Emax

Thanks Tristan,  What software do you recommend?  I went to this 
link:  http://users.skynet.be/emxp/ and my wife has an older PC with 
Microsoft XP and the 3.5 floppy slot that would supposedly work.  
Also, some I have seen use Alchemy or Digidesign Sound Designer for 
Mac.  I could pick up an older Mac machine with OS7.5 fairly 
cheaply.  What software do you recommend?  How easy is it to find 
these softwares...I've tried Googling, but their age doesn't get much 
hits (Sound Designer website calls it "Prehistoric").  Any modern 
software that would work with my Emax HD SE?  Thanks!  -Alan
