- You can use AGMSRecordSound (FreeWare by me, available at better FTP
- sites and on CompuServe and BIX) to record sound to your hard disk (or
- any other writeable file system). The size of the recording is only
- limited by the size of your hard disk, memory size is irrelevant. You
- can use AGMSPlaySound and other more modern sound players :-) to play
- back the resulting huge file). As for compression, I never got around
- to doing compression :-(.
-
- The quality isn't as good as with regular sound sample software since it
- leaves the Amiga OS running (oooh! a MultiTasking sound recorder) and
- that causes a small amount of noise, particularly with slower
- processors. Since you have a 68020, you should be able to do better
- quality (more samples per second) than on a simpler A500 setup, as well
- as not suffing from the noise problem. The quality on slower computers
- is quite adequate for voice, so you shouldn't have any problems.
-
- Versions are available for standard parallel port audio digitizers (like
- the AMAS that I use) and also for the oddball PerfectSound 3 hardware.
