how can i convert to avi format
Hi ,
Can anyone help me in this regard.
I have audio cassettes.I wanted to convert all those to either (.avi) or (.mp3) format.So how can i convert songs in the cassettes to those formats.
Are there any plug-ins for this to happen.
thanks in advance
krishna.
Re: how can i convert to avi format
You would probably prefer mp3...
AVI's take up a lot more space, with very little
improvement in sound quality, if any at all.
get a good WAV recorder or AIFF recorder
from a freeware website, then get a freeware
program to convert from WAV to mp3.
i suggest this, because a good WAV program has
many good functions, while an mp3 encoder usually
just does one thing.
the converter program will also be able to convert
to many other formats, so you will have even more
reasons to do that.
Just let your fingers do the walking.
HELP I NEED SOFTWARE TO CONVERT MY KURZWEIL K2000 SAMPLES TO AIF
I NEED TO CONVERT MY K2000 SAMPLES TO AIFF FORMAT SO I CAN USE THEM INSIDE CUBASE VST (MAC) I DONT HAVE THE SAMPLER ANYMORE SO I CAN'T RE SAVE THEM AS AIFF FORMAT (AS YOU CAN DO WITH THE KURZWEIL) IVE GOT TO FINISH SOME TRACKS FOR A LABEL AND I'M FRYER TUCKED UNLESS I CAN GET SOME SOFTWARE TO CONVERT THESE SAMPLES!

: I NEED TO CONVERT MY K2000 SAMPLES TO AIFF FORMAT
I'm not familiar with the k200 format.. but have you
tried Soundhack?
http://www.soundhack.com/
Unless your samples use some weird data compression,
this should work for you.
1) download soundhack (now freeware!)
2) open your files using "Open Any" in the File Menu.
3) Mess with the Header Change utility until things
sound right.
4) save file
I don't remember if you can save as AIFF in Soundhack,
but if not it will be something like SDII that you
can easily convert with Peak or Soundedit or whatever.
I hope this works for you.
Roland S 760 samples to E-mu format
Does anybody know a way to transfer Roland S760 format sample presets (as opposed to single samples) to a format that an E-mu ESI 2000 could read?
Alternatively, from Roland S&60, to E-mu E6400 Ultra, to ESI 2000?
Appreciate any help.

Protools free problem
During playback, sound gets compressed, or speeded up for a second. This is intermittant - every 10 seconds or so. Gets worse if I use plug in's (mostly delays).
What causes this & how can I correct it?
Thanks.
Jon

recording aduio
Hi Happy new year,
I'm having a problem with my computer recording audio.
I have a computer that I up graded using an ASUS P2L97
440LX mother board with 128 MB of ram 2 10gig hard drive running windows
95 and using Cakewalk and a downlode version of Cooledit.
The problem is, if I record one track of audio 3to5
minutes long every thing is fine.As soon as I start adding
effects my computer start having what I call hiccups and
aduio drop out especialy if I add effects while the song
is playing. And to think I have (2) 233 proccesors in this thing.
I seriously thinking on buying a Dell Computer or one of those systems
put together by one of those company who put to gether computers
for musicians but kind of worried.
Some times I feel like buying 2 adats and forget about
computer hard disk recording.
I have a Roland 880EX that has never fail me yet along with
a Yamaha O1V Mixer and a mini disk recorder and they all
work well.
If there is any one out there who had the same problem I
have trying to record audio please let me know how you
solve your problem.
Thank you
Ken

I'm having the same problem with Protools free and an Athlon 700 processor. I think the problem may have something to do with the sound card. I'm using a cheap ensoniq (sound blaster) card. What do you have?

Rhyming Program for MAC?
yo dudes - just wondered if there was a rhyming program available for macs?
cheers.
must... crossfade... nero... uuhhhn.
Nero Burning Rom has a 'crossfade' feature that allows tracks to overlap, fading into each other... you know?
At least that's what it says in the help files. Damned if I can find it though! I'm not dumb. I've clicked everywhere to find it. What's the deal?

saving mp3 files as data files on cd
If I am trying to create an mp3 cd to play on an mp3
cd player, do I need to save the mp3 files in a data
format as a data disk cd ?
Thanks.
saving data disks on cd
If I am trying to create an mp3 cd to play on an mp3
cd player, do I need to save the mp3 files in a data
format as a data disk cd ?
Thanks.
Why not just try it and see for yourself?
probably yes, i would guess...
and make sure that all files have simple, DOS
names... many keyboards can only import PC
files if they are named like DOS PC files...
i doubt that any CD player is any more sophisticated
than the type of keyboards i am referring to...
except some advanced hybrid players which probably
have enough brainpower to suck the songs right
out of your brain and convert them to HDTV.
of course, i digress,,,
the answer is, i believe, yes.

write disc successful but no music on my cd player
I am having a problem with cd writing successful.. sometimes i get a good copy and another time i come up with nothing, i have a memorex cd writer and cant understand why it only works every third time or so.. i am making alot of coasters.. any help would be appreciated
Re: write disc successful but no music on my cd player
Are you using only CD-R (Recordable) discs? Your stereo CD player will not read CD-RW (Re-Writable) discs.

Re: write disc successful but no music on my cd player
Try slowing down the copy speed one notch. Also, listen to the wave files to be sure there is something there before you burn.

Re: write disc successful but no music on my cd player
If your software is showing a successful write, then you may have a problem with configuration if you have a CD-ROM drive and a CD-RW drive both installed. My CD-RW will not replay a newly made CD for some reason (edit software shows it playing but no sound) but the CD-ROM drive and all CD players play it fine. Try the CD-R in another drive or CD player before you put your beer on it.
Delta 1010
Does anyone have an opinion or review on the Delta 1010
10 in/10 out recording setup? Is the Delta 1010 compatible
with Cakewalk Pro Audio 9?
Thanks,
Gary
Re: Delta 1010
I haven't used the 1010, but i have a Delta Dio 2496.
I also have a multimixer 6 and a flying calf AD.
Overall, i really enjoy and appreciate MIDIMAN.
The only things i hate are that the drivers they
supplied with my 2496 seem to be partially old.
the 2496 can do 24bits, 96kHz, but the driver CD
is confusing enough because it doesn't even really
list the Dio 2496.
Nevertheless it works real well, and i think the
old drivers might actually be compatible with
the new hardware. i think there is some generic
driver use going on.
However, it would be much more reassuring to know
for sure if i am actually recording at 24bits 96kHz
or just being tricked by software which simulates it
enough to be ok.
I also resent the it's all labeled as MIDIMAN
stuff, but all of the tech support seems to be
M-Audio... what the heck?
If you're a company, BE THAT COMPANY...
Again, though, i haven't used the product you
mention,...
and i am extremely happy with all MIDIMAN products
because the work VERY well and MOSTLY do what they say.
They make really tiny stuff, too.
My multimixer, is the best console i've ever used.
it fits in my pocket and doesnt crap on my sound.
i like how my 2496 is ASIO and DIRECTX compatible
real time audio processing
Is there some sort of software available that allows for real time spacial effects to be made to sound coming through a soundcard such as a mic or stereo music. I want to use computer to create a real time reverb of a sound source to create a home theatre effect.
