cd burning ?????

is there a way to burn audio onto cd-rw for playing in a home stereo

yes!

Yes Joe that's one of the main reasons for the CD burning technology! What u need is songs in .wav format. If they in mp3 then convert to .wav with 'CDex' a freeware file converter - www.sonicspot.com has it.

Then u need some software designed for the 'burning' job which should have come with your CD Writer? The .wavs are put on a CDR or CDRW in 'CDA' format I believe by the burning software. CDA is readable by the standard CD player.

Need lyric and full fretboard chord diagram software.

I have been unable to find a software program to meet my needs. Most are way too complicated and sophisticated. I don't read notation or tab so all I need is a program that will permit me to type in lyrics and to place above the lyrics guitar chord diagrams. But I would like a program that permitted me to choose not just open position chords, but diagrams of chords anywhere on the fretboard. Is there such a program??? Surely I'm not the only one who would welcome such a tool as it would permit us amateurs a means to construct our own song sheets. Thanks. Doc

help 4 a beginner starting out

i want to be able to produce my own records so that i can mix my own dub plates. would like recommendations on what software i need, where i can get it from. As well as any thing that will help my learning curve. cheers

Hey there.

You sound like you know nothing about music. Get ACID Pro or ACID Dance.

Work with pre-recorded loops in a software environment that automatically pitch- and tempo-matches everything for you. Also lets you record your own vocals.

Huge loop library is available to support software.

www.sonicfoundry.com

what's a 'dub plate'?

Sounds good mate whatever it is! If u wanna go on a steep learning curve of the PC audio production variety I'd highly recommend u check out www.sonicspot.com and try as many as u can of the demos/freeware that look useful. The best advice is to try lots of programs and see what they offer.

If u into dance/dub then try 'FruityLoops' for sure

A+R out there,

My name is Keoki Trask and I am seeking your talents as a label and as management support. I have just released my first CD: "Wandering Tree" which is an electronica / new age CD featuring "The Human Being" recently ranked # 1 New Age song on MP3.com 2 weeks running. The sales of this CD, despite having just been released 4 months ago without any support, have been wonderful, to say the least. I really, however, want to take this into your scope of sales. I will be releasing 2 more CD's towards the end of January which are receiving much anticipation. All I ask of you, is the opportunity of having you listen to this CD "Wandering Tree", and evaluate my potential as one of your talents. At 24 years old I am an audio engineer of 5 years with a degree from Full Sail, and have been a musician for 15. My love is sound design, and so, I incorporate atmospheres and musical panoramic effects. My direction is to become "the next generation of New Age music". Blending in rhythm, atmosphere, synths, and acoustics. Although "Wandering Tree" is strictly an instrumental CD, "The Indigo Moon" ( to be released Jan. 2000) will incorporate acoustic guitar, a flautist, and possibly vocals in the genre of "Dead Can Dance". Let me know if I may take the liberty of sending you "Wandering Tree" in hopes that you will see my potential, once again, in the music market. I will do whatever it takes to make my music a success! Thank you for your time.

PC to Mac Midi Files?

I did a lot of work in Cakewalk and now have converted to a Power Mac using EMagic. I thought the Mac would read the midi files from the PC but it doesn't. Is there any way to access the PC MIDI files and open them in EMagic? Any help or suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.

they should...

There should be no problem reading Midi files on the Mac. Give me more information on where they are (Floppy) what format they are in, etc... Try dragging the midi file itself onto the Quicktime Application icon, that should boot them up as quicktime is a midi player as well. If not then maybe there was a problem with the exporting them from cakewalk. What does the file claim it is when you 'get info' on it? Send me a file and i'll have a look into the problem...

Speak soon

Need software sampler that accepts analog input

Hi, what I'm looking for is a sotware sampler that I can use to take analog input, like audiocassette sounds (for example, vocals, "found sounds" etc.) and digitize these into files that can be used in my Cubase and remixed with Rebirth songs. In other words, I don't want packaged samples, but samples of stuff I'm interested in like particular vocals (some recorded live too) and particular found sounds.

Please let me know which software you have catalogued that might do this. Most of the titles I've found here seem to be already digitized samples and the software descriptions don't mention using an analog input.

Thanks, BobbyG

playing wav files from computer keyboard

I would like to use my standard computer keyboard to play inividual WAV files (short MIDI sounds also OK if WAVs don't work) by hitting different keys or zones. For example, the "L" would play a SHORT crash sound, the "H" would be a baby crying, etc. I have heard of a few shareware stuff out there, but have not found anything. I only need it once a year for Halloween. Thanks in advance for any help.

How do you convert Real Media Files into Wavs?

I was just wondering if there was a way to convert Real Media Files into wavs? Please someone help!

Voice frequency modulator via software?

I have found a "silent sound" voice fm electronic circuit in my travels over the net and am wanting to know if the sound conversion can be done with sound software and if so, how and which program should I look at?

The process is as follows:-

This is a device which takes ordinary human speaking
voice and does two things to it:

- converts it from natural AM (amplitude modulation) to FM
(frequency modulation); this garbles the voice
- raises the average frequency from around 1,500 Hertz, which
is normal, to around 15,000 Hertz.

At 15,000 Hertz, young people with good hearing can hear a
slight "ringing in the ears" from this device, while many adults
hear nothing at all.

A diagram of the process can be found here:- http://www.raven1.net/voicefm.gif

The actual construction notes are here:- http://www.raven1.net/vfmbuild.htm

Instead of having one built I would prefer to do it with my sound card and software but would need instructions on how to achieve this.

Thanks.

Re: Voice frequency modulator via software?

: I need to talk on the internet..calling international numbers etc.
I use the net2phone...however the quality is very poor....what do Ineed to do...voicemodulator software???
I use ADSL....CAN YOU HELP?
IN A SIMPLE LANGUAGE PLEAS.

What Software Do I Need?

I would like to transfer MP3 music to a CD that an
ordinary CD (as in the car) can play. Is there
software available which can do this? Thanks in
advance.

Re: What Software Do I Need?

Hello, To play MP3s on a normal CD player you need to convert the MP3s to WAV then burn to CD. Here's a few programs to check out.

no

mp3 compression format cannot be read from a CD by a standard CD player! You will have to convert from mp3 to .wav then burn this to the CD in CDA format I think. 'CDex' a freeware tool will convert the mp3 for u.

Re: How do you convert mp3's to waves

Use any of the MP3 Decoders in the MP3Machine MP3 Decoder section of this site (www.mp3machine.com)

I use both White Tiger and HPL Mp3 Decoder.

HPL has a batch converter which lets me decode multiple MP3's at once.

Output for Finale scores

I just bought Finale to write classical dance music. What's the best way to output them live with good orchestral sounds? Can I load orchestral sample CDs into my computer and just hook up a sound card and some speakers, or do I need an external controller?

logic audio

I want to get logic audio silver. I have one RCA jack on the back of my computer and 2 usb's. With an external mixer, will this be enough to transmit audio to the software? if not, what else do I need?

Re: logic audio

You have not mentioned the soundcard - I would assume you have one (most computers do these days). A soundcard is all you will need in order to use Logic Silver.
