- Surely an S1000 is just a computer with a 16-bit parallel port , with
- 16-bit analogue to digital convertors , with the whole thing only able to run
- one program ,ie. the sampling/editor one ?
-
- Correct me if I'm wrong , but if I bought a high-quality 16-bit sampler
- for my 'SHIT COMPUTER' (sic) , and then bought some nice editing software , then
- I would be able to sample as well as an S1000 can , as all it is is an extremely
- expensive computer which can't do shit all else ... OK , I might not have top
- notch S1000 , but then maybe I don't want everything to sound as produced as
- Madonna :-)
-
- Take , for example , Audiomaster IV on the Amiga .... it can stretch
- samples without altering the pitch , alter the pitch without stretching the
- sample ,etc... can you do this on an S1000 ( I really have no idea here :-) ???
-
- If it came down to it , the money spent on an S1000 could keep me in
- STUSSY for year ...
- Anyway , can't you buy a reasonable car for the price of an S1000 ???
-
- As someone (Eric , I think) pointed out , sample quality is a subjective thing
- and depends on the application of the sample , so why sample at a higher quality
- when you really don't need to ??
-
- The SPARC 10 in front of me has 8-channel 16-bit Audio , so what makes a S1000
- so much better ?
