Producer: John Holston
Music and lyrics by: John Holston
14 reMixer tracks

This tune was composed in MIDI using Cakewalk Pro Audio 8.0 and Reality 1.5.3 for all the instruments. The vocal tracks were recorded onto Cakewalk Pro Audio multi tracks, mixed down to one track and edited into samples in Sound Forge 4.0. The resulting vocal samples were then imported into the Reality sound bank and mapped to the keyboard using Reality. Going back to Cakewalk the vocal samples were then “played” on the keyboard controller while the other MIDI tracks played. After the MIDI file was complete it was imported into Reality and the entire soundbank was saved as a SeerMusic file, given a discrete name, and you are now listening to it!

Gear used: Homemade computer with Pentium II-350, 64 megs RAM, Win 98, AWE64 Gold sound card, Stedman vocal mic, Behringer Autocomp compressor.

Reality Makes CTL Profits

Creative’s High Profit Formula: Seer WaveSynth + AWE32 = AWE64

Our gross margins have increased for the fifth quarter in a row. They are now at 32.9 percent and our cash position has doubled in the last year to US $463 million, said Sim Wong Hoo, chairman and chief executive officer of Creative Technology Ltd. “Not only are our finances strong, our products are too. Never before in our history have we had so many stunning new products to unleash to the market. Our Sound Blaster(r) AWE64 family of audio cards continues to be widely accepted in the market and now far surpasses the Sound Blaster 16 in revenue.

[source?]

Thus, CTL’s subsequent attempts to rewrite history such that their software venture was unsuccessful or did not have further potential are utterly disingenuous. To wit, Reality 1.0 using the same core software engine simultaneously shattered all expectations for paradigm-changing professional synthesis.

And Today, they call it Podcasting

Of course stereo (and more) was already built into the voice engine.

The AWE32 was based on the E-mu 8000 chip substantially created by Dave Rossum. To this were added our 32 software voices to make the AWE64, one of the most successful sound cards produced. Though it now seems high, I seem to recall that the figure of 18 million units was often mentioned.
