Way back when I was first getting into electronic/computer music
making, I was tossing up between an Atari and a 6100. What sold me
on the 6100 - my first Mac - was a fantastic piece of audio recording
software called Deck from a small company called OSC. This could
play back eight CD quality tracks of hard disc audio, dynamically
mixed down to the onboard stereo outs - it even got between two and
six tracks out of an '040 machine - and play a MIDI file and a
Quicktime movie at the same time. The clincher was the eight channel
audio input SCSI device that (I was informed) OSC was developing for
under $1000 AU ($500 US).
Never got to market. OSC was bought out by Macromedia, and
development of the SCSI interface was killed. My first lesson in the
concept of vapourware.
Still, it means that now I am a Mac man, rather than an Atari Falcon
user. The larger of two ghettos </ducks>
There is a SCSI audio interface, of sorts. It's the Yamaha CBX
series, large multi-track hard disc recorders from way back, with
internal HDs and effects. Video, I can't help you with.
