Anyone want to dole out some advice on a daw?

Greetings,

I am going to be building a DAW soon. Was wondering if anyone has had
any experience with the following setup (or something similiar):

Athlon XP 2200
ASUS A7N8X-E mobo
Albatron nVIDIA GeForce4 MX440-8X, 64MB (sorta cheap, but I dont need
graphics)
2x SAMSUNG HD 80GB 7200/ATA133 M-Audio 2496 sound card
SONY Beige 52x32x52 IDE Internal CD-RW Drive (thats right, beige!)
2x Corsair 184 Pin 512MB DDR PC-3200
using a case with 400w power supply

Am I going to run into any obvious problems?

Thanks!

: Am I going to run into any obvious problems?

And the software is???

you might want to go for a little more umph in the CPU--if your MB will
support it, but otherwise (and the vid card), you should be okay. Don't
underestimate the value of a great video card, when using them with these
"highly" graphical programs!

For software I am going to be using Audio Mulch, FL, assortment of
VSTs, sound forge, tuareg, umm, not sure what else. (little light on
the software budget as you can see :-P )

I just bought the CPU about 2 months ago so I am hellbent on using it
a little more, but I thought I'd put the thing together and then down
the road upgrade.

So a little bit more of a vid card? Hmm, well I guess a little bit
nicer card wuoldn't break the bank (less taco bell tho)

Thanks for the input!

Redundant midi ports,can't acces patch names,no p/b etc...

Hi,
First sorry for my bad english
I have Creative SB Live (the value version) and Cubase SX 1.01 installed.
Everything seems to work fine, but there are things that I really don't understand.
I have also uploaded some screenshots on:
http://www.geocities.com/vbbskopje/
I hope this will help you to understand my problem better

1.The list of the available midi out ports
per track has some redundant entries.
I know that's not unussuall(I have found some info on the net), but the problem is the following:
When I choose the "SB Live synth" A or B, everything is working fine except that I cannot list the patch names, like "Piano","Violin" etc..I have to type the values manually for each track (for example,let's say that bank: 0 patch: 1
is a "piano") But when I switch the track's Midi out to the redundant "SB Live Synth!" A or B, the patch names are here available for selecting...but there's no playback! I've tried to change the bank, to change instruments but there's no sound. (the track's playback meter- the led is responding)
I've tried to solve this by going to the midi device manager and installing a Midi device (GM or XG or whatever) and it's working OK,but I cannot find the particular instrument that I'm looking for in the available banks for these devices.

2.My both midi synths: SB Live synth A and B appear correctly in list in the Devices>"Device Setup", but when I click them, there r no available settings on the right side, it's just grey under the "Setup" tab.
Is that normal or is it something wrong?

3.All of the listed Midi ports in the "DirectMusic" setup except the "SB Live midi port" are turned off and I cannot switch them to "Active" mode by clicking under the "Active" option.

Is this normal?

Thank you very much!

Tab creation

Is there a software application that would allow me to play a CD into my computer and create a tabliature for guitar.

Thank you .

Jim

Re: Tab creation

How would the software be able to discern the different instruments? That's the biggest problem. Try looking here: <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/win95/NOTATION/">http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/win95/NOTATION/</a>

Problem with SW1000xg, SBlive and Hubis Loopback

I've installed SW1000xg and SBlive on my, which were working OK. I put on Hubis loopback so Xgedit would work with Cubase 3.7... worked ok apart from midi timing problem, then I noticed my SBLive had uninstalled itself and gave blue screens when I tried to reinstall.
I'm guessing Loopback is messing it up, but I'm not sure.
Any ideas?

Can anyone tell me the name of the song - kinda erotic- the girl singing Hey Nony Nony - Hang it anywhere you can- to the Phone man?

Re: name of song... driving me crazy!

: Can anyone tell me the name of the song - kinda erotic- the girl singing Hey Nony Nony - Hang it anywhere you can- to the Phone man?

I believe the name of the song "driving you" is "Telephone man" from 1977, performed by Meri Wilson.
You can find the lyrics at: http://www.songlyrics4u.com/meri-wilson/telephone-man.html

Re: name of song... driving me crazy!

Re: name of song... driving me crazy!

How do I patch my MPC 2000xl into the midi sequencer in REASON

I've got my MPC connected to a midiman and the midiman to my pc but I cant seem to figure out how to sequence my midi in REASON. Im trying to have my MPC play through my REASON mixing board....Any help is appreciated...

Re: How do I patch my MPC 2000xl into the midi sequencer in REAS

You cannot do this. Reason won't take the audio in from your mpc. If anything you might be able to sequence reason's modules (synths + samplers) with your mpc. If this is bad news, then I'll buy your 2000xl

Is there a software or driver so that my pc can read mpc files

Is there a software or driver so that my pc can read mpc files Please contact me @ onemilloinsie@yahoo.com

Encore 4.2 problems

I am having a very problem with Encore 4.2, the early version. I have windows 98, just for your reference. Here's the problem. I put in the notes on the various staffs, when I get ready to print, the page looks fine and then when I print, some of the notes don't show up or else they show up at the bottom of the page instead of the staff they were written on. I've tried adjusting my system set, my measures per page and nothing seems to remedy the problem. It may have something do with my printer but I can't imagine what it would be. I have an antique, more or less. It's a Compaq IJ300. Frankly, I'm stumped and would appreciate any help. I'm doing some arrangements for a group I work with and have to go through and write in missing notes plus cross out unwanted ones. The notes I'm putting are often via mouse, rather than through my keyboard. Could that be a factor? Should that be a factor? Anyway, I'll appreciate any clues on this.

Waveout Format not Supported

I had to reboot my computer, and I've installed everything back into it. But now, I can't play any music at all. I don't know much about computers, and I've checked my sound card, and it says that it is working properly. You can reach me at the email above if you have any suggestions.

Thanks

Re: Waveout Format not Supported

Do you know how i could reinstall my sound card? I accidentally removed it while removing some other files.
