with a good soundcard.
you can play your midifile and record it as wav
in a waveditor(cooledit ect.)

Re: midi to wav. ...

Posted by bjorn1 on Wed, 03/17/1999 - 20:19.

You have to have an analog output from your midi device and then route it through a mixer or directly into the soundcard and whoops! the midi signal becomes an audio signal!

AWE 64 for programming DX7?

Posted by BCutt on Wed, 03/17/1999 - 14:01.

Can anyone tell me if my SB AWE 64 will work for transferring patches back and forth from my Yamaha DX-7 (havent got the synth yet). I know the card only emulates the MPU401 midi interface that the synth requires. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated

>>>You sure can! Use the sysex menu in Cakewalk or Midi Orchestrator Plus, simply load a patch bank, then send to your DX7...btw, make sure keyboard's memory protect is turned off and set sys info available (function/8 for midi) Have fun!

Notation Software for 486 Disc Drive Only

Posted by Shaun on Wed, 03/17/1999 - 06:58.

God I'm desperate. Is there any software that does full orchestral notation, part extraction etc that I can run on my 486 running Win 3.11 with disk drive only? God bless you if you can help.
Shaun.

Shaun,

as Win 3.11 usually uses some swap memory of
your disk, I would urgently recommend to install
a hard drive. Notation software for a 486 under
Win 3.11 might be: Finale ('til version 97),
Encore or Capella (www.whc.de). All of them
work under Win 3.11, but I asure you - they all
work better with a hard drive.

Greetings, Harald

I'm new at this.......

Posted by Sandra on Wed, 03/17/1999 - 03:10.

I'm new at the whole mp3 thing. When i click on someone's link to one(mp3) all i get is a bunch of computer code and stuff. What does this mean???

Re: I'm new at this.......

Posted by Geoff @ Hitsquad on Thu, 03/18/1999 - 00:52.

What you should do is hit SHIFT and left click on your mouse simultaneously to download the file. If the server hosting the MP3 file has their server set a certain way you get the 'garbage' on the screen. Try a reputed site like www.mp3.com/ and you'll find files download without having to click on your mouse and press shift.

Cheers

When I'm in ReBirth listening to a pattern it sounds fine no skips or anything. As soon as I move my mouse it skips like crazy! How can i fix this? any feedback would be appreciated thanks.

Re: Need ReBirth help please!

Posted by Geoff @ Hitsquad on Wed, 03/17/1999 - 01:32.

It could be as simple as not having enough RAM in your system. You'd want at least 32 MB of RAM, but 64 would be a dream.

Have you figured out a way to convert windows media audio files to wave (or mp3)? I want to record some of these files to disc but can not use this format nor can I figure out how to convert them. I tried "CoolDecode" (a free program available) with no success.

TRY CAKEWALK absolute the best there is !!!!!

Re: Studio Mixing programs

Posted by David Channon on Wed, 03/17/1999 - 01:09.

The other main program in use in Logic Audio produced by emagic(www2.emagic.de/) and distributed by Sound Technology plc(www.soundtech.co.uk/) in the uk. It is pretty much like Cubasis, and in my opinion is better than Cubasis.

Logic is your best bet for remixing tracks, but
using another program to get the smaples of CD
is easiest. I use the mixer bundled with my soundcard......which works fine. I am using 98
and all works fine.

The other option is to get cubasis working on 98.
I know that were some problems with Logic and 98
when 98 first came out...but they are solved now
Try contacting Millenium Music Software at
www.millennium-music.co.uk/
They sorted me out when I had problems.
They are also very good at advice.

Hope that helps...If u email me i`ll try to
answer any other questions.

:I have tried everything that's been suggested.Ripper, real audio plus-full version, etc. the method I opted for was to purchase an audio cable.
:attach it to your sound card and to a tape deck. record from your computer. This method allows you to record ram, ra au or whatever.New or old. Then you remove the audio cable from the puters output and reinsert into input.
:here is where you need a program.Don't use windows sound recorder. dump it, delete it, get rid of the damn thing. get a good one. I use cool edit pro but there are others.
:now you transfer tape to computer in wav format. fini

Converting 8 bit .wav`s to 16 bit .wav`s..How?

Posted by David Channon on Tue, 03/16/1999 - 12:53.

I am using logic audio and I have some 8 bit sound files
that I want to use in compositions. Logic will not
allow me to load them and I cannot get any of my other
audio programs to convert them into 16 bit...
I am assuming that there is a piece of software
somewhere that can do this...but I cannont find it.
Or is re-recording them through my soundcard the
only way?

Any help would be much appreciated.

thanks

Re: Converting 8 bit .wav`s to 16 bit .wav`s..How?

Posted by Lynn Dufrene on Mon, 07/16/2001 - 14:05.

: I had the same problem. I was trying to record 8 bit wave files to cd audio forrmat and it wouldn't let me! The problem isn't that it's 8 bit but cd audio won't support the 8 kHz format. If you are running Windows go to the sound recorder under programs/accessories/multimedia. Open the wave file you want to convert and under FILE select save as. At the bottom of the dialog box you will see a key for CHANGE. Select this and you can change the format to 44.100 kHz 16 bit stereo or mono. CD audio will only recognize the 44.100 kHz format. This should work. Good luck!
