Hi,

Is it possible to network music software? i.e. have the software server based or must it be installed upon every machine?

Does anyone out there have the Steinberg Voice Machine software? If they do, could they tell me if it will allow me to change the pitch of my voice. I want to deepen my voice but still make it sound natural. I am NOT looking for chipmunk ot robot-like effects. Could I use this software primarily for voice changing (as this is all I need it for) or is it more geared towards harmonizing? Are there any demo versions available of this software?

Where can i download cdg's for no fees?

I have a GEM ws2 and would like to know if I can upgrade or buy some software on floppy disk to add some new and modern styles. Can you please help me ??

software is designed to infect your system and modify it. software is designed to keep you in the dark while spooling loads of profile information to massively cross-referenced databases.

if you haven't yet, take some time to research face recognition online. it won't be long until there is an extensive database (legal or illegal) about every known living human face on the planet. it means that every advertiser and scam artist with a computer system will know who you are, where you live, how you live, and what you do, 24 hours a day, or at least all the time you choose to go out in public and spend money. OK. that's futuristic, but not too futuristic if you take the time to look.

back to the music. just why are you here? what do you seek to gain from this site and any site? do you want to be smarter? more popular? ahead of the curve? yer just a collector? you want to piggyback on another's fame? you want to get famous? what's it all about? well, you'd better start thinking.

this world is very sick. and some of it is certainly represented on the net.
i've had some peculiar run ins online with legal and illegal types. naughty and nice types. sane and crazies. totally exploitative, and a few generous types. I think i've had chatroom conversations with criminals of the worst kind on numerous occasions. Maybe they're just pretending. What a thing to pretend!!

Try to find a free email service that doesn't fake you out just to get your personal information. i don't think they exist. they are all out for something sooner or later. maybe they just want to track your online behaviour for a few years to get to know you rEALLY REALLY WELL. then, they can really dig into your habits/finances/privacy. Maybe after they know you so well it will be a cakewalk just to lift your credit card numbers off you. Maybe it already is?

Meanwhile, some other types find their way to my ISP, my email, my favorite sites, my hard drive. They snoop around, make snide comments and veiled references. they joke around with my privacy and yours. They are witness to the presence of filth and hostility on the net and they do nothing. I'm talking about the weird hacker types who hack and monitor for a living, and have serious IP tracing tools at their disposal at the push of a button. There are some folks online who have dabbled with satellite signals and phone lines. I'm talking about the Big Brother who is watching you, but who doesn't really care what you do, unless you get really dangerous. Even then, who knows? I've heard some really really sick and sadistic stuff online. References to torture and murder. Meanwhile, the FBI or NSA or whomever should be tracking and profiling, they sit on their hands. Where are they? There are people who admit to being child molesters and so forth. Why aren't these sick people apprehended? The same for neo-nazi types.

You could say, "oh, it's just the internet". but is it? Maybe they are serious?
maybe somebody who claims online to be a freak, really is a freak? I'm complaining because I have lost my faith in the powers of good versus the powers of evil as manifested online. not that i actually believe in such abosolutes, but you know what i mean. maybe you don't. try.

the people who should be the most open are the most secretive, and those who risk all in secrecy are often the most giving. the internet is the FLIPSIDE.
I will lay my cards out on the table.

I am a harmless young slacker type living in the u.s. i am a pascifist, and a very socially accommodating person. i respect all types of people. i pretend to be a little wackier than i truly am. it's all in good fun. but i don't know what's going on anymore with a lot of the online types i've met over the last few months or years. there are people just thriving on the desire to do wrong. whether it is the desire to steal artwork or the desire to have some marriage-wrecking affair. it's weird.

there are Stalkers. Yes, they do exist.

Give up your faith in this madness while you have a chance to mold your own leisure addictions.

1) How much time do you waste trying to obtain merely working software?
2) How much time do you waste giving away personal details about your life so that you hopefully have access to a better online experience?
3) How much email do you get that is'nt utter crap, or that has moral, cultural, or educational value?
4) How often do you run across something really offensive online?
5) Have you ever crossed paths with someone dispicable online? (CHAT? IRC? EMAIL? FORUMS? GUESTBOOK?)

6) Have you ever received annoying postal mail for your online persona?
7) In an ideal world, how would the internet be used?
8) Are you an idealist?
9) How long do you think it took for your favorite piece of software to be created?
10) How long do you think it took for your favorite piece of software to become obsolete or exploited?

11) Do computers truly make the world a better place?

12) Who actually runs the internet ?

13) Why would somebody wan't to hack a corporate website?

14) How many albums do you buy are of performers versus musicians?
(do they just yell and dance and act pretty or do they compose, edit, mix, arrange, play instruments, tune instruments, build instruments, repair instruments) Most people on MTV are actors, not musicians.

Somebody tell me what instrument Kid Rock plays. If he does actually play one, maybe harmonica, tell me that's why you bought his album. NOT.

Wake up and realize that the music industry is constantly preying upon African-American culture. They portray black people as pimps, pushers, thieves, prostitutes and gangsters. What's up with that? And why is every vanilla ice white person who copies that getting madd money for emmulating that bullshit?????????????

Run DMC mixed guitars and raps long long ago, and it didn't take Aerosmith to give them the idea.

Urban Dance Squad was way ahead of Rage Against the Machine.
Rage Against the Machine was way ahead of Limp Bizkit and Korn.

How many young neo nazis and pretty boys and nosejobs does it take to exploit the black urban roots of all popular music?

What's my point? EXPLOITATION AND ZERO RESPONSIBILITY.

This is a sick culture we live in. See the early symptoms now, it's only getting worse. Remember what I tell you now. Remember it 5 years from now when you are looking upon whatever the internet and pop society has become. remember how you were an innocent part of it all. and remember how you were a guilty part of it all.

When I say "internet", maybe i confuse you. i refer also to this "information age". It is really a DISINFORMATION AGE.

LOOK FOR THE LIES. but dont turn away from the truth.

devils will tell you truths online, and angels will tell you lies online.

I'm bailing out of this crap. I've tried to dig into it all, over and over again.
I like to come at it all from different angles. I want to appreciate the riches of the computer age in all its forms. BUT I SEE NOTHING BUT DEVASTATION. I SEE THE SAME DEVASTATION AS IN THE REAL WORLD, only watered down, and categorized neatly.

If any of this makes sense to you, whether you believe it or not, it's up to you whether or not you choose to put it into a song or onto a billboard, or into a letter, or into your subconcious.

Consider schleierenkraft/macintor... to be a VST/DirectX plug-in module for your MIND. I want you to question what I am saying. i want you to question everything you read or download or subsribe to online.

NEVER GIVE AWAY YOUR HOME ADDRESS ONLINE. too many people already have it without your permission.

I do not plan on filling in all of the strange gaps and so forth in this post. I don't plan on trying to answer questions or be clearer than this. This is a classic "hear me now, believe me later" kind of Hanz and Franz statement.

This message is part of a continuum of my messages. Those who have been kind enough to follow my posts, realize the flavour of my mindset and beliefs.
If you want to dig a little deeper than just karaoke MP3's, then you need to start expanding your holistic approach to the world wide web.

Linear thought is obsolete online.

OK, preamble:
Fuck KaZaA, and all the other "file sharing communities" which serve only as breeding grounds for viruses/trojan horses/worms/adware/spyware and internet scams. Fuck anybody who claims they are anything other than that. IF YOU DONT KNOW, SHUT THE HELL UP.

First things first: I meant what i said about the vocal distortion and concern about the sniper. Also, I meant what I said about the DDOS attacks and Windows XP. I didn't make this up, and neither did GRC.COM. GRC.COM warned us that there would be some massive DDOS hack attacks. This week's attack are just the beginning. I meant it when I said that I am not a hacker, nor am i a cracker, or phreaker, or criminal or company. I am just a guy.

The internet isn't the fun place i once thought it was. sometime since 1993
it's become a haven for pedophiles, sadists, con artists, embezzlers, auction scams, consumer spying, intellectual braindeath, copyright infringement, artistic exploitation, media hype, and repetition of history's dumber lessons.

when i first got into the internet big time, i wanted to see how far it could go into uncharted digital territory. however, the technology kinda sucks, the social atmosphere is crude, the porn is mean and/or fake or just plain sick. there is some goodness in archaeological research, but nothing is permanent. nothing good online ever lasts. email is a conduit for scams and more bull. nothing is truly anonymous anymore, and no one takes advantage of the cultural benefits of when it was anonymous. nobody seems willing to share anything worthwhile, and nothing worthwhile is available.

a lot of mean people are setting up websites: hategroups, rapists, liars, cheats, thieves, prostitutes, and those corporate giants who refuse to let big enough alone.

take a look at your browser. you may have 25 different flavours of javascript, 5 different flavours of HTML/XML and 365 different flavours of obsolete or soon to be obsolete media formats.

the software is designed to infect your system and modify it. software is designed to keep you in the dark while spooling loads of profile information to massively cross-referenced databases.

Watching the national news about the Maryland sniper got me thinking about this site. As you know, I've been monitoring this site regularly for a long time. I happen to know that very seldomly do people ask about voice disguising or vocal distortion. I enjoy some old Ogre (Skinny Puppy), Frontline Assembly and KMFDM, and nobody does it better than them, so so vocal distortion is something that always catches my eyes and ears.

I am concerned that maybe the sniper came here to ask about how to disguise their voice. It's not impossible. Since no one knows yet who the sniper is, then it could be anybody. And the internet IS anybody. Furthermore, this site usually comes up first in many search engines for audio dsp freeware and advice and well... you know... anything about how to mess around with digital audio on a PC.

Actually, Rimmer and I answered a question recently about vocal distortion.
I am beginning to regret how good an answer I gave. I certainly hope i did not unwittingly aid some malevolent force. Anyhow, I think you should scan your recent archives for queries about vocal distortion. At least check out the most recent ones. Maybe you should consider submitting the IP addresses and/or email addresses to the FBI for analysis. Surely they are swamped with tip offs, but if you notice something particularly odd (even if you DONT) this could be significant. like i said, the sniper could be anybody.

I've seen some VERY strange posts come up on hitsquad, myself. And even the name "HITSQUAD" sounds like a reference to snipers. I'll be that probably helped entice the sniper(s) to post here if they did. Please take my plead seriously. I'm not joking or trying to get attention. As I said, in the years that I've come to hitsquad's message board, seldomly did anybody ever ask about vocal distortion. The recent posts inquiring about it seem a little odd to me. Also, those posters don't often appear on this site with those names.

Please think about this and don't be too skeptical. Lives could be saved if this fluke of an instinct of mine is somehow relevant. My future apologies to anyone who innocently wanted to know how to do vocal distortion. Yes, vocal distortion sounds cool, and not many know how to do it well. I understand that too. I'm not interested in living in a Police State, but I don't want to live in a guerilla sniper crossfire target practice zone either.

Sincerely,

aka, me.

How do I get OMS2.1 in order to try PTfree on my Mac? The program asks for this when opening and will not run without it.

Thanks for any info.

I can not make a round cd label off the sonicstage label maker. No problem with the jewel case label maker. I am not using cd's off the internet. I am trying to make a cd label from the cd finder. The problem seems to be from the select paper menue.

Thanks for the response.
Its a burner.
