RBF Software Octamed Soundstudio

soundonsound.com

OctaMED Soundstudio emerges as a triumphant beacon for Amiga users, delivering unparalleled sample editing and tracking capabilities. Its innovative digital mixing allows for a multi-channel experience beyond the platform's hardware limitations. While the Amiga scene remains turbulent, this software impressively revitalizes it with features like MIDI support and advanced sample handling. Despite the platform's struggles, OctaMED Soundstudio stands as the ultimate music tracker for Amiga, hinting at a promising future on PC. The only downside is the uncertain future of the Amiga platform itself, yet this program shines as a testament to its potential.

The time spent on my Amiga and this

and doing stupid things like record in sections of a song to just play it back, but having to time each sample to play smoothly because samples could only be so big. and making a track where the piano went hard left to right with every chord... XD ... easy... listening
