20 LONG seconds to open/import files!

Posted by Anthony on Wed, 09/15/1999 - 07:42.

I have been running Cubase 4.1 on my Yosemite MAC G3 flawlessly for approximately 1 month before the above problem occurred.

20 LONG seconds pass before I am given the choices of which Cubase/audio/rex/midi files to open. What is the cause of this relatively new phenomenon, and how can I remedy the problem?

Important note: Before this problem manifested itself, I did try to translate some REX files written in DOS format to MAC format using PC/File Exchange. This method did not work, and I am somewhat convinced my current problem is related to my fiddling! What do I do now???

I have tried re-installing Cubase 4.1 and my system software to no avail. I have also run Norton Disk Doctor and Speed Disk to similar dissappointing results.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Posted by Don Martin on Wed, 09/15/1999 - 04:50.

I there a program that cleans up the defects in old recordings when you transfer them to CD?

Re: clean out hiss and noise during LP to CD transfer?

Posted by Richard on Thu, 10/11/2001 - 22:24.

I have a more basic question. How does one capture audio from a tape play on the computer. Someone told me to plug into my speaker on the tape player/radio and then plug other end into inline plug on sound card and all I get is garbage. Very novice at this and would like help.

I tried with Music jukebok and real player abnd get the same. Music juke box has tone of different settings tried them all. HELP!

Re: clean out hiss and noise during LP to CD transfer?

Posted by MDavis on Fri, 12/29/2000 - 13:38.

Sorry, I came in on the end of this topic. I am looking for software that will handle ticks and clicks on LP to CD transfers in a home system. I plan to record to minidisc then burn the CD. My LPs are in excellent condition but there are always a few ticks. Does the tick-removal software significantly change the music quality? I will transfer mostly classical which is more fidelity critical than most pop. EasyCD came with my TEAC CD-W512EB and offers an upgrade that states it will remove ticks. Any experience with this or alternate suggestions given my amateur equipment?

Can someone help me in using this tool as I have version 1.00

I do not find anything happening when clicking on certain actions.

I've the 2nd version of Steinberg Clean. If you want this version you must give me the 1st version on e-mail (giggione_ubaldo@libero.it).
Thank you

If you really wanna do an amazing job at restoration, try algometrix sound laundry, IMO much better than DART. Either way, ya need audio software which accepts DirectX plugins, Sound Forge by sonic foundry, or wavelab by steinberg are probably the best. wavelab includes a plethora of functions on its own to handle audio clean up.

Re: clean out hiss and noise during LP to CD transfer?

Posted by sniffa on Wed, 09/15/1999 - 06:19.

you could try DART (Digital Audio Restauration
Technology) oder Steinbergs' CLEAN. there also
exist numerous plug-ins to do that job.
there are several tools at

A program to mix wav or mp3

Posted by john on Tue, 09/14/1999 - 23:19.

Please help me to find a program to make mixes of wav or mp3 songs.
I want it with pich control and cue botton.

Re: A program to mix wav or mp3

Posted by SPYKE on Wed, 09/15/1999 - 10:17.

Yeah man, virtual turntables will let ya mix wav files, but its a bitch to operate. You want ta do a serious job with it I would suggest SF Acid. (Yeah, he says that without lookin at the 350 dollar price tag! LOL) Depends on ease and features yer lookin for, and what you intend ta do with the final product. But like I said, virtual turntables is, IMO, a TOTAL bitch to operate.

extracting sound from wav

Posted by DJ 303 on Tue, 09/14/1999 - 18:40.

please help .......i need to extract JUST the bassline from a sample. is it possible ???
the sample i have is of a tune that i made when i was first starting to make music.....unfortuantly i have since lost the bass sample and cannot reproduce it, but i do have the mastered copy of this track ..............please if it is possible to extract just the bass, and you know how then i would be very gratefull
if you can help please do.
thanx

Re: extracting sound from wav

Posted by sniffa on Wed, 09/15/1999 - 06:28.

you could try an equalizer to filter out the high
and mid frequencies.
if you're working with soundforge you should get
the NoiseReduction tool to extract the bassline.

you could also check out this site:
http://members.tripod.com/~TroyWoodfield/akai.html
although it's primarily for akai-samplers I think
there was an article about extracting sounds
from samples.

SIBELIUS demo question...(I'm soon to get full version)

Posted by Cazz on Tue, 09/14/1999 - 16:48.

Greetings from a newbie.

I'm very impressed by the comprehensive features in the Sibelius demo I downloaded from Sibelius site.

BUT, I haven't figured out yet how to get the
staves of my choice onto the blank page (A4 or A3)
I am able to open up the demo files and templates
(e.g. big-band chart, etc),and tinker with them, but what I want to see in action is my own custom staves,
for my own instrumentation, or a page full of staves
that one could notate scales and arpeggios, for example, for students.

I only get the blank page(literally) when I start "new" so far.

I hope this question does not sound too ignorant or dumb, we all have to start somewhere!

I'm sure someone here has the answer for me.

Help A Newbie - Sound Cards & Othre Info.

Posted by Cyril, Canada on Tue, 09/14/1999 - 14:15.

Hey Guys !

I'm planning on upgrading/changing the Sound Blaster Card on my Intel based PC,
in order to start the process of digitizing my collection of (analog) Vinyl LP's.

Since I'm pretty much a newbie in the area of computer recording / mastering, I'd
appreciate any help/guidance from you guys with regards to the following ;

1. Which sound card should I buy, and what are the important features to look
for in a sound card

2. Which PC based software should I opt for, that would best suit my needs for
recording and removing of surface noise (i.e. pops, clicks etc.) ? Give me
a few choices please !

3. Would I need to make any other upgrades to the current configuration of my
PC, besides the obvious increase in RAM ? I put together my machine with the
following config. ;

Asus Motherboard
Pentium II 266 Mhz Processor
64 MB RAM (will definately be upgraded)
6.4 GB Western Digital Ultra DMA 33 Hard Disk (IDE)
Philips CD-RW Drive (IDE)

4. Should I connect the Turntable directly to the sound card or would I need to
connect the outputs of my receiver / amplifier to the sound card ?

5. Any other (overlooked) suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks !

Later....Cyril
