Re: CONVERTING MOD TO WAV
Programs like FT2.08 and ModPug tracker can save your songs as a wav....you can even save each channel separately and then edit each channel in N-Track and then save it as wav. Software is available from http://www.traxinspace.com
cool pro help?
Hi,
Why is the quality of recordings in multitrack view
(cool edit pro 1.0) so poor. Is the AWE 64 full duplex
not good enough ?
Re: cool pro help?
Hello,
You need to upgrade to v 1.1
There you can change recording order to
16:recording 8:playback.
It worked for me!
cubasis audio updates?
Hi, does anyone know where I may get a free update of
cubasis audio 1.06 from,

pay shit loads of cash!

MAKE EASY MONEY!!
LOTS OF CASH, FAST AND COMPLETELY LEGAL, THIS REALLY WORKS!! THIS
REALLY CAN MAKE YOU
EASY MONEY!!IT WORKS!!BUT YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW THIS LETTER FOR IT TO
WORK!!!! A little while
back, I was browsing through news groups, just like you are now,and came across an article similar
to this that said you could
make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of 6.00!So I thought,"Yeah
,right,this must be a scam",
but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway,it said that you send $1.00to each of
the 6 names and address
stated in the article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at
#6, and post the article in at least 200 news groups.(There are thousands) No catch,that was it.So
after thinking it over, and
talking to a few people first,I thought about trying it. I figured what have I got to loose except 6
stamps and $6.00, right?Like
most of us I was a little skeptical and worried about the legal aspects of it all.So I checked it out
with the U.S. Post Office
(1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed it was indeed legal! Then I invested the measly $6.00.
Well GUESS WHAT!!...within 7 days,I started getting money in the mail ! I was shocked! I figured
it would end soon,but the
money just kept coming in. In my first, week I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I
had made a total of over $1,000.00!
In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's still growing.This is now my fourth week and I have
made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it is still coming in rapidly.It's certainly worth $6.00 and 6
stamps.Let me tell you how this works and
most importantly, why it works...also make sure you print a copy of this article NOW,so you can
get information off of it as
you need it. Believe me, it does work!!
STEP 1:
Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper"PLEASE PUT ME
ON YOUR MAILING
LIST".Now get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside each pieces of paper so the bill will not be
seen through the envelope
to prevent thievery. Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them.Now,you
should have 6 sealed envelopes,
each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase,your name and address,and a $1.00 bill.
what you are doing is creating a service by this.
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses: #1) S.Bassett RR#1 Cannington,Ontario,Canada LOE 1EO
#2) Sharon 32 Sleepy
Hollow LN,Sicklerville,NJ 08081 #3) Justin 3707 Crenna Ave.Concord, CA 94519 #4) Chicollla
2 Oxford Mews, Poquoson VA 23662
#5) EZ Ads, P.O. Box 1274, Moses Lake, WA 98837 #6) Nathan Clemens 2049 Capella Ave. Evansville,
IN 47715
(Be sure to use the correct postage when mailing to the the states or out of the states)
STEP 2 :
Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above,move the other
names up (6 becomes five ,5 becomes 4 etc...) and add YOUR name as number 6 on the
list.
STEP 3 :
Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to original as
possible.Now, post your amended article to at least 200 news groups. (I think there are close to
24,000 groups.) All you need
is 200, but remember , the more you post the more money you make!---DIRECTIONS---HOW
TO POST TO NEWS
GROUPS---
STEP 1)
You don't need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your cursor at the
beginning of this letter and drag your cursor to the bottom of this
document,and select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the computers
memory.
STEP 2)
Open a blank "notepad" file under accessories in windows and place your cursor at the top of the
blank page.From the 'edit'
menu select 'paste'.This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to
the list. STEP 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file.If you want to
do your in different sittings, you will always have this file to go back to. STEP 4)Use Netscape or
Internet explorer and try searching for
various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.) STEP 5) Visit
message boards and post this article as a new message by
highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject,this will be
the header everyone sees as
then scroll through the list of postings in a particular group!**REMEMBER,THE MORE
NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN,THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL
MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it ! You will begin
receiving money from around the world within days. You
may eventually want to rent a P.O. Box due to the large amount of mail you will receive.If you wish
to stay anonymous,you can
invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it.
**JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.** Now the WHY part: Out
of the 200 postings say I only
receive 5 replies (a very low example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 Now,each of the
5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings,each with my name at
#5 and only 5 persons to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me,now those 25 each
make 200
MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each,I will bring in an additional $125.00!
Now, those125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name as #3 and I only
receive 5 replies each,I will make an additional $625.00! OK,now here is the fun part,each one of
those 625 persons post a MINIMUM of 200
letters with my name at #2 and they only receive 5 replies,that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those
3,125 persons will deliver this message to 200 news groups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons
per 200 news groups react I will receive
$15,625.00! With the original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer
on the list, you just take the latest posting in the news groups and send out
another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And start posting again.The
thing to remember is, do
you realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the internet and reading these
articles, everday,JUST LIKE
YOU ARE NOW!! So can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works?? I think so ... People have
said,"What if the plan is
played out and no one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that happening
when there are tons of new honest users and new honest users who are joining
the internet and newsgroups every day and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to
50,000 new users,every day ,with
thousands of those joining the actual internet. Remember,play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this
will work.

Cubase disk on STE doesn't work, fine on STFM
I have a very commonly available pirate version of the 2.1 cubase for atari which happily worked on STFM but since I've bought an STE with more memory I simply get horizontal lines on screen and it won't load. Is there a solution!?

: I have a very commonly available pirate version of the 2.1 cubase for atari which happily worked on STFM but since I've bought an STE with more memory I simply get horizontal lines on screen and it won't load. Is there a solution!?
Perhaps... Make a copy of the file "MROSx_xx"
Change the extension to "PRG" so the file now has
the name:"MROSx_xx.prg". Start the MROS.PRG before starting cubase.

There is something wrong with your computer. But you can try this: Make a copy of the file "MROSx_xx"
: Change the extension to "PRG" so the file now has
: the name:"MROSx_xx.prg". Start the MROS.PRG before starting cubase. Or you can try to start cubase from the SWITCHER PRG.

Can annyone help?
my correct EMAIL Adress is

Re: ASIO EVENT GINA in Cubase VST not visiblie
I suppose you`ve downloaded the Gina driver?
Maybe it is`nt installed yet...Did you unzip it on the floppy before installing?Did Win98 say it found a new hardware?It should.
Good luck!
Re: ASIO EVENT GINA in Cubase VST not visiblie
The installation is OK. The only problem is the
missing item in the VST ASIO menu.

DON'T BUY IT ! IT IS A PIECE A SHIT !
I just buy one and nothing works well. I have a lot
of problems of incompatibility.
More, this card works in 2 modes but you must reboot
to switch from one to the other mode...
So please : don't buy it !
Re: The new Maxi ISIS soundcard is excellent.
: : This is a fantastic value for money studio in a box, everything works properly and well. We have given this card/studio a tough test 95%. mike

Re: Is the new Maxi ISIS soundcard any good?
I tested the card on my system and everything works really well. So don't be affraid to buy one. If people tell it is no good they are probably from the competition and are affraid of the large sales this card is already getting.
Re: Is the new Maxi ISIS soundcard any good?
I have the card and I am still finding new good things about it to use. the biggest problem it has is the lack of support from the manufacturer. They have not updated the help info on this card for years, and the manual is one of the worst written I have ever come across. It is far too wordy and praises its product, yet does not have illustrations on the same page as the related text. It also spends tons of time on subjects when it needs to first get to the point about what it began to describe (but didn't). The site has no user group info or follow-up info or resources for its audio studio. There are no clear and concise descriptions of its soundbanks, sampling and other laudible attributes that are helpful for quick reference or typical use.
The card is a very very good card, but without support from its manufacturer, and with the confusing poorly written manual, and lack of desire on the company's part to hear its users feedback, it is destined never to achieve the greatness it already possesses.

P.S. I would love to hear from Guillemot regarding this, or for them to make their web site better and include more opportunities for current owner/users to help make their product better for themselves and others to use.

Hi John !
I tested mine on my system too and it don't work well.
I am still waiting for an answer from Guillemot support
for 3 days... What a good card/support !
If this card is a good one, I will be pleased that
someone can show me it working in MY computer.
I hope I am wrong about it...
By the way I am NOT from the competition.

Re: Is the new Maxi ISIS soundcard any good?
Hi Emmanuel,
Could you give me details of your system. What motherboard, bios etc...
We have found no problem at all in systems apart from motherboards that have a non PCI 2.1 compliant chipset onboard.
I'm glad that you managed to get most other features on the card working. Here in Australia the card is being widely accepted as a fantastic audio recording card. I have not tested many games yet..coming soon :)

Hi John,
My motherboard is an Abit BH6. I think the problems
comes from the plug and play features of modern bioses
that allocate automatically an irq to the card. If
this automatic irq is not 5, problems occurs with the
drivers (confirmed by Guillemot support). I put it
on pci slot 3 and it work with irq 5 (it was not easy
because there are 6 cards in my system : ati agp video,
voodoo 2, network, miro pctv, ati tv tuner and ISIS).
With irq 5 enabled in bios AND Windows (very important
that both have same resource allocation), 90% of the
card is working in Windows (I have not succeded in
making the external midi out work with dos games
--> exception fault in windows). With plain DOS,
it doesn't work and it CANNOT work ! The Guillemot
support confirmed that ISIS don't work with plain
DOS software. The only thing to do is to wait for new
drivers. It will be a good idea to put this information
in your FAQ because some guys like me think it work
and we spend hours to make it work.
By the way, this card is actually for musicians and
it is a good choice for this because of the external
unit. The sound is better than the Maxi Sound Homme
Studio Pro (less noise) and with optical i/o, the quality
is perfect (not tested the input yet).
But we can't expect it to work like an old
soundblaster in DOS environnement and nothing appears
in the manuals about this issue.
Well, enough blabla, I must add my old Gravis Ultrasound
to support plain DOS games. And try a real multi-track
recording and mixing with some friends...

Great stuff!
Hi Emmanuel,
Abit motherboards are very good. You should have no problems with that. I have had the card working properley on irq 11 ...but yes...as you say irq 5 is the best option.
You are absolutely right about the card being an excellent recording card for musicians. It has already got fantastic reviews here in Australia, and has been embraced strongly by musicians. An external breakout box with 20bit converters allows for pristine quality never befor heard of at such an affordable price!!!
Have fun

Re: Is the new Maxi ISIS soundcard any good?
I'm looking to hear about this soundcard also. All of the features and the price seem really good. But what I'm interested in hearing about are it's disadvantages. Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks
Brett
Re: Is the new Maxi ISIS soundcard any good?
Go buy the card before they go up in price. We tested many cards and all the features of the ISIS work. If people tell you they don't work it means they are competitors or don't know how to use the card.

post-scriptum to my previous message :
I understand that you don't like someone reporting
problems with ISIS, because it could lower your
sales. I am sorry but I am not involved with any
reseller or manufacturer or something. I am just
a poor PC user how don't know how to use a card
just by reading the manuals. I am mounting PC and
cards for 15 years ago and I think I can see when
there is a problem with me or with the hardware.
So would you dare reply to me to discuss about this ?
I will be glad you do John !
Best regards,
Emmanuel

Hi John !
I have spend hours and hours in getting all the
features to work and I will probably one day have
the chance to make it work totaly...
The problem with Media Station is over now because
I don't use it anymore (because of an extreme slow down
in all Windows application when Media Station is launched).
I'm working now on the problem of getting sound in DOS
mode (real DOS). Do you have tested it with Doom,
Duke Nuken 3D or someting similar (Sound+Midi) ?
It seems like all the mixers are to zero position
but there is no DOS mixer to verify this...
By the way, the attempt to use General Midi device
in a DOS crashes Windows with a 0D exception fault.
Can you confirm that all the features you tested
includes these too ?

Emmanuel
