Short: 8SVX Sample made with Maestro Prof. TYPE: music/sound I suppose that everyone downloads also this readme file if he downloads the sample. The docs inside the archive are GERMAN! I had no time to throw together an English docfile so I write all important stuff to this file. I sampled this fine tune with Maesto Professional (produced by MacroSystems). That's a internal card for A2000/3000(T)/4000. The card is connected to a CD-player or DAT recorder via optical or coaxial cable. Maestro reads the digital output and saves it to the hard disk. The point is that Maestro writes the 16-bit data it gets from the source! If you play the sample the output is 14-bit via your Amiga. The sampling frequence is 44.1kHz as it is stored to CD at this frequency. I let the Maestro software convert the 44.1kHz to about 22kHz so the original 22MB file had 11MB. Then I exported the sample to 8SVX format so that other people can play it without special software. The sample now has a length of about 2.8MB. That's okay, isn't it? The quality is very very good, just listen to it! Better than those nifty samplers for the parallel port, eh? :-)) If you have questions or want to contact me: My name is Sami Radwan and I run a BBS in Germany called 'Amiga on Phone'. The number is +49-[0]721-859432. The modem is an US Robotics dual standard (14.4k - sysopdeal for the 16.8k is actually running :-) ). Use my fido-net address, if you're a member of fido: 2:241/7520.0 Or use Internet: ui0b@dkauni2.bitnet oh, I totally forgot: the sample consists of four parts of the Rapunzel-gag on the CD "Kann denn Schwachsinn Suende sein?" from the well known (at least here) group EAV (Erste Allgemeine Verunsicherung). Have Fun! Sami.
