If you're interested in partial or total self-controlled computer music synthesis there is a guy that made such a computer and for a few million $ it can be yours. More seriously, if you want to try varius samples on varius position within a song, you should make some mark points and manually feed the samples, or load your samples in a sequencer & loop record them. Finally, the best way to just play a sample & hear a song played using it is:
Write (or load) a midi song, load Cubase, use a virtual instrument and associate it with the midi track you like, load your sample to your virtual instrument & hit play...

If the video has a dramatic & continuous chain of events (& it's longer than 10 mins), maby it would be a good idea to use a mixer app with music that follows the viewer's emotions for every clip separately, with a third track (crossfaded with the 1st clip's music) starting some seconds before the end of the clip & ending some secs after the new clip has started (crossfade again). This is a common technique but when used properly makes a nice theme out of different songs.

You should talk about the particular songs with people of your society (looking for what the donators might expect is good but not enough), but I would suggest:
Classical (for the third tracks)
From Mahavishnu Orchestra (Apocalypse - Trident Sessions), Iommi's last year album (fast scenes) to jazz classics like Miles Davis - All Blues.
If you got a lot of time, try synchronizing some of the motion in the video with the music...

That song from Dr Doolittle...
if i could talk with the animals, walk with the animals...

: Hi! I work for a Humane Society and we are putting together a video. We just completed our capital campaign and we are going to show the video during an event to thank all the donors who contributed to the new shelter and show them what we can do in our new shelter. The video will show clips of people and animals using the shelter - adopting an animal, bringing in an injured wild animal, etc. I am looking for ideas for songs to be played in the backgroud while the video is rolling. Any thoughts? Maybe something inspirational or something upbeat possibly animal related but not necessarily. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Smack My Bitch Up! or Bullet In The Head by RATM?

Seriously: How about 'Bright Eyes'by Art Garfunkle?

Go into the volume controls for Windows and then adjust output volume. Also if your tape deck has a record level turn it down to the desired level.

: I have a SoundBlaster Live card. I want to record from the sound out to a tape recorder. But when I tried the output signal is to strong and the tape recorder can't handle it. What can I do?
: Thanks

1000000 FUCK to Guillemot for selling such a bullshit

IMPORTANT: I need any solution to run the MAXI STUDIO ISIS Card under WINDOWS 2000!!!
THANX!

You could use new folders, renaming, or List to see the date you modified the wavs...

<a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/TotalRecorder/">Total Recorder</a> will do the job.

: Please,
: I need convert files *.asf in to *.wav or *.mp3.
: Does anybody help me?
: Tks.

I doubt it's possible as the line in and out on most devices are electronically routed and hardwired to be what they are. I'm not saying it's not possibly full stop... just extremely unlikely...

If you just want four speakers, why don't you get an amplifier that can run more than a stereo set. If you want it for 4 seperate outputs then you will need to look into multi in/out audio interfaces but these may only be addressable as seperate outputs from within a compatible a audio application.

Good luck

Midi "can't" actually be converted as such as it's generally "note information" only. It's used as an instruction to give to midi devices like synths/samplers and drum machines (etc...) so they know what they should be playing.

What you need to do is send the midi information to a midi device that will turn that information into sound that can be recorded, and then burnt to Cd. If the information is of a piano piece for instance, you would need to send it to a synth or soundcard (etc...) with a piano sound selected and then record that audio, understand?

There is no other way of doing it...

Yeah, there's heaps of programs. I would recommend nuendo which is a multi-track recording program. You can open up the song you want to add the vocals to on track 1 and record your vocals on track 2. Then export it as one file to wav or mp3.

If you don't mean ripping off the vocals from a commercial track so you can insert your own then all you need is a simple Multitrack program... Cubase is available as a demo download from this site which would allow you to insert the original music on a stereo track and then add as many mono/stereo tracks as your computer can handle. Doing this at home these days is as common as muck....

Enjoy

www.pcmusic.com will give you a good overview of how to make music on a computer - it's aimed at PC, but lots of general advice and links to other sites ... good luck - and patience :o)
