Recording levels on SBlive

Posted by josh on Sat, 10/14/2000 - 14:57.

Hi, im having problems recording from a line in source to .WAV on my sblive. If i set my source for 0db output, what would be the appropriate Master, Line in, Bass, and Trebble levels to record a cd-burnable .wav. IT seems like i really have to over adjust my input levels till its distorted..

Re: Recording levels on SBlive

Posted by maddas on Sat, 10/14/2000 - 20:32.

Set the mixer level (full)
Bass & Treble (middle)
Use Sblive RECORDER & set the MONITOR On.
Run the wave file once.Enable ARVL(Auto Recording Volume Limiter)to automaticlly keep down the recording level when it exceeds the maximum level.
This prevents Distortions.

Would a synth something similar to jp-8000... or from that price range be enough with fruity loops pro to create a simple trance (like alice deejay) beat which would sell a lot? =) using logic/cubase and my skills wont be a problem... or what other programs would i need? (not going to buy more hardware).

Converting Amiga DMCS to Cakewalk Home Studio 9

Posted by Alan on Sat, 10/14/2000 - 04:57.

I have my Amiga 500 (with Deluxe Music Construction Set) hooked up to my Windows PC, Cakewalk HS 9 is receiving the music but is not receiving time changes/tempo changes so the music is all of whack with the measures.
If I could erase the rests I could at least drag notes to their proper place, all this for being able to add drum beats that are on time.
The Cakewalk tech said I need to upgrade and get CW Pro or something else. I think they just want my money. Does anyone have a free plug in or small program that can read all the changes Amiga/DMCS does and convert it so I can use it in CW HS9?
Any help is appreciated.
GOD bless, Alan

COLLABORATION???

Posted by HARVEY-PROD-UTC on Fri, 10/13/2000 - 23:14.

i am looking to collaborate on a acid based project. my idea is to supply the drum & rhythm and structure the song, and float it out for bass, guitar, vocals to be added and sent back. this is for fun and not commercial, might be interesting to see what develops.

Re: COLLABORATION???

Posted by Lynn on Sat, 10/21/2000 - 14:57.

Have any of you considered joining the Rocket network (www.rocketnetwork.com)?
This is a site of virtual recording studios with software specially designed for music collaboration on the net. It is free to join with a free download of Emagic's Logic Rocket. Not only can you send and receive tracks and updates in real time, but you can also talk to each other in real time via rocket control. There are several public studios, but if you want to collaborate on a private project you can rent your own studio from $30. I'm on there a lot! Its great! I'm currently getting a few people together to collaborate on a rocket users album to release on MP3.com. Join, and you all could be part of it!

: Hawk@@

it is absolutely loaded with difficulties, but i think it will be fun, and who knows.....

i sort of thought of it like a serial novel with each chapter by a different writer - everyone will bring a different perspective to the project but it will be like playing chess by mail - you don't have instant feedback like in the studio and you never meet your "bandmates." plus criticism of your idea is easier to accept from a distance.

as far as the dumpsite goes, please explain how i would create one?? kind of new to this.

You could go to x-drive.com and sign up for an account. Then you e-mail everyone the user name and password so we can all access the files you put there.

There should be an order......you first...then when you got the team you want....place us in order.....sounds really good fun.

WHAT MUSIC STYLE?? WHO WOULD DO WHAT?? WHAT SOFTWARE, I PRESUME YOUR NOT A PROFESSIONAL?? WHAT ABOUT DUMPING ALL FILES TO A UNIVERSAL FREEDRIVE, JUST FOR OUR, WELL WHAT MIGHT BE OUR, GROUP...

i live in waterloo, ontario, canada (1 hr sw of toronto). i am not a professional but i did have a record contract years ago. i learned on analog equipment but i have no time or space or $$$ to build a studio. i discovered acid (the software) and realized that i could do this as a hobby.

my idea is like playing chess by mail - i submit my idea to you, you add what you like, send it on to me or someone else and we work a finished piece until it's satisfactory. we can exchange comments by e-mail, and get a better sense as we go of how it can work, fly by the seat of our pants so to speak.

i have acid pro 2.0 and vegas pro 2.0 as well as cd architect and sound forge. plus others.

i think i understand the freedrive, but how would we go about setting this up?? i am kind of new to this.

i also think some ground rules are kind of interesting - no real names, no gender, no age, just throw your talents and skills into the pool.

as far a music style, i don't care too much, fusion of what you like & what i like & see what happens.

i can e-mail you a very rough mix of a rhythm to build on if you like, .wav file.

let me know.

Re: Sounds kool

Posted by Andrew Vernon on Sat, 10/14/2000 - 22:16.

I suggest you start an acid file, like you said, you do a bit of drum n bass, maybe a melody, and then pass it on to me...

will every1 whos included have acid??

For the freedrive, give us all the username and password, so we can access it. Its like our own shared Hard Drive.

i am using acid pro 2.0 and vegas pro 2.0 mostly. i like vegas for final mixes. i make my own loops, get them online, and pull them from cd's or cassettes if i like them. i will send you a .wav of a rough mix if you like.

open to all musical styles, but i like BIG guitar sounds. i live in waterloo, ontario (sw of toronto about 1 hr.)

i think that who would do what should solve itself - just fire things back and forth and add to it what your strength is. i used to be a professional but now i am a suit so this is a hobby for me. i learned on analog equipment but i don't have the space or $$$ to build a studio.

explain this freedrive thing, how does that work?

a 'sequencer'

Posted by steve on Fri, 10/13/2000 - 19:40.

Basically all u need is a 'sequencer' (a virtual multi track recorder/studio) Butch. There are many around so try the demos available from this site or try www.sonicspot.com for a well presented database/download area. 'Cakewalk Audio 9' is a favourite of guitar based bands I think but they all do just about the same. U also need a soundcard OK? Finally any CD burner u buy will come with appropriate burning software. TIP - for glitch free audio playback on a PC u need plenty or RAM. 64 maybe but 96MB or more is optimal.

steve

Re: a 'sequencer'

Posted by Andrew Vernon on Sat, 10/14/2000 - 08:53.

try sonic foundry's exelent ACID PRO 2.0

you can find it all over the web if you look hard enough. I will be albe to start you off. try www.dw2000.net they might have a free full version that you can use a keygen with.

: If you have a Barnes & Nobles where you live.....go to this bookstore and have them look up manuals for Cubase. Make sure you specify which version you want and they should be able to order it and have it to in about 4 weeks. They might even have the manual in the store. I wasn't so lucky, we had to order ours. Good Luck!
