You seem to need a simple Sequencer
Before you part with any money - try AudioMelody
(blatant self-promotion - but I honestly think its what you want)
http://www.audiomelody.com/
GO to Downloads >> Sequencers
Then I recommend Quartz AudioMaster FREE, Massiva, and Cubasis InWired (in
that order)

: Excuse this newbie question but I have used my Fostex 4 track to record a

: software which does NOT take ages to learn and which is cheap to buy.
: All I want to do is record a track.....then record another track (as I
: listen to the first).....and then add other bits and pieces (harmonica,
: harmonies, banjo etc). At the moment I'm not using a keyboard but hope to

: Any ideas appreciated. Chris

I somehow deleted my HP audio from my add/remove file. Then I proceeded to empty my recycle bin. I need this because I have NO SOUND. Please help me if you can.

: The offending program that causes this message is " Nullsoft waveout plugin
: v2.2"
: I have searched for this program on my PC. I cannot find it anywhere.

this is the the output plugin of winamp. have a look in the preferences.

: I should mention that the website I got these drivers from is called the KX
: foundation but I cannot be sure the problem lies in the software. On further
: reading of the faqs it was revealed that the software should not be
: installed on Win98se lite, (a version of Win98 that makes IE removable),
: which is what I am running.

ie adds some important system files. try installing the ie and reinstall
your soundcard driver afterwards. you can leave ie untouched if you don't
use it, but removing is no good solution. i had no problems with the kx
driver for my audigy.

I know this will be of little help, but.....triggers are just a switch. An
FSR reads pressure as opposed to vibration, and was invented over 13 years
ago. Some artists really like products that utilize FSR.

Check out samples of my music to see how well the snare tracks!
I really do love the sounds in the DMPro!
Good luck.

: Frustration killed the passion!! I am currently using a set of Hart
: Studio's, and my pro snare is giving me fits. Using the dmpro is
: pretty basic, but I can't seem to get a decent sounding kit in live
: situations. My toms and cymbals do fine, but my snare goes nuts.
: What basic settings are being used successfully. All my drums have
: screen heads, tuned high to low, and I still have to beat the crap out
: of the snare. Either double triggering or no triggering during fast
: rolls....Got some tips, I am all ears......

There is a little white rectangle on the left of each track. In there
it picks the record and playback device. I find it always resets these
so that each time I open the project I have to return them to the
playback device I want, otherwise no sound. I'm sure I'm doing
something wrong but I have not figured out how to make the playback
device selection stay put.

: I Just installed samplitude 6.0 , it records fine i just can't get

: I want to buy a reverb but i don´t know wich one is better for dance vocals.
: I need to make the choice between tc electronics or lexicon. Who can give me
: some advice

Hi LAurens

You dont mention which models provided by the two brands are within your
budget but to
answer your question my experience is that the TC gives better perfromance
on hall and plate
settings than equivalently priced lexicon models.

However for sounds scapes and cathderal or canyon like presence you cant
beat LExy
Do well

Up until a couple years ago, I used Cakewalk 3.1 on a PC-386 with 8 MB
of RAM. It worked beautifully. With a $50 DB50XG daughter card, the
sounds weren't half-bad, either. Probably the best bang for the buck
I'll see for a long, long time. -- Richard

: On the internet I read a couple of documents of how to make a
: MIDI-processor out of an old Commodore-64. Does anyone know how to
: make a MIDI-processor out of an "old" PC, with software or something
: like that? (A web-address with the contents is also welcome)

: Thank you,

: I have begin to experiment with MIDI, and have written a little program
: to convert note specifications to MIDI format. I have implemented
: staccato for piano by issuing a "note off" event shortly after the "note
: on". When I play the result with kmidi, the notes do not shut off as
: specified, but continue to resound. The damper pedal is off.

: Is there a trick to turning notes off? Does the piano patch specification
: prevent staccato? Does kmidi have a bug? I'm stuck!

Many instruments are set to have a release time on the envelope,
which makes them sound (dying off with time) after the note off event.

What you might try is a note on at a very low velocity (1 may work
nicely) instead of the note off. That should trigger a new envelope,
at a much lower intensity. Most synths will not let a given note
number sound multiple times at once, so this can get a gating effect
on the sound.

Changing the envelope can work too, but it depends on the synth
design as to whether you can specify that. While most piano synths
cover the sustain pedal (on or off, on = long release, off = short
release time), most don't implement a soft/damper pedal or sostenuto.
You can "fake" a soft/damper pedal using a combination of filter (if
available) and expression, both of which will drop volume, but a sharp
low pass filter will cut out a lot of harmonics in a natural way.
