Re: CD 2 MIDI
: does anyone know how to convert cd music to midi

Unfortunately this insn't really possible with current
technology. For more information on why this is the case
have a look at <ul><li><a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/news/9903_105/">What's the difference between Wave, MIDI, MOD and MP3?</a> <li><a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/news/9903_101/">A quick primer on converting WAV to MIDI and vice versa</a></ul>
BTW CD music is equivalent to WAV.

Best batch converter
I downloaded SoundApp for my Mac G4 to use as a converter. I need to make my Protools files, which are SDII format into .wav for PC files. It worked, but didn't add the extension .wav to the newly converted files. Is there a way to do this with Soundapp or do I need another program?

Re: mixer
Like a graphic EQ ? Or like Sound Blaster volume control?
Sound Forge 5 has a pretty nasty GrphEQ.

Looking for Midi Keyboard Software with Jamming feature
I have a MIDI keyboard which has no voices let alone drummer/rhythm backing facility.
I am looking for something with a number of rhythms, obviously with tempo control and single chord facility.
Is there any free software out there that can emulate this?

Electribe stuff
I have the EA-1, ER-1 and ES-1 and am looking for a way to control them from my computer, I have a cable that connects to my game port with a midi in and a midi out, my problem is what do I need to control this
Re: Electribe stuff
If you've shelled out on three of the four electribe units - why not also get a proper soundcard with proper midi interface and low latency (such as Midiman 24bit 96k)? Normally these cards come with bundled with sequencing software - otherwise you can get cheap shareware sequencing stuff which will work at the level you're at.
A better but more expensive solution would be Cubase or Logic Audio.
If you don't want to get an proper soundcard at least shell out a few quid for a parallel port midi converter. The game port interface is dodgy at the best of times.
Re: Electribe stuff
You will need a midi interface to avoid daisy-chaining the devices and the delay this can cause, you might be able to get by without it but things will be much tighter with one. You will then need some type of MIDI sequencing software. All diferent types are out there.

Try this. Uninstall the program. Go to the Start logo and click on RUN. Type in MSCONFIG. This brings up the System Configuration Utility. Check Selective Startup and then uncheck load startup group items. Click Apply, restart your computer and reinstall Sound Forge. See if the program is working any better. Then go back and recheck the startup group items to make your computer start like it did before changes. Anyway it's worth a try. Let me know if that works. Later
I need software where the electric guitar sounds real, not like
I'm looking for music software where the electric guitar sounds like a real electric guitar, not like an electronic piano or synthesizer ! Any ideas ??????????
Re: I need software where the electric guitar sounds real, not l
Electric guitar is one of the most difficult instruments to sample or imitate. Expensive synths try to combine multitimbrality with several midi controllers to simulate guitar in such extreme ways, that not only you should be a guitarist to make sense out of your performance, but a juggler as well.
The above sequence can be transfered theoretically on a midi editor (imitate volume, pitch & tone characteristics of guitar), and after assigning samples (at least one for each note -guitar has lots of ways to play a single note) and styles, you would have something that would be familiar with what a guitar sounds like.
Learning more about the sound you want to imitate might be usefull too -applying effects like chorus, overdrive, pitch shifters,compressors, and tremolo might improve things. Studying the dynamics of guitarists might also help, but the dynamics of a good guitar player can't be fully utilised by any software program (yet)...
Soundfonts: OK, so I'm a complete idiot
Right, where to start. Firstly, I don't know what I'm doing- this is probably the only thing I'm certain of. What I want to do is get soundfonts onto my computer and I haven't a clue how to do this. Where do you put them? Do you need software to put them where they are supposed to go? I'm sick of drums that sound like paper being hit with a fish. I have a Roland MPU-401 and soundMAX digital audio something-or-other, if this means anything to anyone. PLEASE HELP ME, I'M GOING MENTAL!!! E mail me, if you can- thank you (maybe).
Re: Soundfonts: OK, so I'm a complete idiot
O.k. first things first, The main requirement for using soundfonts is a Soundfont compatible Soundcard. The two that I know about (there may be more) are the Creative labs series of soundcards (of which the Live Platinum is the best) and the EMU Audio Production studio (APS). the SBLive is the cheaper option but is aimed more at Gamers than musicians. The EMU APS has ASIO (Audio Strem Input/Output -I think :->) drivers which are a great benefit if you use Cubase and VST instruments... that is another story!!
O.K. Once you have your card and have loaded the software, you will have an application which loads the Soundfont into memory to make it available to the card for playing. The .SF2 files(Soundfont files) can be placed anywhere on you hard drive as the Soundfont Application will have a "browse" button, to allow you to search for these files.
Once you have loaded your soundfont into memory, using the supplied software, your Soundcards synths will be available in your host sequencer application (Cubase etc... The SB Live Platinum comes with a bundled Cubasis sequencer)and you will then be able to play those sounds from a connected MIDI keyboard.
Hope this helps

exs24 automation...
i have a problem with the automation of the integrated software-sampler: i recorded the cutoff events (on the same audio-track as the exs24 track) but when i play the sequence, the cutoff-knob doesnt responde ..........but an other knob does. when i recorded the events, they are on NUM 89 in the event editor... so does someone know where i can set the recorded events to the corresponding knob??? (or why doesnt the cutoff to recorded events???)
pleeeaaase help me.....

: hi, just wanna ask the code on how to convert .wav file into .mp3 file..

: thanks!!
Well chink (from: 203.177.51.66) converting wav to mp3s is easy.
There are many ways to do this, but the simplest way to do this is as follows:
1: Ok first man, your going to need to open your mp3 in notepad. Open notepad,select files/open then change the tab at the bottem of the menu to "ALL FILES" so you can select the mp3.
2: Now you need to Accumulat the Checksum.
3: Then, the following code must be typed into notepad :
checksum (buf, length, sum32)
char *buf;
int length; /* < 2^18, or carry can overflow */
unsigned int *sum32;
{
/* ints are assumed to be 32 bits */
unsigned short *sbuf;
unsigned int hi, lo, hicarry, locarry;
int len, remain, i;
sbuf = (unsigned short *) buf;
len = 2*(length / 4); /* make sure it's even */
remain = length % 4; /* add odd bytes below */
hi = (*sum32 >> 16);
lo = (*sum32 << 16) >> 16;
for (i=0; i < len; i+=2) {
hi += sbuf[i];
lo += sbuf[i+1];
}
if (remain >= 1) hi += buf[2*len] * 0x100;
if (remain >= 2) hi += buf[2*len+1];
if (remain == 3) lo += buf[2*len+2] * 0x100;
hicarry = hi >> 16; /* fold carry bits in */
locarry = lo >> 16;
while (hicarry || locarry) {
hi = (hi & 0xFFFF) + locarry;
lo = (lo & 0xFFFF) + hicarry;
hicarry = hi >> 16;
locarry = lo >> 16;
}
*sum32 = (hi << 16) + lo;
}
4: ok now all you need to do is type in :
/* remove the permuted FITS byte
* alignment and the ASCII 0 offset
*/
for (i=0; i < 16; i++) {
cbuf[i] = ascii[(i+1)%16];
cbuf[i] -= 0x30;
}
sbuf = (unsigned short *) cbuf;
for (i=0; i < 8; i+=2) {
hi += sbuf[i];
lo += sbuf[i+1];
}
5: Save the file and your set! I hope this helped!

Man, that's fascinating. How do you open Notepad.
Re: Heres the code for converting wav to mp3 ! This is a good qu
the answer is simple use music match
Re: Heres the code for converting wav to mp3 ! This is a good qu
The response by **WILL** was funny but DONT DO IT.
Sorry WILL - some people do need protecting from
themselves.
To Chink - please re-state your question, are you
looking for source code or are you simply looking
for software to convert .wav to .mp3?
