extract vocals from a wav. thx in advance.
Try these...
It is a very tricky thing for your computer to do but it will give it a go with some of these Karaoke programs. They may walk you someway towards what you want to achieve but are more than likely to find it 'too tricky' and pop into the pub for a beer.

It happened when you installed Winamp and you can fix it when
un-installing Winamp, but then you will not have Winamp to play them.
Re: HOW DID THIS CHANGE HAPPEN
If you go into explorer(not internet explorer),
select view/folder options.
in file types, search for wav, and change teh icon, or else, if it isn't there, select "winamp media file" in there, you will find wav, remove it from that one, and make a new type "wav file type, and select the program you want to use to run it, and the icon you want to use for it.

converting already recorded music to sheet music
Morning
I'm having a problem with finding software that I can use on my MAC
that will take my Celtic DS (such as Fiddler'sBid and Atlan) and convert them into
sheet music....My ear is not good enough to catch the notes from the CD.
BTW I play fiddle and mandolin...
thanks for any help

Re: converting already recorded music to sheet music
Hmmmm, It's sort of not possible at the moment although there are some Apps around these days that I would never have thought possible when I first got into computing. There are some programs that attempt it (for some reason) although with vitually no usable success. Logic Audio on the macintosh is my chosen program for Multitracking and gives the ability to attempt the "WAV to SCORE" operation but I don't bother with it anymore.
Personally, I learn most of the songs I play on the guitar from the Albums themselves although I understand that some of them are harder than they first appear. I would try and get someone else to try and work it out for you. If however the CD tunes that you want to hear are just single violins or whatever, then I would be prepared to try the Logic Audio process on the chance that single instruments are the only chance the programs got of making a half decent job of it.

Re: Is there a FREE way to convert mp3 to CD format so I can mak
Use winamp, it has an MP3 decoder funtion, it will convert MP3's to wav format. you can not convert a wav file to CD format, unless it is being directly burned to a CD, when it is put on CD, it is converted appropriately.

you could try codec it converts mp3 to wav and wave to mp3. if you are going to burn it to a cd, the cd software converts it to red book audio for you.
Dig.Performer/Mac questions ?
What is the "minimum" system requirement (ram) in order to use the built-in audio capabilities of a G3 ? I'm new to the software and can't seem to go beyond the midi capabilities so far. When I try to select the native audio, the program quits unexpectedly with a type 2 error ? I also have the native audio selected in the extensions manager but it doesn't load up when I open the program. I'm thinking I probably don't have enough ram although I thought 32meg would be enough to get at least one track of audio ? Is there something else I'm missing ? Any suggestions ? Thanks

ok dude,i know EXACTLY where you are coming from. are you saying you have 32 MB free with the OS running? cuz the OS is likely to take up most of those 32. A type 2 error is an error relating to a problem involving memory (i think 1-4 or 1-5 means memory problems). your not gonna survive with only 32 MB of ram, and even if you could get one track with it, you could only get one track. mo' memory means mo' tracks. i don't know about the native audio program... you might wanna try an external source connected to your audio input. it seems like you would be able to record a couple of seconds, but i don't know. i would seriously consider getting more RAM (something like 128 MB or more) but if finances are limited then just get as much as you can (but be careful, on some macs you can only put in one RAM upgrade so if you put in a small one then it will be useless when you want to get another one after that). i don't know exactly what your computer is, but i have an ibook and it only allows one upgrade. but check with an expert. if you have any other questions email me, i dont' search this board too often.
Like JarJar said and...
How much memory do you have? are you running any other programs at the same time. It sounds a little bit like you have a corrupt file or something. I get error 2 codes sometimes when something can't be found or the file isn't all together happy.
Usually, I run Norton disk doctor for these things because it often solves these little issues. 'Re-building the desktop' (Hold ALT + OPTION whilst booting) can be as helpful, just incase the files have gotten lost in the file allocation.
Other than that all I can say is I don't know performer and can't really help much further. For you information (although it's a little boring..!) here is the true description of a type 2 Mac error.
ID=02 Address Error
The Motorola 68000 microprocessor can access memory in increments of one byte (8 bits), one word (16 bits), or one long word (32 bits). The microprocessor can access a byte of information at an odd or even memory address. But it must access a word or long word at an even memory address. So, when the microprocessor attempts to read or write a word or long word at an odd address, you see this error. Since that's a 50/50 proposition when running random code, this one shows up quite often.

I'm not really a mac expert but you may try
to assign more memory to the application. You
do this by selecting the app (its icon) and then
go to the file-menu in the finder. Choose
properties and increase the minimum ram needed
to run the app.
Hope that helps

SOS FROM INDIA
Sir;
I had installed Cool Decode v.1.4 which started giving a few problem right in the beginning
and hence i was wanting to UNINSTALL it. But when i went to the Add/Remove
programme and tried to uninstall, it gave me an ERROR stating that the UNINSTALLER
CANNOT FIND THE FOLLOWING .DLL FILES. They are:-
borlndmm.dll and
cp3245mt.dll
Now i'm in a fix. I neither can use the software nor can I uninstall it. Would you be kind
enough to solve this problem for me through my eMail ? I shall be forever obliged.
By the way, installing v.2.0 in the same folder overwriting 1.4....would it make any
difference?
Thanks in anticipation.

Did you try to delte teh files for the program before removing?
also, it should work fine f you installed a newer version over it, however, some programs don't like that, you should check the documentation, it may reccomend removing old versions before installing a newer one.

HOW to add live vocals,guitar to ACID loops???
how does one add live vocals, guitar, keyboard , own loops(non ACID) to ACID PRO/loops? what additional hardware or software is needed?
Re: HOW to add live vocals,guitar to ACID loops???
use the input of your sound card. or if you dont have one use the mic input. just get an adapter to go from the cord out of whatever it is, to your pc input. if you really want to get tricky you can hard wire an input strait to the sound cards aux plug next to the cd plug and have muli-input. it comes in real handy if you want to use more than 1 instrament at a time.
Other programs besides audiocart???
Are there any other programs similar to audiocart out there, I didn't like audiocart, please let me know.

Decent Drum Machine with great sounds for drum 'n' bass
Can anyone help me out with some serious drum machines for drum and bass production. I just can't seem to find one with decent sounds!!
Help...me...please

Re: Decent Drum Machine with great sounds for drum 'n' bass
There's a couple of them floating around here.
You could try Tuareg, which also does all kinds
of remixing and slicing and stuff which is very
usefull for cutting up and mangling your D&B
sounds. It's freeware by the way.
Furthermore you could also give Fruity a try,
though I personally are not particularly fond
of it, and it's kind of expensive if you need
the fullblown version. Another option is
Hammerhead which is also freeware I think.

Re: Decent Drum Machine with great sounds for drum 'n' bass
HI,
Drum Machines Are not really configured for us D'n'B freaks, I us sample CD's Try "Time & Space"
they have a massive selection of samples including
Drum & Bass / Jungle loops they even supply single
hits eg bass, snare & hits.
Most sample CD's even support ".WAV" files
so at least they can be edited to your tast.
Drum Machines are very restricted in editing sound most ive tried you cant edit them.
The answer is!!..... Get a Sampler!!
Yamaha have a small hand held on that also supports Midi...."Yamaha SU 10"
Second hand It cost around £100.
If you need some samples send me an e-mail
ill see what i can sort out
Check out my Web http://www.nde2000.co.uk

New CD Burner, can not make it work
Hi,
I recently purchased and external SCSI Yamaha 8x4x24 CDR/CDW. I got the SCSI card from MIS group at my work for free, it was Adaptec AHA 2940 U / 2940UW PCI SCSI controller. I purchased the cable from local computer store to hook up the burner and went on to rock & roll, but this is where my problem started.
After installing the card and hooking up the burner, I could not get the burner to do anything. After rebooting the computer I was able to see
the burner on the hard drive, but a message stating,Bios not found & SCSI not installed was coming. I think it was due to the fact I did nothave the SCSI card driver (do I need a driver? I have Win 98). I'm able to see the SCSI card info under --> Control Panel - System - Device Manager. I went to Adaptec's web site and down loaded the driver, but when I try to run it, a second window open, which basically says "OPEN WITH" . I really do not know what should I open it with. Any Idea? I can make the CD burner to load in its drive, but when I ask it to record, it does not do anything and stalls my computer. At this point I can not even do ctrl, alt delete. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong? Should I keep the burner or return it for an IDE Burner? I'm using Adpetc's easy CD creator.

Re: New CD Burner, can not make it work
Something to look into:
Write down the location where you have the driver file
downloaded, and go into Device Manager and select your
SCSI adaptor and you should have the option to replace
the driver from there. You might want to move that
driver before you install it, to a folder that won't
get accidentally erased. That driver isn't an
executable file, so it won't do anything on it's own
when you click on it in Explorer.
I have the same SCSI card, also running under Win98,
and have had the same type of problem with my Sony
burner.
When you boot up the machine you will see a command
for going into your SCSI set-up, I think it is either
F1 or F2. Be very careful here, you don't want to muck
anything up inadvertantly, although it sounds like your
burner is the only device attached to your adaptor and
nothing else should be affected. In the setup dialog
you will be able to verify that your burner is active.
I also use EZ CD Creator, and I don't think any
settings in the software could be causing your
problems. If reinstalling the driver and verifying your
SCSI set-up doesn't solve your problem, try using a
different burning software. I have found that they all
seem to respond differently to different drives - I
have to designate my SCSI adaptor every time I try to
use CD Architect, and EZ CD Creator seems to make the
burner act funny with cheaper blank CD's.

Isolating vocals from CD, Possible???????
Hey,
Could anyone tell me if there is a way to isolate the vocals from a CD for the purposes of a Remix.
I know you should be able to tweek with some frequencies but I don't even know where to begin.
Also if there are any plugins that do this please let me know.
thanks, Drew :)
Hey, Karaoke...
There is sort of a way but people don't jump up and down about it once they've tried it a few times because it's such a complicated thing to achieve that it doesn't work very well. Basically, the Karaoke programs attempt to cancel out the centre of the mix on the strength that that is where the vocals are usually mixed. The result is missing vocals, or that's the plan. I'm sure it can be done the other way but I personally got bored of the poor results.
If you look in the massive file section on this website, you will find programs with descriptions that will get you started.
