Ever met a professional producer, Tom? We use the best programs available on any computer: C-Lab's CREATOR/NOTATOR for sequencing, Digidesign's ATARI SOUND TOOLS for digital audio recording/editing, and POLYFRAME for patch editing. None, I repeat, NONE of these have been ported to the Amiga. And unless future Amiga machines clean up the severe MIDI timing problems they've got now, they never will be. > On the other hand, Amiga sales are higher than ever. Bzzzt!

Amiga ST emulators blow. They're all slow, buggy, and none, I say again NONE, work properly with any MIDI software whatsoever. Makes ME want to rush out and buy one, so I can play 32-million- coloured games instead of all that WORK I'm getting done now. > I have received several requests for > information to smooth the conversion from the Atari to the Amiga.

In turn, I offer to help YOU smooth the conversion of your lips from their present location to my sweaty posterior. I do this as a service! Tom, I haven't read such a heap of bunk it a long time. If you're frustrated that your computer isn't being used in any professional environment, fine. But don't come over here and shovel propaganda and outright false statements in an effort to get others to join you in your malcontence. Grow up. A "my computer is better" rant under any other name smells equally bad, no matter how you may attempt to dress it up. ^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^\\\^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~ darling@cellar.UUCP \\\ Thomas Darling * record production * dance re-mixing uunet!cellar!darling \\\ Fact HQ Studio * The Cellar BBS:215/336-9503 * FACT v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~\\\~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~
