: Hello all,
: I require ROBUST software that will perform simple editing functions on a *.wav file. I simply want to take one long wave file ( a live concert) and
: be able to edit out sections (talking, applause), then split it into tracks. I have been using ToGo! which does exactly what I want but crashes every time I try to save the edited file as a project. ToGo! simply displays the waveform and you can see the breaks betwen songs and then zoom in on them and play a short section you have zoomed on to see if you do indeed want to edit it out. You can then insert 2 sec silences , then later hit the 'Tracks' button which will
: find the silences and insert tracks there. Is there any ROBUST software that will do all this (and maybe more) and NOT crash after I have spent half an hour editing? Thanks, Bernie.

the best audio ed out there is soundforge by sonic foundry

My personal choice is the Digi001 with Pro Tools LE from <a href="http://www.digidesign.com/">www.digidesign.com</a> You can download a Free 8 track version from <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/ProTools/">Pro Tools Free</a>

Since your after an interface and software I would recomend a trip to a music store and seeing what they have.

: I have an 8 track cassette format recorder (tascam 688)that I really like working with. So far, I haven't found a good way to mix/master the tunes I've recorded.

: I'd like to take the outputs of the recorder (analog) and input them to a pc based mix/mastering pc. I'm good w/ pc's but havent done the digital audio thing yet.

: Any recommendation on a sound card that has 8 inputs? I could live with just 2 if I had to. Software recommendations to mix, master, and then write to both audio CD and MP3?

: Thanks,
: Kevin

: can somw suggest me any software to convert real audio files into .mp3 or .wav files

: can somw suggest me any software to convert real audio files into .mp3 or .wav files

the software you need is AWave by FMJ software it can convert any audio file (wav,aiff,mp3,real audio,)etc. into any other audio file.

It's called 'I'm On Fire' by Bruce Springsteen, on the 'Born In The USA' album.

: some words of the song go like this.."some nights' i wake up with the sheets soaking wet and a freight train running through the middle of my head"..If you know the name could you please tell me by email.. thanking you Darryl

I don't think so. PLJ is copy-protected. Anyone other than the PlayJ people is not allowed to save it as MP3. It would be an illegal act. And that's why you wont see plj --> mp3 software.

: hello is it possible to for the new plj music format file to be converted to mp3

okay, you're gonna need a couple diff programs....use cooledit pro for mixing, its the best, imho....splice up the wave into separate files, however you want it, save them individually....then use adaptec cd creator or something, that has a "disc-at-once" method option of burning...this will eliminate any pause between your tracks on your cd....use acid to chk bpm, but you're gonna have to chop it into 1 single loop exactly, for it to tell you....other good appz you should chk are cubase VST, which is the real professional sht, fruityloops 3, if you like makin beats....(you should insert your own samples with that...) i know this is very quick, and not much info, but i'm at wrk, sorry...good luck.

I had the similar problem but I can't hear from my headphones. CDs just play on the main speaker. I'm at work and don't want to disturb other. I tried the headphone plug in front and it doesn't work. The one in back does work but my headphone cord is too short. I've checked my volume control panel and nothing there improves the situation.

i can get you a copy of reason 1.0 only thing is i tried using it but i can't seem to cue any drum beats etc they all just start at the begining

You're searching for Reason ?

check out the sample cd's at

http://deepsouthent.tripod.com

Yeah I'm looking too. want good vocal sample packs.

: anybody know where a good sample site is, for hiphop samples....?? i'm looking for single note samples i can sequence in FL3?? just out of curiosity, what all tracker/sequencer progs do ya'll prefer?? i love FL3, if you know what you're doin, nothin i found beats it....anything better for hiphop type beats?? Thanks for any feedback.... :o)~~

Fuity Loops is a nice piece of software to get started on. It will do loop based sample music, plus will play virtual synthesisers (or VST's wich are synthesisers that you can load into your computer so you dont need a real synth outside the computer.) Fruity Loops is a good start for someone just starting out. Especially if you are interested in doing Techno. I have experimented with it for my band's industrial music and found it very adiquate. Since I have a lot of gear, I switched to Cakewalk Pro audio and soon am going to SONAR. Cakewalk is one of the best midi sequencers out there. Sonar is the new update to it that comes with a few VST's Cakewalk also does multitrack reccording. It's more designed for serious musicians, but it's a great piece of software if you ever graduate from FruityLoops.

: Hello,

: I found this site searching for the word 'sampler'. That is because i don't know much about making your own music with help of the computer. My wish for quite a while is making my own music, and i find the creative part the most important. (i'm really fond of music like on Moby's album play) I want to do it with the computer because i cannot play many instruments and i'm not in a group.
: How's the best way to get started in this? We do have a keyboard that can be connected to our pc but when i move out i guess i won't have much time to use the keyboard (which stays home:( )
: I'm also interested in combining computer-made music with, for instance, my el. guitar. Or maybe with strange noises as sound effects.
