Audio Onto CDRW?

Posted by Ian Gale on Wed, 09/13/2000 - 08:54.

Hello,

How can I put audio files onto a CDRW. I have formatted the CDRW, using DirectCD, but this means that other software cannot recognise the drive as it is being sed by DirectCD. Dragging a WAV file to the CD doesn't work, as it just stores the WAV file and does not convert it to CDA. Any ideas on how to make an audio CDRW with DirectCD installed??

Thanks
Ian

Re: Audio Onto CDRW?

Posted by stubby on Thu, 09/14/2000 - 11:41.

You SAVE files to the e drive. Direct cd basically turns your cd-r into a big floppy. Use it like one and close it when you're done.

Re: wave file to an mp3

Posted by Mikkel_Vill on Wed, 09/13/2000 - 15:29.

You can try "AltoMP3 Maker", although it is mainly a CD to MP3 tool, but you can encode WAV to MP3 by clicking menu "File->Encoding files", the MP3 options can be set before encoding.

This program looks very cool and is very easy to use. you can find it at http://www.yuansoft.com

Go to Download.com and search for wav-mp3 converter. I found one there once. I don't remember the name of it but there are many. Some of them are freeware. I use a program called AudioCatalyst. It's great, but it's not freeware. I've just started using Magix myself. Plz email me if you can give me some hints. Also I'd love to hear what you can make on it!! E-mail holddogop@hotmail.com.
Peace Out!!

Help: Simple shareware drum machine questions?

Posted by Greg Wilding on Tue, 09/12/2000 - 21:22.

I'm a guitar player in need of a shareware program that
will help me put drum beats together with my original
rock music. Someone recommended this site to me but
the problem is that there are too many programs to
choose from. So could anyone answer the following
questions for me: What is the best sounding shareware
program out there? What shareware program is easiest
to use?

Re: Help: Simple shareware drum machine questions?

Posted by po on Tue, 09/12/2000 - 21:50.

Try Hammerhead... it's completely free, sounds
pretty good and is extremely easy to use.

mp3 samples

Posted by Jason on Tue, 09/12/2000 - 17:17.

Is there a program that will allow me to take samples from mp3's and mix my own beats with??

Editing

Posted by Steve on Tue, 09/12/2000 - 17:47.

There are programs that would allow you to edit WAVE files and save sections etc... they are generally refered to as Audio Editors Converting an MP3 to this format is simple and is invariably done by the Audio editor itself... Check the file area on this board for Audio Editors

That's easy...you gotta convert analog into digital first...If your soundcard has a line-in input..you're set!
1. First, connect your turntable to your home amplifier...
2. your amplifier should have a line-out (looks like a headphone jack)
3. connect the cable to the back of your soundcard
4. record your songs...it converts it to wav.file
5. Wav file to Mp3...at this point you should know what to do...
6. This will also apply to ANY analog-based sources ie. tape, etc...

goodluck

getting mini-disc music on a cd?

Posted by Bryan S. on Tue, 09/12/2000 - 16:58.

Alright, I have a minidisc recorder and I have recorded my personal mix on it via two turntables and a mixer along with my favorite lp's. I want to get the songs from my mini-disc to my computer and then copy those files in cda on a cd. Does anyone have any sugestions or has anyone ever delt with this situation?? Thanks alot! b

MD connections

Posted by Steve on Tue, 09/12/2000 - 17:37.

Most Minidisk recorders provide a digital out. Does your computer have a SP/DIF input? If so, you should do it that way for perfect quality reproduction. If not then you will have to use a lead that runs from the Audio out on the MD recorder to the Audio in on your computer. Have a look for yourself as you are the only one that knows those answers.

Using any software recorder that records the audio input will provide you with a resulting Wave file that you should be able to burn a CD with. There are lots in the file area on this site, take a look...

Cheers

Steve

Thanks Steve...Another Question I have is...???

Posted by Bryan Swann on Tue, 09/12/2000 - 19:55.

Ok, lets say I have the wave file. Now I want to burn it to a cd. When I try to open the wave file in Nero Burning Rom to burn it to a cd, it says that I cannot use that file??? Is there anyway to change a wave file to a cda??? Thanks again, you've been a tremendous help already! Bryan

Sadly...

Posted by Steve on Wed, 09/13/2000 - 00:13.

Sadly, I don't know the answer. I don't know your software and am only used to Adaptec Jam Or Toast on the Macintosh, Adaptec Jam will let burn any audio CD from Wav's/Aif's or MP3's without complaining. I think toast is quite happy with WAV's and AIF's as well. I recommend Adaptec Jam as it has some neat X-fade facilities and is more than simple to use.

Good luck and sorry I couldn't be more helpful...

need samplitude 2496 v5.05 manual

Posted by rasta j. peterson on Tue, 09/12/2000 - 15:46.

im not kidding, i seriuosly lost mine in a fire, im a thankful individual who respects the cost to the idustry when people rip off programs, but im not kidding....its gone
thanks in advance

If you lost it then...

Posted by Steve on Tue, 09/12/2000 - 16:36.

If you've lost it then you should be able to contact the software house and provide them with the original CD which you will obviously have. It has been done before although they will expect you to shell out for the cost of the manual which will more than likely be quite pricey.

Good Luck
