Subject: band in a box

Have just purchased band in a box on a recommendation and find that it works
great in Dos mode when I use the emuset and megaem to use the Roland
emulation only. However I am having problems with the Band in a Box for
Windows and the emulations. Has anyone had any experience with Band n a 
Box? What settings, etc?

The FP3D program is licensed by Gravis from Forte I believe.  You have to 
buy it from Gravis because they have to pay Forte a royalty (I got it a 
long time ago for $15.00 direct from Gravis.  I'm not sure if that price 
still holds true...)

Once you get it, I would be interested in seeing anything you do with 
it.  I spent some time with it and determined that the files would end up 
being to large to include in my games...

	Well, there should be a great loss in the noise when recording 
with the 16bit add on, as for the actual quailty, I am not sure since i 
have a MAX and it is native on that card, and also done differently than 
the add on card does it with the normal GUS.


> Does any of you guys use GUS + GUSMAX in same machine?

	Sorry guy, you cannot put two GUS in one machine, it isn't 
possible. An SB or a clone yes, but not two GUS.  I belive that the 
daughter card just plugs onto the GUS card and doesn't require another 
slot to be used.

	No problems at all, went in like a dream and hasn't stoped 
working perfectly since.  The only time I have a problem is when some one 
has written shitty code for the sound support.

My plain old GUS has been trouble free too.  I suppose the biggest problems
have been some minor software ones, like some patches being corrupted and
the fact that if I run two GUS apps at once (like, the mixer plus the
patch manager) it causes my display driver, which is quirky anyway, 
to crap out.  The whole screen typically goes blank, and sometimes I can
resurrect it by mousing around and clicking to bring pieces of things back
and then closing one of the apps as soon as I can see the control menu,
but sometimes all I can do is reboot.  But, Microsoft Access cue cards caused
this to happen too, and sometimes Cakewalk does it if I run it too long at 
a time, so it's not just the GUS.

I use the GUS mostly for playback of csound generated samples.
I've had this GUS since Nov '92 and the software now released with it is
considerably easier to use than what it originally came with, plus there are
more third party products about.
A lot of the people who complained earlier on were worried about compatiblity
with soundblaster type cards..not an issue for you or I.

BTW if you are reading this list and you've released a piece of GUS
music software in the last couple of months, please tell us about it!  I dont
have the time to wade through all the dross in comp.sys.ibm.pc.soundcard.*
and Im sure this must be true for a number of other list subscribers.

Subject: Simultaneous play+rec on GUSMAX? How?

Hello everyone!
I would like to know if this is possible (play+rec) with the standard 
software bundled with the card or do I need SAW or some shareware (which)?
Also if it does work, is it good?
