I read here last week that one of the sampling programs (I forget
the name) was able to digest several minutes worth of information.
Is it worth dreaming of a system, then, which could sample a poor
quality recording (say, a twenty year old radio performance), and
use the abilities of the Amiga to clean it up? Or eliminate
reverb (assuming the waves for reverb are simply smaller clones of
the parent wave), or isolate an instrument or voice, or remove
pops, clicks, and scratches from a record? I know some very expensive
systems will do this kind of thing (generally using the Mac).
