Depending on the quality you would like to achieve, you have many options. The two that come directly to mind are Audio Active Production Studio ( http://www.audioactive.com ) and Shuffler Music Converter ( http://www.illustrate.org ). The first provides _very_ good quality mp3s, but is _very_ expensive. The second is free and is about 75% of the quality of Production Studio.

Best Beginner software with XP-60

Posted by Bill on Fri, 06/16/2000 - 12:47.

I have an iMac DV, USB Midisport 2x2, and a XP-60, yet I have been unsuccessful with any demo software that I have tried (ex. SoundDiver demo) What is the best beginner software to get me started on being an "electronic musician?" I can play the keyboard better than average in live situations. Want to expand my horizons. Thanks, Bill

Broaden those horizons...

Posted by Steve on Sat, 06/17/2000 - 17:33.

Hello,

If you live in england nip very quickly down to your local WHSmiths and grab, before they go, a copy of 'Computer Music' (Disk 21. June 2000) which has the complete Logic Audio 'Fun' package on the front CD. Although it has things missing compared to the top flight models, it does full audio and midi sequencing and doesn't cost anything. It's generally easy to use and will go very well with you iMac (which may suprise you on the audio side of things!...)

Cheers

Steve...

integrating all aspects of the net into music

Posted by rocket on Fri, 06/16/2000 - 12:19.

I read an interview with one of the guys in a band called The Morgans Project, and he spoke mostly about combining earthy analog ideas and the technology to produce and distribute them. They use as many loops and midi tracks as they do live instrumentation, I think. I checked out some of their tunes at http://www.mp3.com/themorgansproject, and it's hard to even tell what's what.
He had some really good ideas about implementing technology, does anyone know more about these guys?

The Morgan Project.

Posted by Steve on Sat, 06/17/2000 - 17:45.

Sorry, I know nothing about them but thanks for the address. I just had a good listen and it was lo-fi tastic. I prefer when people get away from their computers sometimes and actually produce some music from their mouths and acoustic instruments. Makes a nice change.

Cheers

Chart/ Playlist Maker?

Posted by Todd on Fri, 06/16/2000 - 10:44.

Hey,

I am searching for either a javascript, standalone or CGI interactive charts maker. The idea would be to have a chart of songs where people could download the mp3 or file (listen) and vote for the song with a checkbox or something and then the software updates the chart to sohw top vote getters...any suggestions? Email me if you like...

RE: Yamaha Tone Generators

Posted by Mia on Fri, 06/16/2000 - 03:04.

Does anyone know what the perfect setup is to playback big-band arrangements? (i.e., tone module/generator, expansion boards, etc.) I want to have ALL the voices played back with as realistic quality as possible (not just a solo voice, which I guess a wind controller and Vl70m combination could do...)

Sync two computers

Posted by Mark Jenkins on Fri, 06/16/2000 - 02:45.

I am attempting to sync another computer to start a midi sequence when I start recording in ProTools Digi001. The machines are a new Mac G4 (ProTools=Mater), trying to sync a Mac LC (EZ-Vision=Slave) I have synced my LC before to other systems/programs through the MTC.

The PT ref book says I have to use a USD to accomplish this, but the 001 A/D interface has both midi in/thru.

I also have a MOTU MidiXT. It's user manual says it can send a MTC but has to be started using MMC.

HELP! ! !

Thx, MarkJ

Sample vs MIDI?

Posted by Soleck on Thu, 06/15/2000 - 23:48.

I'm trying to find the best software to lay down indusrial percussion tracks on my PC. I'm going to be sampling my own sounds 99% of the time, editing them with Soundforge, and Cool Edit Pro.

I tried the trial version of ACID and I didn't like it at all. It just seems like it's not very user friendly to someone starting from scratch. I know some people swear by it, but I just can't see myself composing rhythms for serious songs with ACID.

I also tried the demo of Fruity Loops Pro. At first I was really turned off by it because of the techno-plastic-crap-inferior sounding samples they include with the program. It's a lot easier to use than ACID though, and seems more powerful.

I haven't tried any of the MIDI sequencers yet because I need to buy a MIDI cable (I do have a keyboard that's capable of MIDI). What I really need to know is if it's even worth it to get into MIDI. How easy is it to work with your own samples in MIDI?
I don't want something that's going to be frustrating to use. The other factor is: I can't afford more than around $100, so it's going to have to be something like Cubasis, Cakewalk Home Studio, or Micrologic AV. Either that or Fruity Pro which costs about the same.
Opinions?

Re: Sample vs MIDI?

Posted by Stefan Rimaila on Fri, 06/16/2000 - 21:29.

If you wanna try out for fun, try Impulse Tracker. It's a pretty used program for DOS and a really great one too!

It should be at noisemusic.org/it

Notation Software

Posted by Geoff Coulson on Thu, 06/15/2000 - 20:07.

Hi. I am new to computers. But have managed to download a midi file of a piece of piano playing.

Can you suggest any modest software which will transcribe the piece into standard notation, and allow me to print it off ?

I shall be very grateful for any help you can provide.

Posted by Jeanie on Fri, 06/16/2000 - 14:15.

Congrats on your entry to the digital age! To really be of help to you you need to be of help to others.... what instrument do you "make music" on? What sort of a computer are you working with? Are you interested in creating MIDI files (music without words) or something else?

Here's a link to a zipped version of a simple MIDI creation program..... there are MUCH better ones out there!

: Does anyone know of any software I can use on a PC to transpose music cassettes onto cd's to play on normal hi-fi systems

Hello Allan,

Try the following:

<a href="/smm/programs/DartCDRecorder/">Dart CD-Recorder Plus</a> -
Save the music from your LP's, cassettes or CDs

<a href="/smm/programs/PolderbitS_Sound_Recorder_Editor/">PolderbitS Sound Recorder and Editor</a> -
Digitize recordings of music cassettes, LPs or videos

Plus you will need the appropriate cable connections from your stereo to the PC soundcard.
