Someone has bothered to spend 'ages' writing FAQ's for a reason and people that ask before they think (can be bothered to think) are asking for it in my book...

Grumpy? Me?

I just wish people would take a few seconds to have a look around before posting a question.
The whole idea of putting the Answers section was to save people from posting questions.

convert mp3 to wav

I have some wav file sin realjukebox but cannot find a way to make them in .wav I tried to download the winamp for a converter but it has this pissy little screen about half a hand wide and deep and no way to maximise it or find a way to play an mp3 does anybody have a free download non shareware product to do the conversion or can someone tell me how to enlarge and use winamp

Different volumes

What software can I use to make all of the songs on the CD have the same volume? Instead of one being real low and one being real high in volume, etc.?

Thanks.

Re: Different volumes

You have to choose "normalise to %96" option where recorder software. So it won't distort in player and also increase the volumes of the tracks at the same which are lower dB values.

Normalising..

Most audio editors (check this sites download area) offer something called "Normalising". This will increase the level of a track to just below digital clipping (distortion to you.. ;0). Do this to all the tracks and the levels should be close enough.

Although this will do you well, if the material you are using has some really sharp mid frequencies to them, they may appear brighter and therefore louder anyway. There is little you can do about this other than employing a series of parametric eq's and a careful ear. You probably wont need to.

won't burn cd all the way

I have tryed everything like disable things and slow speed etc.. but still happens ?
does anyone know of this circumstances let me know thanx

Re: won't burn cd all the way

It happens to me too. It usually happens with .mp3's at 99%. It also happens if the track is 22050khz or mono or not 16 bit or 128kbit. Try converting to a wav file first.

how to get 4 analogue tracks into my G3

Please help me someone. I've made some recordings of a choir using a Fostex X-14. I now have about 20 acapella songs with 4 tracks each and want to get them into my G3 retaining track syncronisation so I can edit and master. Can anyone please advise how to do this? What software ro hardware can do this job? I really need help here. Thanks

Which G3??

I was trying to work out if the Fostex has any midi sync capabilities but it appears it doesn't. If this was the case, you could sync the machine via MTC (midi time code).

The only other way available to you then is to obtain some sort of multitrack program like Cubase or Logic Audio. I have recently posted that Logic Audio FUN was given free on the november 2001 issue or "Computer Music" magazine's front cover CD, This will do eight tracks which may or may not be enough. This will allow editing and mastering with a few Fx as well..

The idea is that you plug the master outputs of the Fostex to the minijack input on the G3 (unless you lucky enough to have an Audio card for better quality although the procedure is the same). Run a multitrack program, Enable a track to record and then select the audio input for that track to the input on your computer/audio card. If you were to start each track in roughly the same place then moving them around after is easy. You can hold down CTRL and move them anywhere you like. Either that, or you can select a track and observe the left most edit box and move a 'delay' amount in real time to line the tracks up perfectly, it's not hard.

Logic Audio AV isn't too expensive and will blow your fostex away with shear facilities and mastering options (as will Logic FUN actually). I still use a Roland VS880 occasionally however, due to it's portable reliability so I can understand your purchase.

Email me if you need further information as I travel away from time to time and may not get the reply to the post for sometime...

You have to use WaveLab, it's great about doing that, you can schedule your batch conversations in it. Steinberg's Software.

Web Site MP3 Device Transfer

Does anyone know of a web site that allows device transfers to an MP3 device from the site??? Email me.

MP3 Device Transfer

: Does anyone know how to transfer a MP3 to a MP3 compatible cd player?

Re: Web Site MP3 Device Transfer

It's not the site that's the problem, it's the software that handles the transfer between PC and MP3 player. Unless that can take the file as it downloads and feed it direct to the player, then it's not possible. Besides, downloading to your hard drive is a lot safer, and you'll have a copy should you need it in the future.

Music software comparison

Is there a website that actually compares Music recording sofware so that consumers can make a better choice. For example, I would like to see a complete comparison of Pro Tools LE, Cubase VST, and Emagic Platnum. Thanks for your help

Re: Music software comparison

It's not the tools but the user of the tools that determins if comes out good or bad. I work with Cubase and love it. I have friends that use Logic Audio and what they are doing sounds great.

rebirth mods...help!

i have a demo-cracked copy of rebirth 2.0.1 and i can't get any downloaded mods to work. the demo didn't create a "mods" folder so i think that the option to open a new mod doesn't recognize where they are or something. anyone have any suggestions?? thanx a lot!

I gots the same problem... it's a pain in the a$$...

You get what you didn't pay for!

This is exactly what some people say when they go on about software pirates. No customer support, buggy software and, of course, you're never sure what you've installed on a machine. Why don't you just purchase the program?

transfer of music fro casette to mp3 and cd

If anyone knows how to take music and voice recordings from casette and use the computer to transfer that to mp3 and burn that to cd's please tell me, it would be greatly appreciated

Re: transfer of music fro casette to mp3 and cd

Use the audio input connection on the back of your sound card (1/8" stereo plug) from your input source like the RCA jacks on the back of your cassette deck labeled output, and a program like Sound Forge or Cool Edit Pro to record the input files in realtime to WAV format. You can pick up an adapter that is a Y-cable that has two RCA jacks on one end and a single stereo mini plug on the other to hook the deck to your computer. You can then use just about any audio ripping program to encode them to MP3 or record directly to CD in CDA format. It is pretty simple just a bit time consuming.

-Drummz-

Re: transfer of music fro casette to mp3 and cd

You stated that you need a program lide Sound Forge or Cool Edit Pro. I have Musicmatch Jukebox and Windows Media Player. Would either one of these work? I went to get Cool Edit Pro and still couldn't tell how it can change cassette music(analog)into CD(digital) music.
What do I look for once in the software?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Pam Rowland

Midi to WAV?

Hey all,

I'm broke now that I've bought a house, but I need a midi to wav converter. Does anyone know of one that is free and that isn't a restricted demo version?

I scored a free copie of Cakewalk Pro Audio and Pro Tools on a Guitar mag and was wondering if they can convert midi to wav too?

Thanx heaps
Dave

Re: Midi to WAV?

Should be able to find one <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/cat/FORMAT_CONVERTERS/">here</a>. Dunno about Cakewalk etc but here's a novel idea - why don't you try the software out for yourself?
