OCR: :AM/FM XXX AMIGA VS IBM PC A COMPARISON IN SOUND & MUSIC * AM/FM *** This weekend I was at a friend's place, having a look at the IBM PC's sound/music capabilities, and some of it's music software etc, and I thought some of you might be interested in hearing where the PC stands at the Moment, compared to the Amiga. Like all of you, I'm an eager Amiga amigo, so before you start slagging me off for turning over to the enemy etc ., the background for my PC-studies is that your favourite AM/FM Editor (me) is not only your favourite AM/FM editor (me). .. when I'm not editing AM/FM, I sometimes work as a musician for various software companies, composing music for their games, So far I've only been concentrating on the Amiga, but I think it might be a good idea to offer the software houses the same music in both Amiga and PC format, as they are almost always releasing their games for both computer types, and while they're at it, usually also for the Atari ST. I had heard that by loading the Amiga songs directly into the PC, it could be replayed through a so called "Soundblaster" card which is something the PC-owners buy when they are tired of the built-in piezo-speaker on the PC, and want to move one step up the sound quality ladder, The soundblaster is a card that you stuff inside the PC, and it makes the sound better. The card actually 44 boasts 22 kHz kHz, which is sampling rate, the "Soundblaster Pro" an impressing actually much better than the Amiga can do.
