I guess you're talking about MP3 to WAV. There are <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/win95/MP3/">heaps of tools</a> which can do this. <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/MP3WAVConverter/">MP3 to WAV</a> is one such program. Just try out a few and stick with the one you like.

: Can anyone tell me how or what tools to use to convert an MPA (mpeg audio) file into a WAV file?

Have you hear of <a href="http://www.neato.com/">Neato's MediaFace</a> software? It helps you design your own Neato compliant labels. I believe it is a free download too.

: I'm looking for new themes & backgrounds for cd's. Easy CD maker and Neato only have a few and I would like to find some different ones that can be downloaded from the Internet (like the places you would find screensavers, and wallpaper). Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there. When you say you want to put down words & chords, you mean record them as audio tracks?
Acid's good .. especially good if you're going to be using drum loops - it can stretch and fit lops (to a degree) to match the tempo of the song.
If you're just recording tracks that you make, eg. guitar & vocals, you can grab a free studio from www.fasoft.com - it's called N-track studio and you comes with unlimited number of audio and midi tracks ... if you want the compressor you have to pay for it .. but I'm sure you can pick one up somewhere - probably on this site somewhere ... (if you like the program please pay!) You can add effects to the tracks, then mix the song down to a single stereo wave, which you can burn to CD with your CD burning software, or make it an MP3 which you can shoot off down the net for the enjoyment and amusement of others. Hope this helps, and good luck ...

: Thanks for the input.

: I'm trying to set up a SB Live Platinum 5.1 card/drive and figure out a way to capture the midi output from MusicTime deluxe. I have the cables to direct connect the output back into the sound card/drive.

: Any suggestions?

: Also, any suggestions on some freeware to edit wav files?

: Thanks.

This advice only works if there are no midi elements in your song. What you need to do is read the section on exporting audio on page 33 the wave file that is created can be burned to CD.

Exporting things isn't always the best way to record the sound you want (and hear), especially when you have a SBLive card, where you can set (in the "Mixer" settings) what you wish to record from. Choose "what you hear" in the drop-down menu. While the un-rendered notations or sequences are being calculated and played for your preview and debugging, you can just hit the record button in any waveform editor (I use Cool Edit Pro, or you could use the editor that comes with the sound card), edit the waveform (cut out the empty segments), and you are ready to save to .wav and burn onto your cd. So, you aren't missing anything unless you don't have the drop-down menu at the top of your desktop for your soundcard enabled.
Also, you may have some setting wrong in the exporting function of Cubasis. Make it a .wav file.
Hope this helps. If I got your problem totally wrong, please correct me.

Hehe... Everyone that comes here knows that there are some tossers about although there are some serious questions that require an answer... I sift through all the messages when I am at home and find enough that I find worth in answering... Look around a bit more...

Hi

I have seen some programs that says it can do that.

Check on this site.
I have found one small prog called Traktor. It has lot of facilities in removing any frequency from a mp3 file.

I saw another prog called "Yogen VocalRemover" I hope I got the name correct.
But I didnt try it out.

Hope this helps.
bye

: I need a full version a rebirth

You can purchase the full version there.

Well, you could convert each mp3 file to wave into a directory in your harddisk.
Write these wave files into the CD. You will get each mp3 in each track.

: I have many albums in single mp3 files ranging from 37meg to 110 meg single files. I have tried to write one to a cd and it writes okay but only as a single track. That is, only one track shows on the play list. Therefore I cannot pick a song in the middle of the cd. I have to wait until I get to it to listen.
: Is there a program that will split a large mp3 file
: into the separate songs or tracks or whatever. That is converts mp3 to wavs or mp3 to separate mp3's etc or whatever.

hi i would like to download some songs.
