I'm getting the waveblaster, I've got a sb16. You mean that awe 32
DOESN'T have the wave blaster built in? Sound Blaster is a rip off. They
seem to produce things expressly for the purpose of selling overpriced
add-ons. Of course the reason they can do this is because they're the
best out there. I've heard other people say they get 'tinny' sound from
both the Gus AND the AWE32. I notice YOU selected general midi. Maybe
that's why, I dunno, they BOTH probably sound fine, as long as you get
them configured correctly. Have you heard the sb16 with thw waveblaster
and asp chip add-ons? How do they sound compaired to the awe32? From
what I understand the difference is VERY tecnical, and the "PRO'S" don't
think much of the awe32. It's the one reason I'm not too mad at the
price of the wave blaster. With the sb16, I've HEARD, if you hook up to
an ocilliscope you can see the difference. (?) I've HEARD the awe32 uses
this NEW tecnology which is supposed to give you orchestra capability.
I've also HEARD it doesn't work all the time, (bugs!) and I'm hoping the
setup I've got is AS good. I'm TIRED of upgrading! What do YOU think?
