Now is it so far. After a longer duration the new official homepage of DBPro is finally online. There you can find in future all informations, downloads, goodies ... around the Program. We would like to refer also again to the forum, where Useres can place their questions.
A new demoversion of Digibooster Professional will be soon availble for AmigaOS and MorphOS.
DBPro is a so called tracker program. It´s possible to produce your own music by using samples.

New Digibooster Professional homepage is online : Comment 35 of 36 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Neko on 15-Jan-2004 07:26 GMT | In reply to Comment 32 (Leif): Leif, there is NO difference at the fundamental level between DigiBooster,
Protracker and things like CuBase or GarageBand.
You place instruments on a time scale. The software mixes them together to
produce finished audio.
The difference between trackers and "sequencers" (although I think you mean
"professional-grade commercial software") is that trackers use obtuse
hexadecimal timelines, do not visibly link instruments except by index in a
sample bank (what an archaic concept!) and in general present an obscure and
unintuitive interface.
I can use trackers perfectly well. My brother (as in, biological brother, what
did you put "in law" for?) can use them perfectly well, too. But given the
choice between OctaMED and CuBase, he picks CuBase.
Actually both of my father and brother between them would rather play real
instruments and hate digital music production, and are perfectly at home with
an "analogue" mixing desk or PortaStudio.. but the ability to lay down tracks
makes songwriting easier, be it in a soundproofed booth with DAT tapes, or on
your home PC.
Since we're discussing computer software here, and not the merits of vinyl vs.
CD or valves vs. transistors, and the fact (FACT!) that tracker software is
archaic, outdated and definitely doesn't appeal to real musicians, compared
to alternatives on other platforms.
If you want to go around selling software to more than a handful of Amiga
geeks, you have to think of this.
