It's always a shame to lose a regular...

And I can see where you're coming from when you bring up the off topic posts... a lot of them can be annoying for the regulars and newcomers alike who are only interested in the software side of things.

What would you and any other folks reading this like to see? For instance we don't tolerate spam etc and will delete it as soon as we see it. However, would it be the general opinion of board that any post not related to music software also be deleted?

Drop me an email or post a reply.

Later, Michael.

: 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.

Hey Lister... !

It's a shame to see you not posting around here.. Your my Screen brother after all.. ;o)

Do what I do. Come here occasionally when you feel the urge. There are some needy people here.

The real solution is to use a well known bulletin board that isn't anonymous. I don't mind the anonymity in some ways but it does give room for people that just wish to use the forum as an advertising space. Some people have not sense of decency and etiquette.

That aside. There are some needy people here and that's the main thing. Small though the count may be, there are still there.

The real solution is to have a moderator that can delete the posts. I could read down for days and still see spam, warez requests and general abuse. It generally doesn't get deleted..

Stick around brother. ;o)

Regards

Rimmer

oh and, Happy New Year...!

Re: download

Posted by Rimmer on Fri, 01/09/2004 - 14:23.

Download Safari, the browser from Apple. It's better than anything else on OSX.

If you want to download something from a link on a webpage and you get a bunch of characters on the screen, then go back, 'Right Click' (or Control Click if you have a one button mouse) on the link and select Download Link To Disk (or something like that).

Should work.. :D

Piano learning software with MIDI

Posted by Kim Melhus on Wed, 01/07/2004 - 03:40.

Hello, I am looking for an excellent piano learning software, MIDI compatible. It should display a full sheet of music on the screen not just a few bars, be able to choose to play the right and/or left hand, and have a bouncing ball indicator to follow the music. I have tried several programs and find them too limited. I saw the functionality I want on a very high end Roland digital piano, but I have a more basic Yamaha model, and thought there might be software for Windows that would give close to the wonderful Roland functionality. I haven't found it yet, if I do, I will buy it.
Please help.
Thanks,
Kim Melhus

Re: Piano learning software with MIDI

Posted by Valeri Koukhtiev on Sat, 01/24/2004 - 17:05.

Kim, you may try Soft Mozart piano learning software.
Go to www.doremifasoft.com

It is a new and quite different from others software. It has no lectures, but has a special interactive approach to teach you how to read music and play your song from the start. It allows you to chose your hand, helps with reading and memorizing of songs. You need any MIDI keyboard (Yamaha is OK) and connection to the computer.

Good luck!

Is the hum all that is wrong with it??

Does it hum through the speakers or is it coming from the desk?

Could be a lose earth or a broken earth. You shouldn't use it with a broken earth. The simplest way to check if there is a broken earth is to find yourself a continuity tester (as in a multi meter or resistance meter) connect one end to the earth pin on the plug for the desk and the other on an exposed bit of metal on the desk itself. A screw usually works IF it hasn't been painted. If it doesn't make a connection then you have an earth breakage.

Stephanie,

I am an accompanist (keyboards) to singers. Do you have any demo tapes or cd's that you could send me or download? You sure seem to have the passion that is necessary for a good singer.

What kind of genre of music are you into?

High pitched noise on CD-R when burned

Posted by Nate Dog on Mon, 01/05/2004 - 19:46.

I am using Sonic Foundry 4.0 XL to record a live mono signal dialogue through an Audigy 2 sound card. The play back sounds great on the computer, but whenever I burn to CD using Nero, I get high pitched S'ing on the speach. Processing with the EQ before buring helps but does not eliminate the S'ing. What is the problem and or how do I fix this?

Do you convert the sample-rate of your mrs-4 file? I've had this problem with zoom-mrs4 files (32khz) converted to CD-Wav files (44.1khz). Now i'm using "foobar" on windows to convert the sample-rate (http://www.foobar2000.com) and there is no noise I can hear with my "amateur-ears".
Good luck

I am wondering about the same!!! I am thinking of buying a laptop (an acer, with regular soundcard built-in i presume)... Can i still control reason with my midi keyboard??? Is there a way to plug midi instruments in USB or anything...

Re: Reason on laptop?

Posted by Paul on Fri, 01/23/2004 - 09:42.

yer no problem , I have an IBM T23. Reason works a treat, if you have a midi keyboard which connects via USB then just plug it in and away you go.... I have a M-Audio 8 keyboard about £90 connected. Very portable and easy to use....

Hope that helps,

G-VOX guitar..having problems installing it to my Win XP compute

After you install it, right click and get the advanced properties. In XP, you can tell it to run as Win95.... should work fine.

Re: G-VOX guitar..having problems installing it to my Win XP com

Posted by Jmes on Sun, 09/26/2004 - 17:04.

Guess again, does not work in Compatibility mode, maybe if you had it installed in win95 then upgraded to XP, but not if XP is the native OS.

Did you even try compatibility mode before you posted your response?

All I can think is why would a software company write a program that is so dependent on specific characteristics of an OS? Worse, Fender endorses it!

What a sad statement on the Fender corportaions part to endorse a shoddy product that was so poorly written it can't be executed in any other environment.

I think G-vox should either provide a driver or stop selling thier old stock, I have seen this product for sale at many online stores.

Personally, I would never buy a G-vox product again, what happens at the next OS upgrade? You got to wait for corporate clowns to produce another product which you will pay full price for of course.

Fender, you ought to be ashamed of yourselves for endorsing, flashing your logo on the front cover, ofa product that sucks.

Re: G-VOX guitar..having problems installing it to my Win XP com

Posted by Bill on Wed, 12/29/2004 - 21:50.

I am having the same problems. Although the G-Vox "riffs" will still work with XP, it seems nothing else will.

Part of it has to do with them using Macromedia Director to develop with. Are you getting the "you must have 3 mb of virtual memory free" error? You can go to the control pannel/system/advanced/virtual memory and try to lower it and see if that works (I changed mine from 1.5 gig to 100 mb and got around that error).

Then there's the OLD OLD OLD quicktime problems (v2.0 or something). And there's also issues with it's own libraries in the "xtras" directory not being recognized. Plus it doesn't recognize the CD is in the drive.

Running in "windows 95" or "98" mode don't seem to do anything. I'm still trying, because the software itself seems very cool, I just think they made some bad platform choices for development.

I have "Guitar" (with the pickup, doesn't work either), Guitar 101, and the Eric Clapton songbook. Riffs is still fun, and I have the "DU" set for Riffs which are good lessons. I also have the Steve Morse Riffs set, but it's besome corrupted somehow?

I'm even thinking of just loading a 40 gig in an external USB drive and loading it with 98 just to run some of my older programs like this.

G-vox software

Posted by Anna Denison on Sat, 01/10/2004 - 15:58.

Because Gvox doesn't carry this system anymore, I am having trouble getting the software/drivers. I have the system, but somewhere along the way I lost the cd software that came with the system. I have everything else..all the hardware..just no software. Does anyone know where I might get just the software cd/drivers? Caleb, I have upgraded to Windows XP since I used the GVox last. Does it seem to work? I am totally a guitar person and really just want to be able to use it to input into my Finale Guitar program.

Any comments would be helpful.
