is there an ACID --> MOD converter?

Posted by kevin on Sun, 03/11/2001 - 20:21.

(NOTE: please respond to me at kevinmeinert@bigfoot.com)

Hi, want to make some MODs and can't stand the clunky interfaces of the programs I could find!

So Im looking at buying a copy of Sonic Foundry ACID Pro 2.0 to make some music with (interface looks real nice!), but I'd still like to output the music in MOD format.

Does anyone know of a plugin or converter that will take ACID's .ACD file format, and output an Amiga MOD format file???

If you can help, I really appreciate it,
Thanks!

asf to mpeg?

Posted by Rob on Sun, 03/11/2001 - 19:07.

Hi there! I have a bunch of asf files that I would
like to play on a vcd player. The program I'm using to
burn them requires that they be mpeg files.
Does anyone know if this is possible and if so, where
I could find it(or what it is called)?
Thanks in advance!

is there a program that removes music but keeps vocals

Posted by Rocky on Sun, 03/11/2001 - 18:59.

I'm trying to find a program that removes muisc, but keeps the vocals. All I can find is vocal re-movers.

Re: is there a program that removes music but keeps vocals

Posted by Rossk on Tue, 03/13/2001 - 14:12.

No. There are prgs that remove vocals, but that's done with a channel mix; The problem is that the vocals are to be mixed in the center of the entire mix. You can try filtering in Cool edit pro, but..

recording audio LP and tapes to computer

Posted by Eric on Sun, 03/11/2001 - 15:41.

Can anyone recommend the best program to record LP, cassette, and R2R audio files to my hard drive for conversion to MP3 or Windows Media File formats and ultimately to audio CD? Thanks.

Re: recording audio LP and tapes to computer

Posted by carly on Mon, 03/12/2001 - 04:17.

Firstly, if you intend to record your analog sources to CD, don't bother encoding them to WMA or MP3; you will only reduce the quality of the audio.

See the <a href="/smm/win95/AUDIO_RECORDING/">Audio Recording</a> category for good downloads for your purposes.

Carly: Thanks for the feedback. Is there truly a noticeable quality degradation after converting an analog source (LP, tape) to WAV, then MP3, then to CD even when using the maximum quality settings? I've read about "CD quality" encoding, but not sure of the output. Secondly, I thought WAV conversion is mandatory in order to transfer an analog source to CD? Thanks for your help.

REcording from Audio Cassette to MP3 file.

Posted by Gunesh Apte on Sun, 03/11/2001 - 14:21.

Hello,

I want to know is it possible to record audio cassette from AV Stereo / music system to computer, using the Line IN of the PC sound card.
I have a PHILIPS Music system with an audio out hole, where I can connect the headphone. Can I connect the Audio out of my music system to LINE IN of sound card using some cable??

Please guide me and help.

Thanks in advance.

Yes you can. Of course the headphones Out does not give you the Hi-Fi quality. And you must experiment with volume knob on your stereo to get right sound level for distortion-free recording.

Posted by Monika on Sun, 03/11/2001 - 12:05.

Hello. I would like to make some personal mixes of songs. I have no idea where to begin. Is there some sort of mechanism that can take apart music? For example, pull the words out of songs or lift up certain instruments? How are mixes done? Must there be the gathering of different recordings of individual instruments/voice, or must those be recreated when mixing. Please respond to gemini_7@swbell.net Thank You!

Hello Nina

Logic Platinum works good on win2000 but your soundcard must be well installed with win2000 drivers. Try to update your drivers.

STEINBERG ILLEGAL OPERATIONS

Posted by Murf on Sun, 03/11/2001 - 08:12.

The program "Master Unit" included with Cubasis VST V1.0 with the installed update does the following when launched:

"This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down." This happens before the program is used at all ... right at launch.

I have tried completely un-installing, re-installing and other technical support options including talking on the phone with a representative. No solutions were found. I was told the problem would be referred to Tech Support in Germany, however there has been no response in months now from them and my inquiries since then regarding this issue have been ignored.

The program "Get It On CD" V1.1 when launched does the following:

A pop up window appears which says, "Please insert your original Get It On CD into your drive". I do that and press "OK" and the same massage persists. I press "OK" two more times and the program closes without further notice except on some occasions the following:

"This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down."

I have tried un-installing all Steinberg applications and clearing any mention of Steinberg from the registry then re-installing the program. I have searched for an update or patch to no avail. I have tried installing the program on a different computer. The problem persists.

Re: Solution for getitonCD

Posted by Florian on Wed, 03/13/2002 - 09:36.

There was a problem from Steinberg: The first 1000 packets with Release 3.0 r1 they sent out, have the paper with product authorization code from release 3.0 sent with.
The only problem is, that there is an music-exhibition in Germany from 13. to 16. march so you will have to wait approx. 20 minutes on the support line. (I had to wait 10 minutes) You should call +49 1805/223 552 and tell them the product auth. key you got on the (red?) paper and then they will immediately send you a new code to your e-mail-adress.

it's just a thought but have you got enough space on your hard-drive?

Re: STEINBERG ILLEGAL OPERATIONS

Posted by Florian on Wed, 03/13/2002 - 07:43.

I have the same problem with getitonCD like you have, so you are not alone with it.
I will try to show it to the vendor, so he should give me a new cd, I hope that it is not a general rollout-bug from steinberg, but I cannot believe that we are the only two people who bought this prog.
I have enough space on my harddisk and I tried it on two different PC's but no result, the program believes that I don't have the original cd although I do.

mp3 to wave to fit on web pages

Posted by Rhonda on Sat, 03/10/2001 - 20:39.

Sorry to bother you. I am trying to change a mp3 into a wave so I can place it onto webpages. I am able to do the mp3 to wave but when I go to place it onto the page it tells me its to large/long. How do I make it fit or so compress. I am lost and very new at this can you please help me. Thaks.....Filly

Re: mp3 to wave to fit on web pages

Posted by carly on Mon, 03/12/2001 - 07:09.

Why do you want it in WAV format? MP3 is a far smaller file size and was designed for the internet. Why not just upload your MP3 so that people can download/listen to that.

New to music recording--need advice

Posted by David on Sat, 03/10/2001 - 15:27.

I intend to use my computer do some recording of vocals and acoustical instruments. I am looking at the Lexington Core2 PCI card as an interface, and Steinberg Cubase VST 5 as my software. I am on a tight budget, and these two items fit the budget. I am not sure if the Core2 is what I want, though--I can't seem to find out much about it. Also, there is a daughter card for it, the Lexington MP-100 Effects Processor card--does one need that, or are the effects available in the software sufficient?

any ideas how to - poetry on CD - Mac?

Software and Microphone...

Posted by Steve...R on Sun, 03/11/2001 - 02:36.

If you are recording a Mono voice then you would be fine with a 2 track Audio Editor. It's a tricky one as something like Bias Peak for the Mac will be quite expensive for what you want to do as it provides many editing features that you will more than likely, never need.

If I were you, I would go for a small sequencing package like Logic AV, Logic FUN or Cubasis. Although these provide Midi capabilities that you may never use, they provide enough audio editing for your purposes and some effects and Eq to bolster your voice. As these types of Audio sequencers provide at least 8 tracks of audio at a time (computer depending, but you'll be alright!) you can overlay some music or sound effects at the same time. I have seen Logic Audio FUN on the front of 'Computer Music' magazine a couple of times I think which is the full working version... It maybe all you need...!

Your G3 should have a line level input in the form of a Stereo Minijack. You could plug anything in there at line level although you will require a microphone pre-amp for the mic, a mixing desk maybe...

TIP: If your poetry if worth recording, then it's worth using a good microphone. Don't spend lots of money on software first unless you have a half decent Condensor Mic on a sturdy stand. The Rode NT2 is recommended from experience as an affordable large diaphragm studio condensor which will capture your voice beautifully... DOn't cheap out on the mic...!!

Regards

Steve...R
