Help w/ burnt cd

ok, i have a burnt cd, but i dont like the music on it anymore. is there some way to remove the music so the cd can still be used to burn more songs on it?

Re: Help w/ burnt cd

You can do this if you have a CD-RW. If you have a CD-R, forget it.

Where can I find a free graphic e.q. plug in for pc?

Hello Everyone,
Can anybody tell me where I can find a free or cheap 15 or 31 band graphic E.Q.?
I'm using Logic Platinum V.4.1 on a pc and prefer graphic to parametric. There is no graphic e.q. on my logic program and I need that little bit extra control to get the sound I'm after.
I'm still quite new at using Logic and all this tech. and would appreciate any help or tips.

peace,
Rikki

Re: Where can I find a free graphic e.q. plug in for pc?

A fully parametric Eq gives you a more clinical control than a standard graphic eq.

I would prefer to use a parametric eq and watch a spectrum analysis of the source and effected material... Check out Inspector by Elemental Audio..

Undefined Soundfont Error

Hi my name is Arshak ...
I have a problem.

I have SB Audigy 2 Platinium and I have 1 GB memory. But i can't load more than 150 mb soundfonts either into cakewalk or creative soundfont bank meneger. It just does't let me do it in the Creative SB Bank Meneger and it shows me an error in the cakewalk("Undefined Soundfont error"), but soundfonts are OK. I've tried every one. And I make the soundfont cache as much as I can (943mb).

If there is someone who could help me with this i'll appreciate that. I am working on it about 2 weeks and can't fix it.

Thanks ...

Re: Undefined Soundfont Error

Arshk,

Might as well follow this up. I had the same error in Sonar 3 after creating my own soundfont drum patch in Vienna 2.3

The problem was in the creation of the soundfont itself. Try this in Vienna.

1. Import your samples to the "User Samples" section
2. Create a new instrument pool and assign your samples to it.
3. (the step I forgot), create a new Percussive Pool and assign your created instrument pool to it.
4. Save the soundfont and try to attach it in Cakewalk 9/Sonar/Whatever.

Hope it helps.

David

Digital Performer 4.01 & Reason 2.0

I'm a budding producer with new software (DP4 & Reason 2.0 ). I've been trying to figure out how to sync up these 2 applications & make music ! I want to run DP4 & utilize Reason as a module. Contact me !

Re: Digital Performer 4.01 & Reason 2.0

You've got a couple of options. First, you can create your drum loop, print it to Reason's sequencer (by selecting the ReDrum and the seq. track you want to print to and choosing Edit>Copy pattern to track), set your loop points, and choose File>Export loop as audio file. Then open your DP file, go to your soundbites window and choose import, then pull up the file you exported from Reason. It will pull it up, convert to SDII files, and you can just drop them into your sequence window. When exporting from Reason, you need to make sure you export at the same sampling rate/bit depth as the DP file you're going to drop them into.

A more eloquent method, however, is to use Reason in ReWire mode. To do this, start DP first (this is important!). Now open Reason. Then, create two tracks in DP: one aux track and one stereo audio track. Set the input for both as Reason main 1 and 2. Now create your loops in Reason, and it will sync and play along with DP. You can record the output of Reason on the audio track you made. This method takes more processing power, of course, but it's cool because you can adjust your loops while playing back the DP files, adjust tempo, etc. and get it how you want it before actually recording to disk. You can also record MIDI in DP and send it out to any of the Reason instruments (and vice versa, record your changes in Reason to MIDI tracks in DP) or wire individual Reason instruments to their own separate tracks in DP via the Hardware Interface. This is especially cool because it allows you to use DP plugins on Reason instruments

Hey man. Did you ever figure that out? I found this link on Google typin in that question except for dp4 and reason2.5. I'd appreciate the help.

Strrange noise on certain mp3's of kazaa (lite)

i've been downloading songs of guns and rose and john mayer, but the first few songs have this strange noise on them after about 30sec and they last about 2min what ruins the whole song. Is their anything i can do to get this of or do i have to look for an other mp3 (or choise of music)
Thanks for your help

Re: Strrange noise on certain mp3's of kazaa (lite)

yea, i would belive there are people who corrupt these files...if you look at corrupt songs for instance, you'll see that they have the same user many times, whereas the working songs dont.

CORRUPTED MP3'S

As im sure most of you know about the corrupted mp3's that have spread around.
It seems that most of the new/popular songs have been corrupted and seeded. Youll notice that the first 20 seconds or so of a song will sound fine, then get garbled into a screetchy sound.

This is a powerful blow from the RIAA/Record company's or whomever these corrupted files originated from. you gotta give these guys props for their effort. heh. I read if you rename one of these files to a .txt file you can see where it is corrupt. scroll down and youll see ABCDEFGLSK12323598 or something similar.

They have taken advantage of the multiple scources function of your p2p program.
They seed 1 corrupt file somewhere that is identicle to a good file. The p2p program think's its the same exact file. So you find a file/song that 10 people are sharing. 9 of the files/songs are good and that 1 file is corrupt. Well the p2p program downloads chunks from all 10 file's including the corrupted chunks. Thats why youll hear the screetchy sounds in different parts of the song.

This is only a speedbump and there are Steps in which you can take to get around this until someone developes a plugin or something to filter these corrupted files out.

Listen completely to your mp3's and delete any garbage songs. This wil minimize the spread of these corrupted files.
Also... limit the number of simultaneous downloads to 2 or so to minimize the chances of you getting part of these few corrupted files. If you dont limit the number of simultaneous downloads, your more than likely to get a hefty chunk of garbage in your song. Good luck fellaz!

What seems to be happening is that the record companies are signing on to Kazaa and then sharing corrupted versions of the file in massive numbers in order to discourage people from downloading music. There are actually a couple of techniques you can try that will help you find a "clean" version of the song:

1. Try searching for .wma versions of the file. The companies don't seem to share them in that format, but individual users who use Windows Media Player to copy their CDs do. Unfortunately, these files will be hard to find and download, but they ARE real.

2. Beware high bandwidth downloads. It's unlikely that users--even with access to dsl and or cable modems--would have that much bandwidth. Also any file that has an excessive amount of users should be avoided.

3. Properly labeled files are suspect. In my experience, the files of real users tend to be labeled in idiosyncratic ways. Artist names or album song titles can be misspelled or absent. But the fakes songs are ALWAYS include the artist name, album, and song title. Sometimes there will be all lower case letters or an 0, but those are there just to throw you are.

Basically, you just have to be persistent and patient to get the files you want. I hope this helps.

Re: Strrange noise on certain mp3's of kazaa (lite)

its not just kazaa lite. ive got the newest version, and i keep getting it too. ive only had this problem a few times. just now i was looking for grave digger by dave mathews, and each one i download had this problem. i suppose it could be an RIAA thing, but im guesssing its just a glitch... maybe the reason it seems to have corrupted all songs from a single band/group is because it got a bad connection to kazaa and all you need to do is restart kazaa... i found one file shared by 70 something people, and i doubt they all kept a corrupt file for the hell of it. in fact, ill try restarting kazaa right now

(restarting...)
(searching for same corrupt song...)
(downloading...)
(listening with head phones held away from head...)

ahhh! jeasus... always gets me... same problem. oh well...

Re: Strange noise on certain mp3's of kazaa (lite)

THIS IS THE SECURITY AGAINST DOWNLOADING.
Kazaa is now charging to use their software as a result every song you download will be corrupt.
And also be careful the american legal system is cracking down on this softeware and their users, beaware that 214 million people have already been charged. around the world.

Re: Strange noise on certain mp3's of kazaa (lite)

This is most likely to be a security meassure of record company's.The latest news is (was on TV in the netherlands 6 oclock news) that they plant a virus in the original cd track,when someone makes a mp3 out of it, the virus will copy itself.It will not damage anything on your system, but it corrupts the mp3.They could have made the virus more destructable,but the legal advisors and judges said it wasnt possible in a legal way to destroy other people's properties...this is all i know...
good thing is thoug , is that the good songs are still out there...look hard ;)

Re: Strange noise on certain mp3's of kazaa (lite)

Doubtful. Even the RIAA knows that creating viruses is wrong. First of all, it's against the law. We all know how much the RIAA loves laws... So no. I doubt the RIAA would create a virus that corrupts mp3 files. I mean - there's still the possibility that some of the files that would be targeted ARE legal.

Re: Strrange noise on certain mp3's of kazaa (lite)

yeah its pretty messed up, i will be sitting here at night, and have the CRAP scared out of me while listening to a song. i swear i cant sleep afterwards for the life of me. it sucks. there has got to be a way around it.

Re: Strrange noise on certain mp3's of kazaa (lite)

This problem has been happening with a lot of people, and not just from Kazaa. Some of them said that RIAA, has been sharing corrupted files in the network to force people to buy CDs. They said most of the 50 cents songs are like this. I didn't try. But maybe you should try to download files with less people sharing and that was ripped by another person.

Re: Strrange noise on certain mp3's of kazaa (lite)

I had the same prob since yesterday, but only with some Shania Twain songs.
I managed to get rid of the noise by downloading from only one source.
The noise starts at the connection point of two download sources.
