Re: Windows XP

Posted by Nigel on Tue, 11/27/2001 - 22:48.

That's a really vague question. Suffice it to say, XP is new and there probably aint many programs written or adapted for it just yet.

: Which software should I use if Windows XP is my operating system?

Re: Windows XP

Posted by Joe on Wed, 11/28/2001 - 19:03.

Are you talking about using 98 software on XP versus 2000 software? If so it really varies some 98 stuff will work while the 2000 won't. A lot of the time both versions will work.

Hi,

I am not sure about .kin, I never heard of it to be honest,
however there's always a way as long as you have
at least a .kin player. What you can do is download
Total Recorder, and have total recorder capture
you playing the .kin file, you can then save what
you recorded as wave. I doubt you'll have any difficulty
converting wave to mp3. Hope that helps...What kind of file is
.kin anyway?

Thanks,
Hish

S/P dif in harddisk recording or scsi?

Posted by Tom on Tue, 11/27/2001 - 18:46.

On my harddiskrecorder I have a lot of tracs (in one song) that I want to transfer to my computer. Then I want to add som VST effects on som tracsk. How can I transfer=move one song from my Harddiskrecorder to PC and still have all my tracs on the song? (one song many wav)

Using S/P dif :
How many tracs can be moved at one time?
Is there a sync problem by using S/p dif?
Is it posible to move all the tracs from my HD to PC using scsi and keep all the tracs?

Depends...

Posted by Steve...R on Wed, 11/28/2001 - 09:02.

You can sometimes transfer via SCSI but that doesn't mean that the HD recorder is going to be able to keep seperate tracks in a bundle that your computer based sequencer is going to understand. In fact, it's very unlikely....

SP/DIF can be looked at in exactly the same way as an analogue input. There is no difference other than the information remains in the digital domain instead of being converted by the HD recorder to analogue, sent down the analogue line and then converted to digital again by the computer...

The best way I know to achieve what you want is to 'Sync' the computer sequencer and the HD recorder using any sync from Midi sync and MTC to SMPTE. I do this succesfully all the time with a Roland VS880, MTC sync'd to a Mac G4 running Logic Audio. You have to do one track at a time (stereo) or you can pan two seperate tracks left and right and do two at a time but I don't recommend it with all systems as cross talk can be an issue...

More information if you like, get back to me....

You may not need to have a software. There are MSA styles you can download from Roland websites around the world.

Which Soundcard?

Posted by soyabean on Tue, 11/27/2001 - 17:03.

I want to record dj mixes to burn cds from.

I need to buy a new soundcard with right & left (RCA type) inputs.

Any advice/recommendations?

Re: Which Soundcard?

Posted by Andy P on Tue, 11/27/2001 - 18:40.

Almost all the "cheap" soundcards use a 3.5mm stereo jack plug for input rather than RCA phono sockets, although the SB Live! Platinum may have them fitted to the drive bay. If you really need RCA connectors, then you'll have to look at the professional soundcards which cost a lot more.

Is there any reason why you can't buy an adapter which will allow you to connect phono plugs to a 3.5mm jack plug?

Pops & Cracks on MP3's recorded from CD's

Posted by Roger Owens on Tue, 11/27/2001 - 14:38.

I understand that MP3 is a lossy converter. Does that mean if I convert a MP3 file to wav, fix the bad spots with my wav editor and convert it back to MP3 again that I will loose quality? Is there an MP3 editor that can edit MP3's directly without converting them to wavs?

Re: Pops & Cracks on MP3's recorded from CD's

Posted by Nigel on Tue, 11/27/2001 - 22:56.

There are editors <a href="http://www.mp3machine.com/cat/EDITORS/">here</a>. If you convert the MP3 to WAV and then 'clean' it and convert back to MP3. You're not going to end up with a dramatic improvement in quality. You would get rid of some of the pops though. Why don't you just try for yourself anyway?

Wav. file conversion for the VS-840

: Is there any way to convert vs4 files (on my zip disk) to wav. files AT my computer (a file conversion program), rather than utilizing the 840's convertor itself?

As you might know, the 840 uses a codec (RDAC) for recorded audio to reduce it in size. It is designed by roland, and they seem to have it patended... At the moment I know that on an 880, in mastering mode, the audio can be loaded into a wave editor like Cool Edit, by reading it as a motorola-coded, RAW wave. In other modes, a convertor is needed. I've found the following url in a forum. It's a program for another roland device, which also uses RDAC. It may be helpful, and maybe with a little programming it can be used to convert those RDAC-files from the VS-840! I certainly hope so... Just check the program:

Sorry I can't help you, even if my name does happen to be Scott. But I'm trying to find out the VERY SAME THING! So that's why I'm slipping this message in sideways. I did find a couple of promising links on the subject - all the the same site, e.g. http://tihlde.org/~timh/download.html -but none of the links work. We shall see...

piano software that shows keys played?

Posted by jeffrey lane on Tue, 11/27/2001 - 03:21.

Hello,

I've seen some beginner keyboards out there that have an LCD display on them that show a small keyboard and the notes you hit show up on that screen corresponding to the note on the keyboard. I wanted to know if there is computer software that would allow you to open up a midi file and watch the midi file being played, lighting up the correct keys on a virtual keyboard image. If there is I would love to find it and pay money for it. I learn more visually than from reading how-to books. Thanks in advance

hey.... pleas read!!

I, too, am looking for such a program. I was thrilled to discovered Midi Piano Teacher recently, but it seems all the links I find to the download are dead ends. Evidently, they are out of business or their site is down. Did you find a program that will show the names of the notes or light up the keys on a keyboard??? And leads you may have will be greatly appreciated.
