Wav to cda

Hey!

I read your posting on the Share Ware Site, I am making a sound queue for the school's drama production. I have the quewe on my computer, and I have a CD burner, but the file is saved as a .wav file. If I burn this on my CD can it be read by a normal CD player? If not do you know of a program that could make the conversion?

THANKS FOR ANY INFO!

Adam Coombs

P.S. Please reply A.S.A.P. (the show is soon!)

Re: Wav to cda

Yes, you can do that. I dont know exaactly what settings
the cd burner has to be, but it should be done fairly easily
if you just play around with it. The burner should automatically
turn the wav into digital audio. I stress SHOULD because I am having
a problem with my toast settings and I dont know if its the fact that
I am trying to burn wav to cda on a mac or what.

Just getting started, What do I need!!!

I have done some 4-tracking but would like to get into recording
on my pc. I need to know where to start and what products I would
need to buy. I am looking for something with the same quality as an
adat. Please help!!

Re: Just getting started, What do I need!!!

You'll find n-Track studio great for hard disc recording. It's cheap and the quality is pretty good. You can't go wrong with Cool Edit for creating and editing sound files.

Voyetra Sequencer Plus

Hello out there!

I have a very old version of the great program Voyetra Sequencer Plus - and there are many limitations in it.

Does anyone have a newer than 1991 full version of the program? Please let me know and email me the program - I know that there are many great musician guys out there, who are willing to help me with this...!

Re: Voyetra Sequencer Plus

There is a newer version from Voyetra called Digital Orchestrator Pro and is better than older versions. You have some new things here (like wave and midi synchronization and other).

Audio/Midi Timing problems

Ive finally managed to put down an audio track to a
midi arrangement and everything works fine. The problem
is ive tried to do exactly the same thing with another
arrangement and the audio plays back out of sync.
Ive got cubase 3.5 running on a 233mhz pentium in windows
95 with a AWE64 card.
Also theres about a one second delay from input to output
on my audio so i cant monitor what im playing.
It seems strange that i can the midi and audio are in sync for
on arrangement but is way out for all my other arrangements

Can anyone help?
Thanks

What kind of file is .mus???

Can anyone out there tell me what kind of application can open files with a .mus extension. I am not familiar with music software, so if anyone has any leads, especially about any shareware/freeware might be available to open and play this type of file, I'd appreciate it. ---Thanks----

It's not that easy

This is pretty bad, I'm afraid.

In addition to Sibelius, MusicTime and Finale, there is also an obscure notation program called SCORE that use .mus for it's file format.

These programs use completely different formats and cannot read each others files. It's only the file-name that is common.

To make things even worse:
Different versions of the thrown-together selection of badly designed program coding called Finale use different file formats (with the same name again), so you can't even be sure that you'r able to read Finale-files you've got from somebody else even if you do have the program!

Isabelle,

Coda's Finale reads and writes MUS files. It's
the internal file format for this application.
If you would like to be shure, send me a file
and I can tell you if it's a Finale file.

I, too, have received a .mus file and cannot open it...how do you do this/

Re: What kind of file is .mus???

Mr.Schollmeyer I want to open *.mus files in the game THPS3(Tony Hawks Pro Scater). I tried Finale Notepad but it didn't work. Please help me if you know!

Re: What kind of file is .mus???

Well, it seems that the *.mus files of THPS 3 are not real *.mus files. I found out that there eight files that you can rename to mp2 for making them work using e.g. Winamp. Though the quality isn't that great it's kinda useful I think. The eight files are:

ace.mus
antfarm.mus
gangsta.mus
pain.mus
ramones.mus
rev.mus
xzibit.mus
zebra.mus

If you find out what other files the 14 remaining files really are please tell me via ICQ or post it in here. MY ICQ-Nr. is: 161379372

Re: What kind of file is .mus???

.mus files are notation sheets for
Sibelius or MusicTime.
With these programs you can convert it
to MIDI or play them directly.

Maybe anyone other has a free-
or shareware prog to work with these files,
but I don't think of.

How do I get accompaniment tracks

I would like to be able to get the instrumental track of a song in digital format so that I can record the vocals on top and also run it through some sequencing software etc. Can any one tell me what I need to do this.

Re: How do I get accompaniment tracks

I can custom produce for you ANY song (hit or original) "exact" copy in any key. All formats available so you can sing and record it in your fafor sequencer (Logic Audio, Cubase etc...). A catalog with song titles available too.
I am professional. Call or E-mail me. Tel. (323) 962-5225.

Ivan.

Re: How do I get accompaniment tracks

Ivan:

Can you produce an accompaniment track of "God is in this place" by Plus One. I'm not sure in what key is it recorded but I do well in "F" or "G". Let me know if this is possible, the cost, and how long it takes you to do it. Thanks.

Re: How do I get accompaniment tracks

To Luis-

Can you produce an accompaniment track of "Here in my Heart" by Plus One. I basically need it ASAP. I am supposed to sing it for a Homecoming Coronation. And I have looked everywhere for it. You are my last hope. I need to know cost, and when you think it can be delivered. Can you do it in the same key that is on the CD, and then a half step lower, and then a whole step from the original key. E-mail me for details and all. Thanks a lot.

Recycle experts opinion needed!!!!

I have the following problem using Steinnbergs recycle:
I want to load a beat into reecycle, let the program analise it and cut it into slices, and then create a midi file that corresponds to the rythm in this beat.
So that seems pretty easy: I go into "export groove midi file" and there ihave it. Now coming to the point: The midi file i just created allocates a different midi note to each one of the slices of my original beat. So say if i have 150 slices, i will end up with 150 difffrent midi notes, and I will actually run out of midi notes. For me the midi notes should not be different though, becasue all i am interested in is the rythm of the beat and not what notes they fall on. So the perfect result for me would be that all the slices in recycle will be the same midi note in the resulting midi file, as long as teh groove is unchanged. See, when i open up the resulting midi file in cubase i will get midi notes everywhere instead of nice and neat just on 1 note.

The reason i want to do all this is because i want to replace a recorded bass drum with a different one, so i have to create a midi map of it.

If this makes sense in the slightest to anyone at all I would be delighted.

If all that you want is just the feel from Midi file all that you have to do is use the match quantize function (Q) to match your beat to the feel of the Midi file.

I'm looking for Recycle, can anyone email it to me or upload it in my freedrive account? Please!!

MIDI HELP

If anyone can help me please reply:
I am looking for a way to create/edit midi instrument files (.ins) and specify the patches in them. Also, I have a program that creates patches in .pat format. Is this the correct format?
I cannot figure out how to use the .ins files either.

PS. Can anyone figure out how to use Microsoft IDF edit or .idf fies?
