Your Letters.....
Dear Daz,
Great to read a disk based Mag dedicated to the A1200, and well
done for being the first to do so.
In reply to some of your requests stated in your mag, I have enclosed a
disk containing 3 pieces of my AGA Art for inclusion in your mag if you
think they are up to standard.
To a different subject, you'll probably find that you will have to make
the Mag 2 Disks if you start putting AGA Art on, because of the amount of
space some pictures will take up, but Hey, that's just my opinion.
On listening to the music you put on the first Issue, I hope you don't
fall into the trap other mags have and think all Amiga users love listening
to Techno/Rave music.
I realise it was your first Issue and you were probably a bit scarce for
music but anyone (Well nearly) can spend 5 minutes on Pro-Tracker, and
produce a decent Rave/Techno piece.
I've found lately that Amiga music has gone drastically down hill, most
game music now seems to be all Techno/Rave cr*p. Do you remember when
Amiga games music was good, what about "HOOK". Personally I thought the
music was superb, soooooo atmospheric, crystal clear piano samples. You
would be hard pressed to find music of that quality on an Amiga game
nowadays. Hopefully now we have the luxury of 2Mb chip Ram the music
will improve, longer samples, clearer sound. It takes real talent and
imagination to produce music that's worth listening to, not may I add,
music that only sounds good if you've had 10 pints or are high on a drug.
Lets hope some of your readers start sending in music that has had some
thought and time put into it. I'm no Mozart but then again most of the
composers of both game music and PD music are not either, they just
THINK they are.
Well now I've got that off my chest, Ill sign off. The best of luck
with your new magazine it deserves to succeed, I for one will be 100%
behind it, and try and continue to send in contributions.
I look forward to the next Issue.
Youes Faithfully

Thanks for your "short" letter Paul, and thanks for you AGA Art, some
of which you will find on this Issue!
As for the Music side of things, On the whole you are quite right about
the style of music not being to everyones taste, but as for the music
being scarce, I have at least eight disks FULL of Modules, but ALL of
these are Rave/Techno! So what choice do I have ?!?!
If any of you out there have written some "decent" tunes, get them in to
me, and I'll see if I can fit them on the next Issue of the Mag!
As for game music, you are quite right in what you say, But take a look at
some of the adventure type games like ELVIRA and WAXWORKS, These games
have some of the most atmospheric tunes that I have ever had the pleasure
of listening to !

Dear Mr.Busby
What can I say, but THANKS!, what for you may ask, but
for the Rather good A1200 disk magazine that you call CHANNEL Z !!!!
I have'nt had my AMIGA for long and I was looking through one of the AMIGA
magazines when I saw a review of your disk magazine, so I ordered it
promptly and a few days later I received my first Issue of your magazine!
(although it was Issue 2 !)
I'm glad that you don't make things sound to technical for all us newcomers
as we would'nt have a clue what you'd be talking about!
I noted the offer of the next Issue for only £2.00 so I have enclosed a
postal order for the said amount and look forward to getting it in January!
When I bought my AMIGA, I got the Paint Package called Deluxe Paint 4
free with it, but am finding it hard to get too grips with it, is there any
chance of a tutorial for this Paint Package?
Must go now (I'm going out to buy some games!)
CHEERS!

Thanks for the letter Tony, as you've probably noticed there are 2 tutorials
on these disks for Deluxe Paint 4 AGA which is the version that you will
have, as for the diskmag not being technical, I try my best not to get too
carried away whith long words and computer babble, I used to hate it too!

Dear Daz,
First of all let me just say thanks for proucing CHANNEL Z, it
was well worth waiting for! OK creeping over!
Just a short note to add a few suggestions to you, How about the Mag on
TWO disks, this way you could add MORE pictures that show off the true
potential of the AMIGA 1200, or if there is a really good PD AGA demo,
you could put it on the second disk and give us some descriptions of the
effects created by it on the other disk.
I hope you consider these ideas, as CHANNEL Z *NEEDS* to survive!
Also please find enclosed £2.00 for the next Issue and a disk with my
"CHANNEL Z LOGO" for your Competition.
Thanks again

I liked your ideas for CHANNEL Z (and everyone else who sent the
same type of letter in) so much that CHANNEL Z will now always be on
TWO disks and only cost £2.00! Thanks for your entry for the competition,
look out for the next Issue to see if you've won ! ! !
DAZ
