I want to make a decision on the most stable music production pr

Posted by Chris Wilson on Sat, 01/10/2004 - 09:26.

I want to be able to replace my existing MPC 2000 and racks of modules and DPS hard disk recorder , but want really good stability , I am used to no crashes ! , I reckon that DP and Logic 6.3 , are the only real choices , but cannot decide on which to go for , has anyone had recent experience on a pro level with both of these programs , and knows the areas of weakness with both , I would like to hear your opinions Chris

Re: I want to make a decision on the most stable music productio

Posted by Rimmer on Sat, 01/10/2004 - 13:08.

The way I see it (and my experience with DP is limited) is that Logic is a very adaptable application with amazing use of technology and the Apple platform. DP doesn't use the Alitvec part of the G4 processor therefore isn't as nippy. I have read though that DP gives a better track count although a fast Mac with a good card gives a massive track count in Logic audio.

Logic audio also has an effects Freeze option which takes the strain off the CPU when you are using a load of effects.

I use Logic as it's got everything I need. It's the pinnacle program on the Mac.

What Mac are you using? What type of music are you making.. There are other things to consider when making your studio

Firstly , thanks for the reply , I appreciate the comments .I produce for a variety of vocalists , Jazz , RnB , Soul ,Rock etc (in the UK ) and I also produce for the commercial media markets , as well as a strong interest in orchestral music . if anyone has further advice on making a choice between DP and Logic 6 , I would be very interested to read your comments .

Posted by Rimmer on Sun, 01/11/2004 - 14:25.

The truth is. Either one will take you there.. Logic will have a better integration with the Mac as Emagic is now Apple owned.

My advice it to test them both out and see which one fits.

Genuine sound reproduction

Posted by Brian Sanders on Fri, 01/09/2004 - 17:55.

Having purchased Sibelius 3 and it's update (3.1) I still find that the playback sound is 'synthetic' and in no way does it sound like a brass band sound!
I am using Kontakat Silver as a playback but the listed instrumental sounds are insufficient and it still doesn't sound like a brass band.
How can i get a true sound in playback?

magix music studio 7 question

Easy, Dustin,
Your guitar tracks will be saved as wav files. Open up MIDI Studio and arm an audio track (ie click on it). Go to the audio menu and click "Import audio" and click on your guitar wav file, wherever you've stored it. Repeat on a new track if you have more than one guitar wav file. Then you'll have your guitar audio and drum MIDI all in the one window, ready to mix and bounce down.
The alternative is to go to your soundcard mixer and set it up to record from your MIDI as the sound source and record it to a new track in Audio Studio. It's a bit more fiddly. Either way will work. Good luck.

BRAD PAISLEY - "I'm Gonna Miss Her"

found here: http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/bradpaisley/imgonnamissher.html

Well I love her
But I love to fish
I spend all day out on this lake
And hell is all I catch
Today she met me at the door
Said I would have to choose
If I hit that fishin' hole today
She'd be packin' all her things
And she'd be gone by noon

Well I'm gonna miss her
When I get home
But right now I'm on this lakeshore
And I'm sittin' in the sun
I'm sure it'll hit me
When I walk through that door tonight
That I'm gonna miss her
Oh, lookie there, I've got a bite

Now there's a chance that if I hurry
I could beg her to stay
But that water's right
And the weather's perfect
No tellin' what I might catch today

Well I'm gonna miss her
When I get home
But right now I'm on this lakeshore
And I'm sittin' in the sun
I'm sure it'll hit me
When I walk through that door tonight
That I'm gonna miss her
Oh, lookie there, I've got a bite

Yeah, I'm gonna miss her
Oh, lookie there, I've got a bite

AKAI MPD16 with Kontakt in OS X

Posted by Brian on Fri, 01/09/2004 - 03:49.

I am trying to use an AKAI MPD16 midi pad control unit with Kontact software on my mac. I am running OS X, and it is not reading the pad for some reason. My computer and Kontakt are both recognizing that the pad is connected.... but i am unable to use the pad as my controller. The only way for me to get sounds is by using the on-screen controller.

I'm just purchased and assembled this home studio... so i am FARE FROM A BUFF! So if you have an answer - please explain in extreme detail - hahah. Hope someone can help me!

Thanks!

Re: AKAI MPD16 with Kontakt in OS X

Sounds like an issue with contact. If the OS knows it's there and Kontact knows too, then...

Post something here

Microphone into usb midi

Posted by jwade on Thu, 01/08/2004 - 20:17.

I was wondering if anyone could help me with this dilemma. I have this Shure mic and I thought I could just plug it into this new midisport midi 2x2. However, the cable is made for monitors and is too big. Can I get a cable that is usb on the female side and mic standard form on the male side or do I have to get a usb microphone to plug into the midi?

Re: Microphone into usb midi

Posted by Rimmer on Fri, 01/09/2004 - 14:09.

Neither.

Midi is NOT for transferring audio. You will need an Audio interface with either a microphone preamp (NOT a line in) or an audio card with a line in and then buy a mic preamp.

After rendering midi to wav...

: Thanks in advance...

Of course, if they are actual uncompressed soudstreams and transformed, not just with a manually changed extension. If you actually used a program to transform the midi into wav, it will be playable on your cd player. By the way, do you have a mid. to wav. converter? I need one.

Re: After rendering midi to wav...

Posted by Colin on Tue, 01/20/2004 - 13:23.

Hi Milosz. Thanks for the help. I don't have a converter (renderer) yet, as I was waiting to be sure I could do what I wanted. Here are some links to some of the software I was looking at:

If you have a wave file with audio information and you burn it to a CD as an Audio CD (not a data CD) then it should play in most if not all audio CD players...

This site

Posted by Lister on Thu, 01/08/2004 - 11:16.

After a few months away (make that quite a few), I decided to pop back and have a look at how the site was progressing. My conclusion? It's getting worse. I look at the kind of messages being posted, then try and work out the tenuous link between them and the title of the forum - "Music Software Disussion and Help". I reckon that less than half the messages actually fit this category. As for the repeated "I want to be famous...."....doh!!!

Think I'll disappear off for another year. Maybe then things might have improved....but I doubt it.
