-> "What is a Vocoder made for & how to use it ?"

Posted by Jammy Low-Pass on Sat, 03/10/2001 - 13:48.

Is there anybody who can explain how to use a software vocoder (e.g. the one in the "Generator 1.57")?
First I thought you can combine two samples by one parameter like the resonance or what ever, but it didn't work. So I may be wrong...
Please help me with that little fuckin' problem.

Re: -> "What is a Vocoder made for & how to use it ?"

Posted by Rossk on Tue, 03/13/2001 - 14:17.

A vocoder has two inputs: a carrier and a modulation input. The modulator, as it says, modulates the carrier waveform. The result is that one input is 'influenced' by the typical frequency components of the other one. Best results with sounds that have a certain amount of noise in them; like snare drums, ...

Transcribing Tools

Posted by nukesul on Sat, 03/10/2001 - 12:20.

What would be a good program(s) for slowing down music, while keeping the same pitch, so that I could work out guitar pieces by ear. I understand there are programs that will change the speed as well as some that are able to extract musical parts. Anybody have any recomondations?

Recording Software for lossless Digital transfer DAT to PC?

Posted by COSTAS on Sat, 03/10/2001 - 09:49.

I record solo guitar to my Panasonic 3800 DAT, and afterwards I transfer the
recording trough digital input to my PC for editing.
I use WAVELAB 3 and I wonder If it matters (concerning just the quality of
the Recording) which software I use (e.g.Cubase ,Logic,Wavelab,Samplitude
,Nuendo,Pro tools etc ) Do they record the same at e.g. 24bit 48.000Hz ?
THANKS COSTAS

Mac composing!!

Posted by Klang on Sat, 03/10/2001 - 01:51.

Anyone know of any decent composers/loop generators that are compatable with Macs?

I want to make 2 step/drum and base tunes

Tried Groovemaker demo but it seems too random and you don't have enough control over the tune!

Tried Virtual Drummer which is the right style but way too simple

I would be extremely greatful for any assistance as I'm getting frustrated!

Thanks Klang

i need an mp3 to cda audio converter

Hi Chris.. There are stacks of little programs out there that will do this.. I assume you want this done so that you can play the Cd's you burn in any ordinary CD Player? Well this is also the same really as converting an MP3 to a WAV file.
CDEX is a good small program that allows you to convert mp3 to wav and vice versa. or goto this link and get something like double click pro..

Re: MTV-music generator/ cd burner

Posted by ether drift on Sat, 03/17/2001 - 04:13.

I have this program too, but removed it from my harddrive, cause it's no good. Do yourself a favor and look into Acid Music ($50) or Acid Pro ($200) by Sonic Foundry, buy a couple of loop CD's and you're in business.

Converting mono mp3 to stereo mp3?

Posted by Ken on Fri, 03/09/2001 - 21:22.

I was wondering if anyone knew how to convert a mono mp3 to a stereo mp3.
I am having trouble burning a live show onto a cd. I keep getting
an error message because the mp3 is in mono and it requires
cd quality mp3's to burn(stereo).

you'll have to convert your mp3 to a wav or your burner wont recognise it. you can then convert your mono wav to a stereo wav. it'll still sound like mono because the left and right channels will be identical. you could always add a 'pseudo stereo' simulation to give your sound a bit of width ect. you can do this in an audio editor like cool edit/sound forge. you'll be able to find a mp3/wav convertor in the software section of this site......

Tell your boyz to SIMMA DOWN !

Posted by Me the Dumb III on Fri, 03/09/2001 - 15:40.

Position mics and amps and cables away from:

Air conditioners
Computer monitors
Speakers
Electric Motors
Fans
Lighting wired with dimmer switches
Broadcasting equipment
AC outlets

Use balanced cable (damn does that ever make a difference: the signal is split and one side is inverted. The cable gains equal amounts of noise, but when the inverted half is re-inverted back to its normal phase POOF half the noise is inverted and cancels with the other side's noise- hooray !)

Tell your boyz to SIMMA DOWN !

Posted by Me the Dumb III on Fri, 03/09/2001 - 15:33.

Thicker cables.
More expensive Pre-Amps. As gain goes up, noise goes up. As money goes up, gain noise goes down. Buy a 2000 mic preamp and you will notice a difference. This is why people record in studios. They have good mic preamps.

Ideal Software-Hardware combination for small Home studio

Posted by Mothafar A Ismiel on Fri, 03/09/2001 - 14:04.

Sirs,
I am seeking help on what to buy from the huge options of soft-hard ware.
I want to start the best home studio I can. Highly professional, however, small and personal studio.
I have:
- YAMAHA Keyboards: PSR 740 & DX7-II
- PIII computer + plenty of memory.
- Medium experiance in music performing & recording. Good computer knowledge.

Do I need mixer hardware?
What combination you recommend and where from? Prices?
Thank you.

Hello !

Posted by Me the Dumb III on Fri, 03/09/2001 - 15:56.

I am running Cubase Vst/24 3.7 producer pac with a direct pro 24/96 and gigasampler.

Given the choice, I would get a different I/O box (one that is GSIF compatible, DirectX compatible, and that has a GM Synth).

ALso, I would get one with more options and less inputs. I would trade 4 Neutrik combo inputs (w/ 48 phantom power) and 4 trs/2rca outputs for two neutrik combo inputs, 6 outputs with Speakon outputs, headphone level jack, higher quality preamps.

I would also get Cubase 5 (my GOD have you seen the features on this thing? Just the Channel Strip blows my mind. Plus all the FX you could need are FREE from the Softsynth and Plugin sections of this site..... you have a hardware controller: so many params are hardware controllable.

As for gigasampler: This thing is so good that it should be worth so much more than 199$US. Free instruments: www.worrasplace.com

Instrument conversion with Chicken Systems Translator: access to soundfonts, emu, akai, kurzweil too?

Get some more harddrive space: I have two 20gigs and a 8gig SCSI (get one of these OR DIE) and it's not enough, especially considering my 3000 song mp3 collection. Get a network card too so that you can store things on another computer (gigasampler supports networked drives) and a burner.

Get some WEbpage software so that you can post your music on the net, or how else will you distribute it all?

GO NOW !
