Well, you know...

one of the BEST programs on a mac I have ever used is Sound Sculptor II. It's very nice shareware. You would do well to download it and SoundApp. That way you can convert from AIFF (or elseware) to whatever format you need. SoundApp is freeware.

I really admire the programmer who made Sound Sculptor. It really uses RAM very efficiently and quickly. You can work with large files if you give it enough ram in the Finder.

Sound Sculptor even works with 68K macs.
I have used ProTools, Logic Audio, WaveLab, Sound Forge, Acid, SoundEdit 16, to name a few. But Sound Sculptor is one of my favorites for simple Mac use. You can store it on a floppy disk, my friend.

That is the signature of a stylish programmer.

Well, I don't know any for the software you mentioned, but there's one for Cool Edit : Scifi deluxe.

I would be suprised if they weren't stereo. It's more than likely worth going to their website and checking on the specs for the card you have.

You should try Exact Audio Copy.

it is available from www.ExactAudioCopy.de

It will take you a day to get familiar with it's
hi-tech options, but the genius who created it is
just that, a genius!

Even if you don't want highly accurate CD copies, you can use EAC as a very good sounding CD player which sounds better than Windows Media Player and has a more useful (yet boring) display.

Best of all, you can normalize your tracks to the exact level while you rip from CD to WAVE.

Sure, it's not really what you ordered...
What you really want IS Easy CD Creator.

Easy CD Creator is probably the best 'cause it's
so easy to use and you can control the CDR drive write speed. You can do a test run, and you can rip audio or play CD tracks. You can make mixed mode cds and cd extras and boot disks and data disks.

geez. i mean you can make a cd more advanced than most of the professional cd's in your collection with the cd extra function.

why fix it if it ain't broken?

do all your mastering with your pro audio tools, then burn a quickie with adaptec.

Well, if you must ask for another...
you could try to use Master Unit by steinberg.

That way, if you're addicted to that crappy Windows Media Player SRS Wow bullshit tricksterism, then you can burn it into your tracks. It's a little bit buggy, though. I got sick of mine and trashed it. Master Unit can burn CD's though, and it's primitive EQ is good enough for basic treble boosts and low end mud pieing.

: I need help iv got a DJX2 keyboard and cakewalk pro8 but i dont know any thing really about MIDI Iv got the midi game port adapter and its all pluged in i just dont know how to use the software iv all tryed useing the software for the DJX but that wont work can any one help THX DjJud my email is nesduj@home.com

Sorry but the damn thing isn't a proper MIDI keyboard.The so called Midi function is only for uploading and downloading songs you create on it.I bought one and am well and truly pissed of with Yamaha.

: I have a Roland KR4500. I can save music I play on
: disk and play back on this keyboard. When I attempt
: to play or view music on PC I receive an error message
: that the file format is unrecognized. The file formats
: or RSC(index or title I think) and RSD (music tracks)
: I contacted Roland once about a way of converting to
: Standard MIDI format but had no luck. Does anyone know
: of a conversion software for this format.
: Thanks
ii had the same problem, but the rolad said it is not possible anithing with the pc because the fat of the keyboard drive is different from the fat of pc. When you read the floppy in the pc you immediately distroy the capability of reading the files with the keyboard.
The only way to communicate with the pc is via midi. Have you a simple way to define the communication from kr4500 to a midi port of PC?

Best regards

Yes indeed. Look for 'Hubi's loopback device', it's a FREE program/virtual midi device. Like it says, it installs a virtual midi device that (for instance) can be used as midi output in cakewalk and as midi in for a softsynth or whatever. Great tool!!

Hope it helps

Nero is very buggy if you are using IDE-drivers. I have had several problems with Nero and IDE. If you want to use Nero on IDE-drivers antyway, use it under NT. Try CDR-win instead or rather use CE-quadrat Just burn.

: I need to install an MP3 Codec in order to create MP3 files with Adaptec. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone can share where I might download the required Codec. Thank you.

midi has to be converted to wave format through many programs you find on this site . good luck

: Is there anywhere on the internet that will allow me to download cd+g files for free for the singing machine karaoke player my kids got for christmas?
: Please someone let me know, thanks

if its for your kids and you are in the uk i will run some up for you free of charge .idont no were else you can download them never mind for free but i would be glad to help take care, best whishes graham

On a mac, try Lime. on a PC, i believe there is a freeware version of Finale.

Lime is freeware that is 68K compatible.
Finale is overwhelmingly sophisticated.

Since you are asking us here, you must not be
too interested in doing the hard work.

Then again, you ARE asking about notation, which is a dying art. Even MIDI is a dying art, for god's sake...

therefore, what i would suggest, is if you are really keen on music notation for printing...

you should just use whatever object-oriented drawing programs you can get your hands on.

graphics programs have the best printing options, and if you really know music notation, then it's not hard to cut and paste musical symbols onto musical symbols. then just print the picture.

It sounds crazy, but it allows the most freedom of size, colour, background, staves, text, etc.

you could even use Icons in hyperCard, or musical fonts.

Musical fonts are probably the most economical, cause then you don't have to hand-design your own graphics set.

Graphics programs are real good these days of delivering smooth printing. If you aren't into that, then i suggest you just give up on notation like the bulk of music hobbyists and just rely on overdubbing, editing, and trial and error for composing.

A good piano lesson with a college music teacher is the best notation program i know of...

hack your mind, and you'll never need a keyGen.

p.s.-yes, i am a snob. i learned enough notation to throw it away. Does Trent Reznor or Jack Dangers use notation? i doubt it. Besides, most of the damned planet never relied upon notation to make good music. That's just another myth propagated by unwitting Eurocentrists.
