF
rendering it useless on Soundsmith or Music Studio. Why is this? Was it
that much more effort to save the sounds witn a standardized file structure?
I was also disapointed that you could not manipulate the wave itself. I've
seen such programs on the Mac, why not on a superior machine like the GS?
