AMIII...Anyone try it with GS?

[Larry]

Howdy,

Anyone try an AMIII with GS? I\'ve retired the card,and have been trying to sell it. I know it\'s not a tested card, but maybe someone got it working. Would keep it if GS worked well with it.

TIA,

AMIII - you mean that expensive toy from digidesign?

[Larry]

Yeah....It was expensive. But at the time it was probably the best sounding sc(4 years ago)imho. It\'s still 24bit if you go spdif, and would run to my digital mixer if it worked ok with GS.

Oh, you mean the older AM ... yeah the card is still great and worx faithfully. But I don´t think with GS, because Digidesign has no dirX drivers.

[Larry]

As far as the PC world is concerned Digidesign support stinks. The AMIII is THE LAST Digi product I\'ll ever buy just for that reason. They didn\'t do me any favors by putting the AMIII card on the market. But they glad to take my money http://www.northernsounds.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/frown.gif

I don´t like digi, too. It´s a firm doing highly professional products for a high price. The lower range products are much too expansive for the features they have - maybe the digi 001 is a expectation, but this product shows how digidesign is pissing on users who have invested 10 times the money on a mixplus or so.
But avan many sound cards having direct X drivers are not good for GS, because latency often is too high.

Guess I\'ll have to go with a GS approved card when the time comes to get GS. Relatively small price to pay for a great piece of s/w. I\'m currently using a PeaveySP for my sampling, and althought the sound is respectable(not great), it can\'t touch the GS.

As far as the 001 is concerned, I use LogicAudio for my sequencer. Just today in the Logic users group there was an announcement that Digi hasn\'t released any driver data to Emagic. So the 001 isn\'t supported by Logic. Almost sounds like the AMIII all over again........

Thanks for your info.

[holger]

When i bought gigasampler, i had the audio media III. I tried to use in my system ( Pentium 2, 128 MB, one hd seagate medalist with 3.1 GB, and the other an ultra wide scsi cheetah with 9.1 GB. My mother board is an intel but the external clock are not enough. 66 mhz. I think a pentium 2, mother board from 400 mhz and external clock with 100 mhz makes difference. But not for an audio media III. Digidesign has no drivers for gigasampler. And friends of mine here in Brasil aren\'t not too happy with 001. I think you can do a good musical production with Aark 20/20+ or Aarc 24bits. Midi and Audio at the same time. Cubase or Cakewalk 8.0 or higher. And Samplitude for audio (like a mini protools). Forget audiomedia III with giga. Ask about to Dave from Nemesys.
Best regards,
Ed

Ed,

Thanks for the reply. It\'s what I thought about the AMIII. Though I was hoping for better.
