oops!!!
sorry to have offended you air!!!
and it seems samplaire did contribute as well on the mac topic.
it's just, this subhuman is all over the place.
so everyone: it was actually air and sam who did the 'optimize your mac for audio' topic.
i checked out samplenet and it does seem to have some nice 'all round' sounds, thanks
the link analog dude suggested seems to have some goodies as well.
can't wait till everything's installed again.
btw, a friend gave me this little program everyone will know i think: stomper. i installed it on an old PII 120Mhz laptop and it does the job just fine. only problem now is: how to get the wav files from my laptop, which only has a floppy drive (no internet connection), to my mac, which only has CD and zip drives.

is softwindows freeware?
