Great mp3 player

Posted by Dennis Bakker on Sat, 02/13/1999 - 09:43.

If you have a lot of mp3's and you want to organize them and use them with a great database/player, then you must considder downloading Mp3-Box V1.3 from http://people.a2000.nl/dbakker
With this player, you can play mp3, wav, midi and real audio. If you want to play a specific song, just type in the artistname or songtitle and Mp3-Box searches it from your database! You can even search for a part of the title, or search within a genre!

WAV to MIDI Conversion

Posted by Sunil Gupta on Sat, 02/13/1999 - 08:47.

Are then any utilities that will allow conversion in both directions. If you have any suggestions I would greatly appreciate them.

: Are then any utilities that will allow conversion in both directions. If you have any suggestions I would greatly appreciate them.

MIDI to wave is easy, use any wave renderer or record your soundcards output.
The other way around just isn't possible..
If you had read some of the previous messages you could have found that out by now I guess..

mp2 player for 486-33: does one exist?

Posted by Peter Hernes on Sat, 02/13/1999 - 07:18.

I've got an old machine that I'm setting up in a lab as the dedicated music box. I've tried a handful of different players for mp2's but everything plays v e r y s l o w l y. Is it a lost cause? Or is there something that would work? Thanks.

mp3 2 wav

Posted by Tomas Mannermo on Sat, 02/13/1999 - 01:30.

I wonder if there's any differens between the software that converts mp3 to wave I have used winamp with out_disk.dll or whatever it's namned but I'm not sure if this is the best way to decode mp3 to wave. Are there any differens in quality with different decoders? Maybe l3encoder is better. If anyone know anything about this please help me.

New Powerbooks 101's and PCI slot?

Posted by Adrian on Fri, 02/12/1999 - 22:30.

AppleInsider posted a report on "Future Apple Hardware"
and it mentions "dual media bays, one with PCI".

Does that mean the new powerbooks will have a PCI slot
and we'll be able to do hard disk recording on them?

Any assistance understanding this would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Adrian

Constant Cakewalk Problems

Posted by Steven Paul Perry on Fri, 02/12/1999 - 21:06.

It seems impossible to ever finish any project I start on Cakewalk.
It always freezes the computer, and then requires cntrl/alt/delete.
All the supposed great features in 8.o2 ( I have the latest)
seem like bullshit to me. It just never works right.
Cakewalk tech support is getting tired of hearing from
me. My computer behaves flawlessly until I do anything
with digital audio.
Even wav files working with sound forge eventually
freeze. My computer has a Pentium233, 64MB RAM, 2 HD-
a 3.2gig and a 5.7 gig(just for wave files)I have the
Events Electronics LAYLA sound card, with it's latest
drivers. Why am I cursed?
at the end of cakewalk tolerence...
Help!!! Steven

Re: Constant Cakewalk Problems

Posted by MtraX on Fri, 03/12/1999 - 10:57.

Hi Steven.

I had the same problem. All you have to do is download the newest version of directX. I have absolutely no problems anymore. The plug-ins used to screw up my Cakewalk, but I've never looked back...mail me if you're still suffering!

Re: Constant Cakewalk Problems

Posted by mike on Sun, 02/14/1999 - 16:16.

You should try Logic Audio - much more stable and powerful, although a little steeper learning curve - well worth it !
This opinion comes after trying Cubase, Cakewalk, Samplitude, etc., over the last two years.
cheers, mike

Thanks Mike, it's starting to look more and more
like that's the way to go. I've gotten other
recommendations of that program.

: I DON'T HAVE A CLUE HOW TO CONVERT MP3 TO MIDI AND I NEED TO!!! PLEASE HELP! EITHER E-MAIL ME OR JUST POST A REPLY. THANK YOU

The answer is short and simple: it can't be done.
You can convert a single voiced wav (or for that matter MP3) file to MIDI but anything more complicated than that is just not possible (yet).
You could try to figure out each voice and load it into a sequencer...:(

Re: HOW TO CONVERT MP3 TO MIDI?!?!

Posted by cat on Sun, 05/26/2002 - 23:34.

it can be done, you just have to find a converter program, they do exist. intelliscore is good (already mentioned) but i think it might only work on like powerpc or mac or sumthin...

Re: HOW TO CONVERT MP3 TO MIDI?!?!

Posted by VernBurn on Tue, 05/01/2001 - 21:29.

You guys don't know what your talking about, all you have to do is convert the mp3 to wav then the wav to midi!!!!!!

can't help you with this information, but I'll do my best.
First: there's more than one .sng format, evolution audio files as well as cubase files have this extension,
second: the .sng format in both cases comprises more than the standard MIDI format, like multiple Midi ports for example
In most sequencers you can save a file in a standard MIDI file and in a specific format (like .sng files) so you could try loading the file in cubase and then save it as a standard MIDI file...:)

Re: Convert .sng to .mid

Posted by Allan on Sun, 12/23/2001 - 22:53.

Kurzweil also uses the .SNG extension. If those are the types of .SNG files you're trying to convert, there's a Windows and a DOS program here that might help:

Whats the best for Score-Writing

Posted by Essesix on Fri, 02/12/1999 - 11:52.

Whats the best utility for score-writing ?
Finale98, Sibelius, Lime-Notation...
Any experience ?

Re: Whats the best for Score-Writing

Posted by mike on Sun, 02/14/1999 - 16:18.

Sibelius is probably the easiest to use and is very powerful.
Finale is probably the most in depth, powerful program but IMHO very difficult to learn.
