The April issue of Electronic Musician has a survey of computers for
making music.  There are articles on tha Amiga, ST, PC and Mac.  The
Amiga article is pretty well written, the guy is real Amiga zealot.
(but aren't they all?)

It lists a large number of packages either available or available RSN.
Of particular note is M and Jam Factory .. in fact, the packages are
listed in the NAMM report, mentioned in the Amiga article, and even in
an advertisement!

In the NAMM report of "what's hot and what's cold" ... last year they
crowned the Amiga "cold" because of the lack of music software.  This
year, the Amiga gets a special mention because of the wealth of music
software becoming available.

The Amiga is also favorably mentioned in the April Keyboard magazine.
It hurts to see two-page Atari and Apple ads in both magazines, but no
Amiga ads.  The C-64 was THE music computer for a long time; there's
no reason for CBM not to exploit that and promote the A500 as the next
generation music machine.
