Frequenses above 13000hz is cut in wav files

When I copy cd music to wav files (or sample in realtime) the wav files are cut. Frequenses above 13000 hz are substantialy lower in volume. This is shown when played in winamp. I can hear the diffrence between a non corrupt wav and a corrupted one.

You have to switch your soundcard to
full duplex mode:
Settings->System->Audio->AWE64 Audio (1st entry)->
Settings->Check Full Duplex, but uncheck the 3D-option

Rebirth&Cakewalk

How do I get these two programs working together, iv'e fiddled a bit around with hubis midi loopback device, but I don't seem to get it right

Re: Rebirth&Cakewalk

: How do I get these two programs working together, iv'e fiddled a bit around with hubis midi loopback device, but I don't seem to get it right

Hubi's loopback device is just what you need.
Make sure cake sends MIDI start/stop and clock signals to the loopback-port e.g. LB1, and set MIDI in = LB1 in preferences in Rebirth. Rebirth should now start and stop in sync with cakewalk...

Converting songs from cd to MP2 files

I have a web page for a rock band and have samples of the twelve songs in Mpeg 3. I can't get the Mpeg 3 files to play in quick time. I notice that all the files on Music Blvd. are in mp2. I'm useing a Mac Power G3. How do you covert the music into mp2?

Re: Converting songs from cd to MP2 files

got to www.digigram.com and download xtrack
it,s a demo without a key but it works and is professional software.

production

my band, the P0G0 PiRAtE$, (see our little webpage at: http://expage.com/page/p0g0pirates), is recording ourselves and we were looking for advice on how to make a bunch of really good quality copies, either from tape or mini-disc, to either tape or cd. we need at least 10 quality copies, but if you know of a really efficient method, we would prefer making many copies, to avoid finding a record label. Any advice, no matter how small, useless, or DIY it sounds, would be much appreciated. Thanx, ~ZAC HAVOC

wave out problem

Please help!
Every time I load Cubase, it says that "wave out [220] can't be opened
etc.." I can record, but can not play and hear wave recordings. I am going
insane now...windows sound player works and plays wave files, so its not the card. In the ASIO setup it lists the wave out and it is active. In the audio menu "disable audio" is NOT checked. I am using VST 3.553. Can anyone help PLEASE??????? At this point I can only use this software for midi! IRQ settings are OK, multimedia settings seem OK, no hardware conflicts etc...

Thanks,

Paul

Software Purchase

If anyone has any advice on purchasing music software could you please email me. I've tried Rebirth but wasn't all that impressed. I was thinking more like Cubase or Terateck.

DMan2044 For Sale

I bought the card on boxing day 'cause the pushy salesguy at Tom Lee said it was what I want. Got it home, popped it in and realized it was not what I wanted. Tried to return it but Tom Lee doesn't take back open software and neither does midiman unless it's damaged. AARRGHHH! Paid about $400 Canadian so if anyone is in the Vancouver area and has a serious offer please e-mail me or post on this forum. Or willing to trade for software or a scanner or digital camera.
Check out the stats. Have receipt and box and driver.
