edit mov files

how do you and is there some free software to do it with?

Re: edit mov files

: how do you and is there some free software to do it with?

I haven't used any of these programs myself but we do
have a category for video editing software on this site
at <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/cat/VIDEO_MULTIMEDIA/">http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/cat/VIDEO_MULTIMEDIA/</a>

Most of the programs in the Windows area talk about
AVI files but some of them can probably import MOV
files.

There are also some which are completely free like
<a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/DDClip_Free/">DDClip Free</a>.

Please post back and tell us if you find which ones
can either import or directly edit MOV files.

Cakewalk Home Studio Effects Question

I just purchased a copy of Cakewalk Home Studio 9 and am wondering if I don't get the meaning of "real-time". I can get my amp emulator effect plug-in to kick in AFTER I record my guitar track, but not WHILE I record my guitar track. Shoulden't ther be a way to lay my track down WITH my amp emulator, rather than having to lay a clean guitar track and process the effect after the fact?

i don't believe you can do that in real time. i don't know how your amp emulator works. but there is a program called "pedal effects" that lets you put 8 different effects on an incoming signal. there is like a 22 millisecond delay or sommething like that, but its not so bad. if you could email me with information about the amp emulator (please please please) i could email you with some info about the pedal effects.

Re: Cakewalk Home Studio Effects Question

In my experience, it's not possible to process an incoming signal in realtime.
the closer I've ever seen it's steinberg wavelab, which is extremly fast-responding.

good luck,

If you send an email to <a href="mailto:smm@hitsquad.com">smm@hitsquad.com</a> with

downloading then you will probably get the problem
fixed.

lon and class files

What is .lon or .class files and how do you convert them to mp2 or wav

With a little help from my friends, I re-introduced File Manager to Win98 highlighted the .class file, clicked File tag, clicked rename, took out .cla, put in .mp3, easy!!
Cheers Jarjar, looka!

Re: lon and class files

: What is .lon or .class files and how do you convert them to mp2 or wav

I don't know .lon but.class means it's a
Java Applet and I would be most surprised
if anyone would be able to convert that
into a wav

JJ

Re: lon and class files

many internet account providers won't allow certain kind of files to be stored (i.e. MP3).
smart guys just change the file extension (I've sometimes spotted .class) to fool them.
then they invite you to download and change the extension back (.zip or .mp3, whatever) with a simple 'rename' command.
try it

good luck

garage drum feel

hi,
my names H . im a musician trying to figure out how you get that garage feel in a drum pattern, iread and write music , but cannot seem to get it right, any help ideas contacts would be nice H.

Re: garage drum feel

: hi,

Hi,

I know the problem - it's really hard to get that sound when you're
programming drum patterns. Are you a drummer? - My experience has
been that the best drum programmers are actually drummers however
I became pretty good at it after lots of practice.

To get the best results I use drum samples which are all sampled from
the same kit with a little bit of room reverb but not much - old sound
modules like the Roland D5 or Yamaha TMX are good for this.

Then I program up the drums in Cubase's drum edit view in midi and if I
do use quantize I then go in and manually mix up the beats and the volumes
of each hit a little so it doesn't sound so mechanical.

This takes quite a bit of practice and if really helps if you spend some
time playing on a really drum kit so that you know what types of timing
errors are most common and generally what sounds and patterns are most
likely.

Another trick to getting that garage sound is to not use complex kick
beats - don't use syncopation on the kick drum because many garage
drummers aren't very good at this.

I hope you find this helpful,
Jason.

Please no flames from garage drummers - some are absolutely brilliant
but I am trying to offer help on how to get a lose unpolished sound.

Re: garage drum feel

I'd agree with the previous note except for one thing...I wouldn't use samples with reverb. Put the reverb as an effect. Another fun thing to do is to downsample your samples...make 'em sound less pristine, less well recorded. EQ out some of the bass on the kicks.
Don't do a straight-on quantize...iterative quantize (Cubase) would be at about 50%.
Just my opinion as a wannabe keyboard trash drummer.
Oh, and listen to "Real Power" by Iggy & the Stooges once a day (not the Bowie-overproduced "Raw Power). The drums on that are trashcore unadulterated.

How do I convert audio tapes to mp3?

How do I convert audio tapes in mp3?

Re: How do I convert audio tapes to mp3?

What you will need to do is copy from your tape to the hard drive. It's a simple case of using a simple cable from the OUT of your stereo to the LINE IN of your sound card. Download a <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/win95/AUDIO_EDITORS/">decent audio editor</a> which includes noise reduction to remove any hiss. Then hit play on the stereo and record on the editor. Once you've recorded, use the editor to clean up the recording and then convert to MP3.

<a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/Cool_Edit_2k/">Cool Edit 2000</a> is great for doing this if you have the <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/CE_Audio_Cleanup/">Audio Clean-Up plugin</a>.

MP3S should be outlawed

My Kid is forever coming home with cd's that were made from mp3 files and the source of them is charging at times big money for compilations...I am a musician / composer and I would be damned if someone will ever bootleg my music for resale anyway...BMI-ASCAP ?
What good are these organizations if we can go out and profit on anyones material anyway !

Re: MP3S should be outlawed

Hmm, well this is certainly a sensitive subject lately. Is it bootlegged mp3's, or just an audio cd burned onto a disc? Also, MP3 shouldn't be outlawed, instead of spending millions of dollars in court why doesn't RIAA work with the software companies to come up with a solution. A way to encode these so they can be played with certain software, but not converted, and burnt to disc to be played on an type of standard cd player. Keep it on the computer, and people will still have to pay for a disc for their car or home. I am working with a company right now who is in beta with an encoding process which will play part of the song then scramble the rest until the song itself is registered. Registration can be simply submitting your information to the artist, visiting the artist's site, taking a poll, and more. So this only proves there is more we can do, if the companies and organizations will pull together instead of fighting.

This is the best answer I've heard thus far. As far as the bickering and fighting, at some point they will come to grips and see if they work together they can get paid together.

Just a few points & ideas

1: SDMI - Secure digital music initiative
( www.sdmi.org ) This will enocode CD's so that it can be listened to, but if you tr to compy it, it puts in noise, or makes it unlistenable.
It will be optional for use by artists.

2: As is, MP3 can not be "outlawed". trade of them can be, however, it will NEVER happen, as it's a completely legal form of data distribution, and is not physically/mentally harmful. nor can the use of be tracked. And, as much as I am distressed by Metallica, and the RIAA, to name a few, I honestly believe that their goal is not to outlaw MP3, but only to limit it's use and distribution to fit THEIR plans.. to make money.. more and more and more and more cash... by ripping off the consumer AND the artist.

Yes but SDMI applies to hardware not software so
it's pretty much useless with computers.

Legitimate software like <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/TotalRecorder/">Total Recorder</a> makes SDMI
pretty much redundant from a technical point of view.
