How much money do you have? I know you want it for free but, it is a present after all... ;"-)

For a singer and guitarist, you would need a decent microphone. Decent enough studio mic's are a ton cheaper than they were even five years ago.

Minimum spec for me would be. An M-Audio Audiophile 2496 audio card (PCI slot required) which comes with some audio and midi (he might not use the midi) software. On top of this you would need a mic preamplifier which is something you can buy as a stand alone or comes in a mixing desk. Minimum for me would be the excellent M-Audio Audiobuddy. Minimum mic for me that can record acoustic guitar AND vocals would be something like the Studio Projects C-1 or the Rode Nt1.

Once you have looked at the price for the above three items, you may wince a little but for what is a budget setup, there is some potential for really good sound quality..

That's my view anyway..

Having upgraded from a 'standard' SB 16 to SB PCI 128, I now have limited sound on FS2002. All sounds were OK prior to the upgrade and I have re-installed FS2002 eight times thinking the fault was there. Please send me an email if you can help.

regardless of the serialz or crackz, you will need lots of RAM.
if you don't have patience to search online for the code, then running reason isn't likely to be fun for you either.
why don't you just focus on the free stuff. besides, propellerheads are pretty good about updating against cracks.

ACID is also good. There's a <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/SonicFoundryAcid/">free version</a>, but I believe you'd have to convert your MP3s to WAV. You could also look at the likes of DJ Table and djDecks which are in the <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/win95/RE-MIXING_DJ/">DJ/Remix section</a> of this site.

: Hi All

: Can anyone recommend a good mixing software package. I would like to be able to mix my MP3's and Wavs and burn my efforts to CD. Is there a good package out there for this purpose ?

it's nice to see another language in use.
if you write in english/german/french/spanish, maybe we can help you?

of course, music itself can be a language, even when there are no words.

cultural differences should not limit the peaceful exchange of peaceful ideas.

common ground can be found between any two or more people willing to respect each other.
essentially, you have us at a disadvantage with your multilingualism.
but there is a saying, "If the truth can be told so as to be understood, it will be believed" (Terence McKenna).

: I'm running Cakewalk 9 on a Toshiba notebook, with a Creative Audio Extigy external sound unit. 'Sound fonts' is greyed out in Cakewalk and although the fonts load on music tracks, I can't ever hear a change in sound on midi track/channel 10. The font seems to load but the sound is always the same. Help!

There are other services similar to Kazaa which let you keep your firewall.
Kazaa is bad news. It's just asking you do disable your security protections, which is a bad idea.
Also, the fact that it is telling you to set a certain port is also bad news. That should all be handled automatically.
Kazaa is making all of this fuss because it's designed
to install viruses and spyware and adware and trojans and bots on your system.
Sharing files is just a side effect. If you really want to download free files, you're gonna have to do more research on
which services are safer, which ones are dangerous (such as Kazaa), and other alternatives, such as USENET, FTP, Freenet, and advanced keyword searches for free software in a web search engine.
75 % of the programs i use i downloaded for free. i admit that i used some cracks for some of them too. i think cracks are a lesser evil. since allowing my computer to become infected by Kazaa (or whatever) would mean that my computer could be remote controlled to launch DDOS attacks against other sites without my knowledge or permission. At least cracks are relatively safe for the end user. Cracks are usually somewhat out of date, so they don't defeat the purpose of shareware. If you want a better version and technical support, you still have to pay for it and register. This is way better than wasting time fussing around with file sharing bullshit. Besides, even if you get it to work, you will become more vulnerable to attacks from all kinds of other softwares that exploit the vulnerabilities of Kazaa. The first thing you should try to learn is how to do better online searches for what you need and don't be afraid to try new things.

Read the manual under 'Bounce' and it will all be obviously clear. Also, when you find out how to bounce the mix, you will be offered all the save options and file types including interleaving and seperated mono files for L + R

: I have subscribed to this service and want to know what software I can use from here to take parts of a song or cd and then place them together to create our cheerleading mix. I have windows 98 and would like to do this as soon as possible
