But the big question is can it do REAL aduio as well, and if so what
if any card is needed, and supported. (The original poster asked that
both sampled audio (16 bit @ 44.1 KHz) and Midi operated together on
the same machine under the same program)
Other than the Amiga using the Bars and Pipes and Studio 16 combo, and
some programs for the mac (which is the standard and has some very
impressive features) I do not know of any other software for
any other platform that allows this (SGI and Sun not included).
Af course the last version I saw of Cake Walk was about a year ago,
but even still, I do not know of any boards for the PC that will
allow for multi track hard disk record of up to 8 channels.
