Re: Help with midi set-up

:I have PROTOOLS Digidesign 001 how do i set my SD-1 to link with PROTOOLS

Re: Help with midi set-up

: I have a soundblaster live and am using its midi port with a split midi in/out adapter. I am running Win98 as my OS. I am trying to get my Ensoniq SD-1 to communicate with Cakewalk 8 but am unable to make the connection no matter what I try. Can anyone give me some hints about the general set up between a midi synth, a SB Live and Win98 (For the moment I am assuming that the physical set up i.e cables etc are ok)? I am at my wits end!
: Thanks
: Mark

Hi!
Before you do anything try this:
1. Check SBlive mixer setup. It can be reached from Creative Launcher (move cursor to the top of the screen). Make sure that SBLive! mixer settings say: 'Composing desktop music' and 'MIDI sequencing'.
2. In Cakewalk go to options or preferences (I am not sure) find MIDI devices and make sure that SBlive MIDI in (on the left) and A:MIDI Synth OUT are hilighted and are on the top of all devices. I don't have cakewalk in front of me so please forgive my spelling.
3. Make sure that your track in Cakewalk is 'armed' and set to MIDI (left click on it and check properties).
4. let me know if it still doesn't work.

Input sound to Mac

OK, so I am new at this, but I need to know what I need to input music, from an album (yes there are still some of these around), to my mac.

I realize that the Mac has built in sound, do I just use the mic input... can't imagine that is the answer.

Do I need to get a secondary sound card?

If I want to convert this music to an Audio CD, how do I do this???

Please email answers, sugestions, etc. to me at Westemm@AOL.com

Autoscore software

I would like to know what autoscore is capable of and what the accompanying sequencer software is like.
The delux has midisoft recording session and the pro calkwalk homestudio 3, can they both print music, lyrics and what about audio recording?
Can anyone help before I spend my hard earned cash?
Thanks.

Re: Autoscore software

Thank you for your interest in Autoscore! Autoscore Deluxe and Professional are complete packages and come with a microphone and a sequencing program. Autoscore will take any single-line of music (no chords) coming in through the microphone and convert it into MIDI. The MIDI data is then sent to the sequencing program where you can edit it, play it back, and print it out. You can record additional tracks on top and hear them all play back either on your soundcard or on an external synthesizer. Both Recording Session and Cakewalk Home Studio allow you to print the music and add a lyrics to a track. Both versions have extermely limited audio capabilities as their purpose is MIDI sequencing. They allow a simple recording (no editing) or you can import an audio file (.wav) into your file. If you have any other questions, please contact us via email or visit our website.

How can I get RA to MP3? How Can I Improve Quality?

Please is there away i can remove hiss and muffled sounds in my live mp3s??? Can I get RA and RAM files converted to MP3's??? Please E-mail me! I need it fast to Make a Bootleg cd! thank you for taking time and reading this!

Re: How can I get RA to MP3? How Can I Improve Quality?

: Please is there away i can remove hiss and muffled sounds in my live mp3s???

You can try converting them to WAVs and then try noise reduction using a program like <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/Cool_Edit_2k/">Cool Edit 2000</a>

:Can I get RA and RAM files converted to MP3's???

Yes. Firstly convert your RA files to WAV files using <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/Ra2Wav_Pentium/">Ra2Wav</a> then convert them to MP3s.

RA2Wav doesnt do any good, because its the demo, is there anothe

I did get RA2WAV, it works, but every 10 seconds on the song it says RA2Wav Demo. That ruins it! is there any other program like that???? Please

"ripper"

Can someone please tell me what a ripper is?

Re: "ripper"

I could be wrong, but as I understand it a "ripper" copies the audio off a CD and converts it to some other format like *.wav or MP3.

: morningstar

That's exacly right - but there are 2 types of rippers: ones which make a digital copy of the audio from CD to hard disk and others which play the audio through the sound card and record it to hard disk - the first one results in better quality and most are written that way these days.

Software for networked CD-RW-Recorder/Player

The USB connectivity of the "family's" SONY CRX100E/X2 was attractive. With the factory-packed software, it looks like mixing/recording etc. our personal music selections will be attractive. Quickly I got it working on my PC.

The family computer, while it doesn't have USB connections, is networked to my machine. The SONY is among the drives that are available on the network. The factory software doesn't look anywhere other than the PC on which it's installed.

Is there software the will allow the family to "burn" their playlist, easily, to the CD-RW on my PC???

SlowGold/CDLooper for Mac????

Anybody know of such a product?

Thanks,

TO EFFJAY DEEJAY!!!!!!

What is a PCM wav? i was wondering because you said to use that format in your message:
http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/wwwboard/messages/26006.html

Can you please tell me how to get it? Thanx a bunch!

: ¥¤Andrew¤¥

I've taken the liberty to answer this question though I'm NOT Effjay (or even a DeeJay for that matter)
A PCM wav. file is the standard wav format used by Windows.
PCM means Pulse Code Modulation, and there's a lot of derived formats around like Microsoft ADPCM, which is a compressed audio format, and mp3 which is even more compressed.

Any decent freeware .wav editors?????

Miracle

Years ago my family bought a program for learning to play the piano that came with a midi keyboard. The program was called Miracle or something of that nature. Right now I'm looking for any information on the program and keyboard I can find. I would love to know where to get another keyboard because mine was destroyed a few days ago in a fit of rage by another family member. I've never seen any other keyboards like this so if you know where I can get ANY information on the brand/program/keyboard or whatever please please email me at spidar@gurlmail.com

: Miracle was bought out by Jump Music. They have converted the technology to todays standards.
They have a similar program called Piano Discovery.
It is much cheaper than the Miracle system was.

soundcard help please

ok... my situation is I need to be able to playback audio
and record audio simultaneously. for instance, I need to
be able to have fruityloops be playing while I have
a wav editor recording it. I know hammerhead had a live
streaming feature...but, fruityloops doesn't seem to...
it's so much better to do live mixing of fruityloop tracks
so you can tweak all the parameters...does anybody know
of a way to be able to record all this tweaking? (aside
from recording to an external source) is there any type
of soundcard that would allow for me to do this? I have
a SB64 now... or, is this just something that can't be
done with fruityloops? thanks

I have the software that burns the mp3s into cda(redbook) automatically as it burns the files to disk, but not for free-sorry, but maybe someone you know will be willing to will buy it and give you a copy, or split the cost?........ Just thought I'd offer. It's $249.95 for the full powerpak edition w/manual
I bought a bunch of these to sell because of the demand, and because no one out there makes a conversion program that's worth a shit for free-I've tried them.

Music composer software

I am looking into a program to help me with praise and worship music. I found a program called "Auto Score professional 2.0 for windows 98. would this be a good program to invest in?

That depends on what you want to do - if you want to be able to create sheet music or midi just by singing, whilstling etc. then this program is perfect for you.
