I am putting together a new PC for a home recording studio. I'm going to get the Echo Layla audio interface sound card for it. Should i be using an additional sound card for regular playback, like a soundblaster or something (or recommend something else)? Or can i use Layla as my one and only soundcard? And help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I am connecting my Spd-20 drum pad to my computer. I directly connected my 1/4" wire to the 1/8" in the line in, into the soundcard. I get sound out of my speakers, but Wavestudio isnt able to record any of the music I am playing. I made sure everything is turned up and not muted. What do you think the problem is?? If you have any suggestions I would really appriciate it...

Just tried out a demo version (then bought full version) of a
terrific PC software called PC Drummer. Flexible and easy to use (windows), great sounds, midi, etc.....

Worth a free download at www.pcdrummer.com !!

The tech support is the author of the program, Paul Orszuka.
Has worked with me via email to solve some problems I couldn't figure out.

I need an WAV and AIFF converter! Any options?

where can I get a Qbase music software for windows to order online.

Is there a possibility of getting a manual online?

I am using an Sblive Value. I use Cakewalk Professional 7.0, and I use the built in Cakewalk Soundfont manager. I download a bunch of SFs from a great site that Freeman gave me a while ago. Anyway, I really need to put them in wav files. I dont wanna use Polyhedric's WAVMaker. Anyway, is there anyway that I can render the MIDI's I create (usually just 1 or 2 lines, since I wanna seperate them and mix them down in Cooledit Pro), using custom soundfonts?

Also, is there a way I can convert Reality (www.seersystems.com) Bankset files, which are basically a collection of Soundfonts, into regular soundfonts?

Can anyone direct me to a good site for audio programming. I'm looking for sorce code, algorithms, message boards, ect.
If you know any, please e-mail me.
Thanks..

Does anyone know of a Mac based music notation program that allows copying of selected measures that can be pasted as a PICT into a standard word processing document? I need a program that allows such easy pasting of small musical examples. The ancient program Music Construction Set 2.5, as lame and limited as it was, had that one convenient feature (great for us music educators who have to make up tests!) Is there any all-purpose up-to-date, easy to use notation program that does that same thing?

I can't moniotr the audio coming in via datport on my Imac DV SE. Does anty one have a copy of the OS9 audio update 1.2 before it was yanked? Please send it!

Palm-branded Products
I read about 3Com’s new plan to expand into the accessory market by developing Palm-branded
products. Licensing of Palm software is also in the works. I recall hearing that new software is
being developed to allow devices running Palm OS the ability to synchronize directly with the
server that holds a company's Microsoft Exchange data, or Lotus Notes. Has anyone else heard
anything specific about this? I’d be curious to learn more. As it relates to these electronic devices,
I have recently discovered a new way to shop- buyer pooling. I recommend checking out

Does anyone know of a Windows 95-98 pattern based midi sequencer that allows real-time control of the patterns during playback/performance. For example, I need to line up patterns of a song in: intro, verse 1, chorus 1, verse 2, chorus 2, solo, chorus out, ending. While there are sequencers that will allow you to set that up, I haven't found one where you can cue up patterns in real time or loop a pattern on the fly. For instance if I wanted to jump from chorus 2 back to verse 1, I would like to highlight verse 1 and have it play after chorus 2 finishes.

This is pretty basic performance stuff but none of the major Windows sequencers offers this. And I have asked them all about it.

I have an old DOS program named "Texture" (no longer in print) that does this handily but I'd like to move to a Windows type environement where I can include wav files as well.

Any help out there?
