hammerhead drum thing

does anyone know how to change Hammerhead-created files into something useful, like a WAV or an MP3? it creates these stupid HH files.

"Stream to disc" is the option that makes .wav

Korgs and computer sequencing(Aargh!)

Posted by Beau on Fri, 10/01/1999 - 01:21.

I would like to be able work on my sequences on a computer sequencing program. What do I need to do this?

soundcard and sequencing-program

Posted by sniffa on Fri, 10/01/1999 - 06:06.

you need a soundcard with midi-support (even a
SB16 is enough) and a simple sequencer. there
are lots of freeware progs around. if you have
some money over you could buy cubasis, a light
version of cubase.

can anyone explain this??????

Posted by effjay the deejay on Fri, 10/01/1999 - 00:14.

whenever i used to put an audio cd in the cd rom drive it would list the contents as track01.cda etc.
Now for some reason it shows two sub directories...
mono & stereo. underneath these dir are two more...
8 bit & 16 bit. underneath thesedir are 3 more...
11025hz 22050hz & 44100hz... Now, in these last directories there is a track list (track01 etc) but they are in wav form and are full size files. icopied the 44100hz contents to the hard drive and they played just as pcm wavs. iconverted them to mp3 and they work just fine. why is this so?? what it means is that i don,t have to rip tracks from the cd,s any more i can just make mp3's straight from the wav file on the audio cd. i have never seen this before...

did you install CDFS.VXD ?

Posted by sniffa on Fri, 10/01/1999 - 06:13.

maybe you copied the file CDFS.VXD into your
windows/system directory. because that's the
effect of this driver.

be happy and enjoy.

New Home Studio Setup

Posted by Dan Schneck on Thu, 09/30/1999 - 19:31.

Hello all...
I have been doing a TON of shopping around and researching music production software on the Web & in local stores. I am a piano/keyboard player interested in setting up my own home studio. I will be building a CPU and setting up appropriate software to record my synths, modules, samplers, etc. Any tips as to which is the best recording software available? I have been contemplating between Logic Platinum, Cubase VST, or Digital Performer. Thx for your input! :)

Re: New Home Studio Setup

Posted by Joe Cirino on Fri, 10/01/1999 - 18:51.

Look bro, since your only going to do 4 trks of Audio, go with
Cakewalk Home studio, its only 80 bucks and is very pwoerful.
Next, you dont need to spend all the cash on a good sound card your
going to do mostly MIDI. A Soundblaster Live Card in my opinion is well under rated and would be Much cheaper and
also supports Sound fonts!!
My recomendation to you is THINK Before you buy!!
Do I realy need all ThIS?
Peace!

Re: New Home Studio Setup

Posted by Dan Schneck on Thu, 09/30/1999 - 19:41.

By the way, I have other questions regarding the soundcard and MIDI card(s) I will need to purchase. I have been looking at the DMAN 2044 audio card and the Emagic AMT8 MIDI setup. Are these logical choices for me? I will be doing mostly MIDI work, but will also need the capability of recording up to four audio tracks as well. Thanx again for any ideas.....

Re: New Home Studio Setup

Posted by Mic on Thu, 09/30/1999 - 20:18.

Take a look at Guillemot ISIS.
8 inputs 4 outputs (optical/coaxial in/outs for
that minidisc too)
and a samle playback synth.
Very quiet (outboard A/D/A s)
A bit ackward syntesiser interface and very few DSP effects
but I like it overall.
Makes the 2044 look expensive.

Posted by Liam on Thu, 05/11/2000 - 19:11.

what you need to do is asign the actual program more memory not the channels...
How much memory you got in your mac??
what sort of mac???
post back to me and I will tell you how to do it...
I also know which plugins can cause fuck ups.

Impulse Tracker

Posted by Halldór Hrafn Jónsson on Thu, 09/30/1999 - 04:26.

Just wondering , anyone out there who has used impulse tracker to make a song that was released on a cd/lp ?

Thnx.....

Re: Impulse Tracker

Posted by sniffa on Thu, 09/30/1999 - 06:32.

there exist several "scene"-cds filled with mods
made by trackers. have a look on sites like
www.scene-central.com or www.hornet.org.

but I don't think that anyone makes professional
music with a tracker.

WAV to MIDI? Inputs needed for Cakewalk?

Posted by Mike B on Wed, 09/29/1999 - 16:07.

Hey all-

I got Cakewalk home studio V8, but I don't have any MIDI instruments, just analog guitar and bass, and a REALLY old electric organ. My plan was to just record my stuff on my cassette 4-track, then play it into the computer, but I can't figure out how to get it into MIDI format so cakewalk can recognize it. Do I need some kind of hardware to convert to MIDI, or can I record the stuff as WAV and convert it internally? PLEASE, PLEASE help, I'm getting really frusterated. Thanx!

I know that you can use Modplug Tracker (do a search for the Modplug site on the internet, should be easy to find) to convert files from midi to wav in the instruments section by saving your .midi file as .wav it may sound different than you expect though. At the moment I am trying to figure this out in Cakewalk 9.

Cubase and QS8. HELP!!!

Posted by Going Crazy on Wed, 09/29/1999 - 03:17.

Does any one know why I would not be able to get the sound from the OMS patch after I have closed the song. If I select a sound from the OMS patch it plays and records fine. However, when I close the song and then go back to the song, the OMS patch box shows the sound I have selected, but plays something different, even on the recorded parts. I have the keyboard set on mutlitimbral. I have talked to a lot of people and can;t seem to get anyone who can figure out why the patch is not holding the sound. PLEASE HELP!!

Re: Cubase and QS8. HELP!!!

Posted by sniffa on Wed, 09/29/1999 - 06:15.

try switching off all parameters like SYSEX,
AFTERTOUCH and PROGRAM CHANGE in the MIDI SETUP.
and deactivate the option RESET ON STOP.

maybe this will help you.

Posted by Dennis Morton on Sun, 03/05/2000 - 04:40.

Try selecting all parts on that track and manually
setting the patch name,bank #, program #, to off. Now, reselect that track while making sure that no actual parts on that track are selected and re-enter your patch name. It seems that while the track is set to play a certain patch, the actual part or parts on that track are set to play another patch.
