   I found that on my 386-40 the problem was with my cache.
If I turn off the 128k cache the noise turns back into music.  This does 
slow my computer down to a certain extent, so I usually don't do this.
Newer software drivers seem to eliminate these effects, so most newer games
don't have this problem.

How can you put more than one soundcard on a PC under MS Win MM extensions?
Assuming the cards are set to different IRQs and use different port addresses,
how does one configure the MIDI=, WAVE=, etc. variables in system.ini
to permit multiple drivers to be loaded.  Is the numerical suffix
(e.g. as in Wave1=) a signal to windows to permit multiple drivers?
Will this only work (if at all) with soundcards from different manufacturers
(using differently named drivers), or can 2 similar cards be used.

(A friend w/o net access asked my to post this.  Please reply to the
newsgroup - I'll summarize & mail him the response.)

Thanks in advance for any help.

Actually there are Adlib Gold cards available.  Since that German
company (name?) took an interest in Adlib, I guess they decided to
start shipping the Gold.  I saw an Adlib Gold 1000 in Compucentre
here in Ottawa about 3 weeks ago.  I'm not sure I'd buy one yet
though since it's not really clear whether the card will get full
support re the add-on boards, drivers, etc.

Howdy folks,

     I've recently done some professional editing and production work
with a package called ProTools on a Mac IIfx.  With it, I was able to
take digital sources (DAT, CD, etc..) in at 44.1khz, display them as
indivdual waveforms, cut/paste/shape those waveforms in parallel tracks
(SMPTE coded and matched), and mix/bounce them to a stereo or mono
master.  With this system (and a 6-Gbyte optical disk farm) I was able
to produce a DDD 90-minute soundtrack.

     I don't have the tens of kilobucks it cost the owner of that studio
to build one of my own.  I am trying to determine if there is a PC
equivalent (for much less $$ obviously) that would allow me to go
through a similar editing/production process (minus the SMPTE
compatibility) and still be able to produce (much shorter) professional
quality / digitally mastered audio work.

     Yesterday, I upgraded my 386 system with a 100mb hard drive card.
I took a long hard look at the Pro-Audio Spectrum 16, and bought it for
the 14 day test period my local computer store allows.  I managed to
install it and discover some of the other necessities I lacked (Windows,
a mouse, etc.) and have obtained those necessities (fortunately at no
cost via my kind employer).  

     What I need to know without crawling through countless issues of
the major PC magazines out there is: Is the PAS-16 sound card one that
will support (perhaps in future application software developed for it or
that might exist now) a basic multi-track digital editing environment?
I'm not versed with MIDI, and so far, the .WAV editor and playback
software that came with the package appears to support only single-track
manipulations (the "blend" feature appears to be quite limited, so I'm
not sure detailed cross-fades are even possible with the provided
software).  Further, based on what I've read here, I'm confused as to
whether this card offers true 44.1khz record/edit/playback support for
CD and MIC sampled sources.

    Any insights (especially from people with digital sound post-prod.
experience with 386/consumer systems) would help me tremendously.

Thanks for any help (posted or private)

Hello, all,

I have a 386SX, 16MHz PC, with a 3Com 3C501 Ethernet Network
Interface, and FTP Software's TCP/IP software for the 3C501.

I recently purchased a Sound Blaster Pro to make some games a little
more interesting, as well as to play around with the sound generation
and playback capacilities.

Well, I've done everything I can, but the Sound Blaster Pro board
and the Ethernet board do not seem to get along.  If the Sound Blaster board
is not installed, the Ethernet board works fine.  The Ethernet board
is configured at I/O address 0x390, IRQ 7, NO DMA.  The Sound Blaster
is configured at I/O address 0x220, IRQ 5, DMA3.  The Sound Blaster board
works with the test programs even if the Ethernet board is installed.

But no matter what I do, the Ethernet will not work if the Sound Blaster
is plugged into the bus.  I even removed ALL of the straps (IRQ, DMAREQ, DMAACK)
on the SoundBlaster board and put it in the bus, and the Ethernet board still
wouldn't work.

This is a problem, as I would like to two boards to be able to co-exist.

I used to have the Ethernet board at 0x380, but the Sound Blaster Pro
appears to use address 0x388 and 0x389 for something (independent of the
0x220/0x240 address settings), and I thought I had solved the problem when
I relocated the Ethernet board to 0x390, but alas, it made no difference at
all.

Has anyone had similar problems, and more importantly, come up with a solution
to allow the Ethernet and SoundBlaster to peacefully co-exist?

I have several questions I'd like to be answered... sorry if these are FAQ's,
- I don't read this group very often.  Please mail responses, as I'll probably
miss posts.


Question 1:  I have a Roland MT-32.  It uses a sound generation technique known
   as "Linear Arithmetic Synthesis".  Where can I get information about all the
   parameters that go into a "partial"  (such as TVF, LFO, etc)?

Question 2:  I'm running off an IBM PS/2 Model 50Z with a microchannel MPU-401
   compatible card, which is hooked to my MT-32.  I am planning to upgrade to
   a non-microchannel 486-33 or 486-50 computer.  I use the MT-32 for both
   games and music.  I will definitely buy a SoundBlaster Pro for the new
   computer, but I am not decided about which high-end Roland I want.  Since I
   plan to use the Roland for both games and music, I need the card to be
   fully compatible with the MT-32.  I heard somewhere that the patch settings
   for the MT-32 isn't compatible with the Sound Canvas (this is second-hand
   info, so it may be wrong).  Also, a digital display (similar to the MT-32)
   is very nice for composition purposes.  Which Roland should I get?

Geez, folks here believe that everyone ships on time?  Does anyone ship on 
time?

Let's talk major vaporware.  #1 all time is MS-Windows.  Almost 5 full years
from announcement to shipping version 1.0.  Word 5.0?  Missed ship date by
9 months.   NT is going to miss by at least 3-6 months (latest is 2Q93, 
which is 3-6 months beyond the 4Q92 announced date).  IBM has had some, yes,
but so has EVERYONE who has been in the software or hardware business for
more than 3 months.  Let's not get the whole picture out of perspective,
folks.  Delays are normal, not extra-normal, in this business.

Bought one this weekend.  Didn't buy the PAS 16 because I don't think the
$60 difference for 16-bit sound is worth it, and I'm on a budget.

Now, I have problems intalling the card on my system.

System description:
- Compudyne 386 SX, 25 MHz, SVGA card, 2 Meg RAM.
- Super I/O card, controls:
	- External Hayes modem
	- Gravis joystick
	- 5 1/4 and 3 1/2 floppy drives
	- 40 Mb hard disk

Symptoms:
- System will lock on boot (screen goes blank).  It seems to lock right when
  it's going to load the device driver for the card.
- Can get it to boot by commenting out the HIMEM.SYS, DOS, and EMM386 lines
  in CONFIG.SYS.  It still locks when I do a DIR (displays the directory and
  immediately locks as described above) or a couple of <return>s.
- Can get around THIS by running DOSSHELL.  However, the character graphics
  (like the shadow on what passes for a menu in DOSSHELL) display garbage.
- Joystick port on Super IO not recognized.
- Yes, the driver gets installed at boot.  DRQ=3, IRQ=5, as per the defaults.
  I even got to run WING COMMANDER with the soundcard, with the procedure
  described above.  But if I want to use DOS for anything, or extended
  memory, I have to power off the machine and physically remove the card!!!
- System works fine without card in it (of course)

Any ideas?

This is absolutely wrong! On a sample-based card like the Ultrasound, music
is made up of instruments. You don't sample the whole thing, just the
instruments. Synth music was great on the C64 because it requires very
little memory, but come on! The Amiga doesn't use synth and most of its games
fit on a 880K floppy disk! It's time for PC sound to get real.

If the interface is LMSI, i can only suppose that the CDROM is an LMSI, no?
So it's either a CM212, CM231, CM210, CM131 or CM214. The LM232 is an
external version of the CM231 so it's the same specs. (if you find any). I
know that the CM212 with the latest rom has 375ms access and 176.4Kbyte/sec.

LMSI is Laser Magnetics Storage International Company and is a joint venture
of Phillips and Control Data. Most LMSI products are robust, but drivers are
the hell to get.

I need to get this straight. The Ultrasound has 32 voices, but in stereo, it's
only 16 voices per side. (Right?) The Adlib Gold/OPL3 has 20 stereo voices, so
does that mean it has 20 voices per side, thus 40 voices in total?? I know the
U.S. sould better, but I'm curious about this.
   FYI, in the Sept. 28 PCWEEK, there's a big chart of 11 MPC companies and
there sound cards. Other than the $900+ Turtle Beach Card, the only other card
with 32 voices is <drum-roll> Ultrasound! Even the Sound Canvas only has 24
voices. Anyway, according to the chart, Adlib gold came out LAST month, and
U.S. THIS month! HA HA HA.

Can someone post/ mail me in a private message a comparison chart that
compares all the current cards available (PAS-16, Gravis Ultrasound,
Adlib Gold, Multisound, Sound Blaster & Sound Blaster 16, etc.). I don't
know if this is covered in the FAQs, speaking of that, can someone repost
the FAQ for this conference. I saw once a post that compared the PAS-16 to
other cards along with technical specs. I am looking for exactly that, so
if anyone has those text file, please post them. Many thanks in advance.
