Re: i want to fight napster ...

A) Your Greedy
B)Napster is Free, which means you will get little if any $$
C)You'll get shut down, or sued
D)www.mp3.com has the "My MP3" Service.

Re: i want to fight napster ...

yes, i want money, but i am not greedy... napster just got 15 million in VC... are they greedy?? i just want to make a framework, an ENGINE, not exactly like napter, for music stuff.... it is a hot tech, and it is fun stuff .... so if you aren't interested just lay off, anyone else interested.... i dont care if you are 17, lets write some code, have fun and make money!!

Re: i want to fight napster ...

your an idiot arnt you. firstly, the napster programs are simple to code so one person should be able to do it easily. secondly, you cannot make money by stealing other peoples ideas... becuase they have already had them. thirdly if you are strange enough to want to have fun coding do something for gnutella seeing as its nice and opensource. now stop being silly and do something worthwhile.

Re: i want to fight napster ...

Sorry, I'm not trying to slag you off, or your projext, but in my lowly opinion, there's gnutella, napster, mp3.com, etc, and it will just be another same ol', same ol'.. but I might be wrong! By all means good luck, and I hope you come up with something innovative.

Cheers,
Matt

Write it...

If you feel it, do it. (I think that might have been a song of old...) Napster is very popular but has a lot of competition. Don't let that put you off, if you think you can do it, do it...

How to burn cassettes to Hard Drive?

Hi All,
Is there a way I can burn cassettes onto my PC. Moreover in the form of wav or ram formats.
Thanks for the input.
Newsman H.

Re: How to burn cassettes to Hard Drive?

What is needed to do this?

Re: How to burn cassettes to Hard Drive?

Yes,

Use your LINE INPUT on your computer to feed the tape (or any source) into your hard drive. Check your mixer settings to be sure the LINE INPUT is selected in the recording options. The mixer is found in the PROPERTIES of the OPTION menu of the VOLUME control (bottom right of your task bar on the desktop, right click on the speaker icon). You should minimize this window so that you can adjust the levels as needed. Now, you should be ready to record using the SOUND RECORDER (Programs/accessories/entertainment/sound recorder) which comes with Windows 95-98. You should be able to use any sound editor you prefer. Once the program opens you can begin feeding your tape signal. You may have to press the record button on the sound recorder several times before enough record time is displayed on the sound recorder. Once you know that the record time will suffice then you can begin your recording by, again, pressing record on the sound recorder and stop when recording is complete. Next, you must save the file. Now you should be able to open your CD-R application and select the wav file you want to burn. I am not sure of the maximum recording length of sound recorder. One of the best ways to burn LINE SIGNALS to the hard drive would be to use MUSICMATCH JUKEBOX. It has all the record time you need, I know this for sure. If you don't have MMJB, get it.

Re: How to burn cassettes to Hard Drive?

Hi there,

There sure is! If you plug your stereo into the IN port of your soundcard, you can use an audio editor to copy the music as it plays. <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/Cool_Edit_2k/">Cool Edit 2000</a> does a nice job. Plus you might like <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/groovmec_win95/">Groove Mechanic</a> as it helps you increase the quality of your 'dubbed' recordings.

Warm regards
Geoff

Mellotron samples

Hi. Can anyone recommend synth software that has decent Mellotron sounds?

Re: Mellotron samples

: Hi. Can anyone recommend synth software that has decent Mellotron sounds?

The Roland XP-30 (or better) synthesizer & the Roland "Keyboards of the 60s & 70s" expansion board (SR-JV80-08) has Mellotron built in.

If you can run VST intruments, check out the GForce M-Tron, at:

Mellosoftron maybe?
the soft sampler based on the Mellotron

Re: Mellotron samples

: : Hi. Can anyone recommend synth software that has decent Mellotron sounds?

mellosoftron is basically a sampler and a cheesy one at that, not a synth
why not get samples of a mellosoftron and use either a softsampler like unity
or (kinda weak)vienna soundfont or some good sound font to turn a sam[ple into the instrument

Is it possible to save the AudioCd on my harddrive?

You need a CD Ripper. This site is chock-full of 'em.

Re: Help I wanna have the Cher effect

Better yet you could get the software that was actually used. I used to have it, I can't remeber the name though. It was not a "vocoder"

Better yet - use an autotuner such as "Antares Autotune (3)". Set chromatic-style and your off!

Last time I checked, this was a free country, with an economy governed for the most part by supply and demand. So how could the five mega-corporations that own 85 percent of the music we listen to conspire to keep the price of CDs artificially high? Well, that's exactly what happened, according to the FTC, and for fans of online music, it's a revelation whose timing couldn't be better. While Metallica fans fend off lawsuits from their favorite band, consumers everywhere are rising up against the record industry. They're demanding cheaper access to music and using programs such as Napster to download files illegally. But maybe they shouldn't feel too guilty about stealing from the record industry.
