It depends on what type of keyboard you want to attach. Some MIDI keyboards connect directly to the soundcard through the joystick port. Others, which only have MIDI ports (five-pin DIN connector) need a proper MIDI interface.

Hello Ronald

I have read the emails you have sent and found some good ideas that might be incorporated into future competitions.

We extended the competition to overcome the problem that some votes weren't counted due to an emergency server re-location, so the competition was extended to make it fairer for everyone.

Some peoples' ISPs sent them to the old server because their ISPs hadn't updated their own DNS server. That was something which was beyond Hitsquad's control. And we thought it would be fair to extend the contest accordingly.

If anything, we are giving you and your fellow entrants a further opportunity to get more votes. Additionally, we are giving you an extended opportunity to promote your music via the world's largest music software site - which receives over a million visitors a month.

All votes for songs will be processed at the end of the competition. If everyone knew the votes throughout, there wouldn't be much excitement left when the winner was announced if everyone already knew who had won - kind of spoils the fun.

The rules of entry - <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/2001/entryform.shtml">http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/2001/entryform.shtml</a> - are specifically designed to allow us to make any changes we deem necessary to ensure the best and fairest possible result.

25. Shareware Music Machine and Hitsquad.com reserves the right to cancel this competition, or amend the rules, at any time.

We do all this for free, no-one pays, there are no entrant fees. We simply do this for fun and to help NEW artists.

I am open to suggestions for future competitions. Please email me if you have any ideas you'd like to put forward.

Warm regards
Geoff Nicholson

: 2 days before the end of the "odyssey" contest--Hitsquad decides to change in "mid-stream" and EXTEND the closing date of the contest. Since the beginning--(May 1st)--EVERYONE knew the contest would conclude on May 31st---now-- just 2 days before the end of this "contest"--Hitsquad decides to extend The deadline to June 8th----------THATS A BUNCH OF BULL !! This is a VERY UNFAIR practice to change the rules in "mid-stream"!! I--as well as MANY others--have been working ourselves to death promoteing this contest-- and ALL knew it was to end on May 31st.....for AN ENTIRE MONTH WE ALL KNEW--and now--- just 2 days before it ends---someone decides-- "Hey--Lets extend the deadline" ?? YOUR creditability is SHOT as a site if your proceed with this----you have done the Artist ( the people who BUY from you)as well as yourselves a GREAT DISERVICE and have literally CHEATED people of their HARD WORK----i am sooo disappointed in what surely will be termed CHEATSQUAD in the future. Musicians Friend Corporate will most certainly be hearing about this---it BAD publicity for THEM----how DARE YOU PEOPLE change the rules---not to mention just 2 days before the conclusion of the supposed "contest" ??----where even the ARTIST themselves have no idea as to how they are proceeding in the voteing. 450 entrants times the HUNDREDS of contacts they each have--will surely make a negitive impact for your site when the news travels around---and believe me--it WILL travel. Creditabilty is EVERYTHING on the internet--and when you conduct yourself otherwise--you lose TRUST---you lost TRUST--you lose traffic--and as an internet site-- you loose traffic-- and you fold.

I agree. Although I have an shareware version and I had a little bug (probably caused by my system) because it would throw out a message 'Illegal Operation' when Alto is working while some other Appl. is on at the same time. But reinstalling helped solve the problem.

: How can I connect & play my MIDI keyboard to/in Cubase?
: How can I import new sounds into Cubase to play with the MIDI keyboard?????

: Please help me as you can see I'm a beginner!!

first need to know what kind of keyboard you have
if your not using a cracked ver of cubase
on your disk is a folder called library
you need to set up a studio module and add the one for your keyboard
you can find others mods at cubase.net
maybe your problem is connection then you need a adapter to your joystivk port to midi cable

: Good Morning

: I would like to know if there is any software that converts *.ram files to *.mp3 or *.wav. If the program is not shareware please let me know where and how to buy it.

: Thanks

: Hi, I sometimes have the problem with Cake that when recording a track (wave), it doesn't replay the midi-drums in time with one pre-recorded audio-track.
: How come?
: Does anyone have the same problem?

: Another problem, less irritating: during recording of an audio-track Cake 'hangs'. It sometimes quits recording the track.
: Familiar?

: : You will always get problems trying to run Pro Audio 8 on a 166 pc. You should either upgrade to a Pentium 2 or use Pro Audio 6 for a better performance. With regard to the timing, set it to take the time from audio; this may help.

Yes. It's as simple as that. Then, get hold of a decent package to record the audio as a WAV file. Then, if you want to save space, convert the WAV file to an MP3.

I use Cool Edit 96 to record sounds to WAV format then CDex to convert WAV to MP3

Hi Trev,

i think that this is not so much a problem with your sequencing software, but with your soundcard and the mixer it uses. First of all, this can only work at all, if your soundcard supports hardware based "Full Duplex" mode, that means, you must have two independent audio channels available. If it does not, i am afraid you have to achieve a new one.If it does, you have to make sure that you are using the analog "line in" when recording and not "stereo mixer in" or "what you hear", or however the Function might be called in your case, that records the signals, that the MPU on your Soundcard emulates.
But again, first of all you should have a look to the user manual of your souncard to find out about the "Duplex mode".
I hope this helps. If not we will have to take a closer look to the specifications of your soundcart.

Good luck, hope to hear from you again,

Klaus
