Re: RE: multitrack recording programs for windows xp

Just email the software authors and see what they say. I'd assume most programs will work OK.

: I would like to know if there are any multitrack recording programs available for download that are compatible with windows xp.

Where can I obtain a copy of the music writing programme Encore 30? Is there an upgraded version? Can I down load it from the net?

Download Program

Looking for a download that will allow me to scan sheet music and it will then replay them with different instrument's so I can record them.

Re: Download Program

Hi there

There are a number of programs that can do this. You'll find them in the <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/win95/NOTATION/">notation</a> section of this site. <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/cgi/rd/musitek3_click/rd.pl/?http://www.musitek.com/demopage.html">SmartScore</a> is pretty good.

help to find "CD player".

Hi there!

I got a tip from a friend about some sort of CD - player that allows you to play the CDs on a very low speed without a lower pitch, or something. This makes it easier to learn a new song, for example. I know its' supposed tobe on this site, but I don't know where to look as I am completely unfamiliar with the terminology:) I'd really apreciate if someone were kind enough to help me!:)

time stretch it on yer pc

that sounds quite amazing and expensive! you can timestretch a track to do the same job i think. applications like cool edit do this and maybe sequencers like acid pro. you should be able to do it with the demo versions so no outlay required.

Turn off DirectCD by using ctrl/alt/delete, then try another burn.
It sounds like the CDR is being taken up by another program.

to jon. output files back onto cd

Jon thank you so much for your help. I have the files in an output folder any idea how i get them back onto cd. I would be so grateful
Sara

Re: to jon. output files back onto cd

great stuff Sara. Now, you want to get tham BACK onto CD?? You just TOOK them from CD! lol i guess it's these song segments. Well you need a CD burner first (like a CDRom drive only built to burn special CDs called CDR's). You can get a burner for £80 uk in PCworld and fit it yourself in place of your CDRom or along side it. V easy to do connect just one cable internally. Then u use a cd burning program which should come with the burner. So long as the files are .wav then the CDR will be readable by #most# cd players but you should check with the one u gonna use before an event etc. If u have a burner already look under the cdburning software section of this site u should find a free program. best of luck - jon

Dp3 Files to Aiff

I am having a hard time finding an affordable program to convert my Digital performer mix files to dp3. I know that the peak program by Bias will do it but all I could get was a 14 day trial version. Any help would be much appreciated.

I cannot get cubase vst 32 to record.

I cannot seem to get cubase vst32 to record anything. What is going on?

Re: I cannot get cubase vst 32 to record.

Are you selecting the input for the track and enabling(?) the track? :)

Re: I cannot get cubase vst 32 to record.

click the little arrow in the bottom left hand of the screen, then highlitht the appropriate track and click the "enable" button which appears on the left hand 'pop-up'--really pops from the side--menu. THEN, if theres no sound, try to toggle the "IN 1R" button which appears ont the same panel on the left.

DID this help?
Im new to all this too.

Re: I cannot get cubase vst 32 to record.

: Are you selecting the input for the track and enabling(?) the track? :)

Actually - I do not have the getting started manual to go by. I think this would help. Does anyone know where to get this?

Re: need help...

Can't help you with N-Track but you could try a couple of things. I don't recommend Compression lightly as it can ruin a dynamic rythmn easily but I do recommend you try some, especially on the bass.

Another thing to try is to double the bass. I don't know how or if you can do it in N-Track but doubling is done by running two of the same tracks slightly offset in the timing side of things. Get a bass track and then copy it to another audio track intact. Delay the bass by maybe 10ms (most sequencers let you offset a track delay) and run it up to around 30ms. Find where it tends to thicken the sound and then pan the two tracks off from each other at maybe 10 to and 10 past 12 (as it were). Experiment with the idea. It's very poplular

adaptec cd creator 4

I need a number to contact someone there. My cd creator is not sending music to burner. I need an explanation on why and how to fix it. I read someone that Mcafee Virus Scan effects the cd creator from working . Is this true? I burned one cd a month ago and it was working fine, now it will only copy 3 songs and then stop.

Hi there :)
What errors do you receive when it coasts (if any)?

Finally, a solution.

A real safe technique is to turn of EVERYTHING you don't truly need for a burnt CD. That means the task scheduler, any taskbar icon programs, any screen savers, any lava lamp programs, any accessory type programs. Also, it helps to get a program like Max Memory (MemMax, or MaxMem ? .EXE) to flush the RAM clean and compress it.

If you are on a mac, there are similar programs to flush the memory clean or flush the processor caches and such.

Also, on a PC there are ways to make sure that .DLL files are flushed out of memory when not in use, but it requires editing your REGISTRY, which is like doing brain surgery to implant a thought.

On a mac, make sure you remove any extra extensions or control panels, or control strip modules.

Every computer I've ever used, runs better with Virtual RAM turned OFF!!!!!

Anyhow, the best place to look for these kinds of tricks is on freeware sites that offer many utility programs such as DAVECENTRAL.com

On a mac, check out some FTP sites such as MIT.edu using FETCH.

There is an overall good technique which is to also UNinstall everything that you don't need, and delete all trouble-causing programs. Make sure that you have a good un-installer such as

JoneSoft Un-Installer JSUI.EXE, i believe. This uninstalls programs,
and cleans up any extra junk in there.

Another good one but a tricky one is RegVac, the Registry Vacuum.
It can do wonders if you experiment with it, but just be very careful, and make backups of your changes.

Microsoft Registry Cleaner is also a simple and harmless one to use.

Then compact your registry with DOS> scanreg/opt/backup in full DOS mode.

Regularly scan your hard drive for errors, to prevent tooth cavities.

Overall, to keep a PC error free by yourself, is to learn how to do all this junk.

So if you DONT want to do this, then try to hang out with really really
geeky and technical guys (or gals, if you can find them) and treat them really really nicely in exchange for their help.

Logic audio useres question

Does anyone here use logic platinum 4.7? I am a pro tools user and I can't figure out how to simply record audio. Urgh. I enabled the track, but as far as anything else goes, I haven't the faintest. Is there anywhere to download the manual?

Re: Logic audio useres question

It's simple. Select your audio input on the audio track (track mixer) itself and then press the record button. At the start of a song, this requires that you specifiy where the audio (all the resulting audio tracks as well) are recorded. You should be able to see the audio meter functioning with any audio input by this stage. If not, then go to the audio preferences and select your audio/soundcard.

TIP: If you start a song, Call it something and save it to a folder of the same name. When you are asked for the audio directory for recording, make sure you select the same folder. If you need to back the song up then all the information for that song is in that folder. Ignore this and lose your audio and song data on your HD...

looking for transistor for car amp made by orion
#0490-0210(9506)

And you think your going to find it here...!

I doubt anyone sells transistors here. Go to a decent semi conductor company like Farnell or R.S. components (Uk only, probably) and give them the part number

HOW TO REALLY GET A RARE PART

You should really just learn how to use a telephone book directory!!!

Then you could find something in your home town!

The internet is cool, but not THAT cool!

If your town doesn't have that much, go to a public library at your
state capitol or a larger town and ask the reference department for
telephone books for your state or other states in your area that you could contact you to mail you the part.

An important article...

I can't resist this link as it reflects the way I personally feel about Music and the massive bloated music industry machine that has taken over almost all musical tradition in favour of financial gain.. Well worth a read...

Re: An important article...

I thought it was a pretty good read. He's on the ball with a lot of his critical observations. But I can't see the industry changing for anything other than more money. Know what I mean? I keep my artistry non-commercial and I don't care if anyone supports me or not. Keeps me happy.

It's had nothing....

...but a good response so I think there are a lot of like minded people out there. I would never have thought that the internet could have made the amount of difference to musical distribution as it has, even in the last couple of years. The music industry needs money and if people aren't buying, they will start sweating.. Hang on, they already have.... !

Re: An important article...

I totally agree with this guys views. I too am sick of todays' so called "groups" that are "packaged", record a cover tune and then become "BIG stars". Thats why I support (by going to thier shows and buying their CDs) any local band that really show some talent.
