: I need help with au. I have lots of java applets that use .au's but i cant make them...how?????????????

I need the same help if you find out anything please email me back
thank you,

Re: help! help!! How to make .au files in Microsoft Sound Record

I am using FrontPage2000 to set up a website and it says that only .au sound files are usable on the internet.

All mine are .wav files and I need to know how to convert to .au

Can anyone help??

Re: help! help!! How to make .au files in Microsoft Sound Record

Well, that simple sound recorder can't
convert it(So far as I know, it can convert into MP3 too!!)

There is a Sound Recorder(Should be sound editor) called Goldwave. It can edit MP3 sounds, wave sound and a lot more including Sun Format(*.au)!!

Goldwave homepage: WWW.goldwave.com

Re: help! help!! How to make .au files in Microsoft Sound Record

To the guy that needs help.
hey man I wAs having the exact same problems.
You can get programs to convert .wav files to .au files.
but they usually cost a bit.

TO put sound on your page:

change both of the example.mid and replace it with the sound file you want it play.
<blockquote>
<EMBED SRC="example.mid" AUTOSTART="TRUE" LOOP="TRUE" WIDTH="145" HEIGHT="60" ALIGN="CENTER">
<NOEMBED>
<BGSOUND SRC="example.mid" LOOP="10">
</NOEMBED>
</EMBED>

this is guaranteed to work. I am using it on my site at the moment. hope you find this usefull.
please email me back and let me know how you find it.

CONVERTING CD MUSIC TO MIDI? IS IT POSSIBLE?

HELP!
IM WONDERING IS IT POSSIBLE TO CONVERT MUSIC FROM AN AUDIO CD TO MIDI FILES.IF SO IS THERE A PROGRAM I CAN DOWNLOAD AND WHERE CAN I FIND IT???
PLEASE HELP ME

Re: CONVERTING CD MUSIC TO MIDI? IS IT POSSIBLE?

: HELP!
: IM WONDERING IS IT POSSIBLE TO CONVERT MUSIC FROM AN AUDIO CD TO MIDI FILES.IF SO IS THERE A PROGRAM I CAN DOWNLOAD AND WHERE CAN I FIND IT???
: PLEASE HELP ME

Basically the answer to your question is no. Audio data and midi data are different. Midi data contains only the information needed to control an instrument. Audio data is a direct representation of the sound.

Your question is difficult to answer without knowing why you want to convert audio to midi, there are programs that sort of do this, but you will not get the midi file to play back and sound exactly the same as the audio cd. ( unless you have considerable monetry and time resources )

I doubt that helps you much so email me or post a reply to this and I will try and help you out.

If you want to convert any music to mp? you use the
same program but you have to convert the wave with
a spec. mp? program.

Rewire Problems

When I try to record a channel in Cubase from Rebirth there's no sound when I play back. It looks like it has recorded as the Red bar appears on the audio track but no wave shows on wave editor or anything. I have engaged the Rewire channels, so that shouldn't be the problem. It's getting quite frustrating. Has anyone run into the same problem or have a solution? It would be appreciated.

Music Time Deluxe Install

I bought MusicTime Deluxe, ver 3.0 for Windows last year.
I have the CD and the Start-Up guide. I tried to
reinstall it on a new hard drive ( old one died) and
it asks for a serial number from the registration card!
! I don't know where registration card is. I have the
midi cable and original box but no registration card.
Would anyone have a valid sn# I could plug in? I would
really appreciate it very much. I have not had any
success getting in touch with Passport Designs. I think they
are out of buisness
Thanks alot,,,Desperate, Randy Lamb

Minidisc to PC to MD all in Digital Broadcast Quality

Hello All,

I'm a radio journalist and want to bring my work home, sad isn't it.

At the moment I'm recording audio on a Sony MZ-R50 (minidisc portable recorder) with a Sony stereo digital mic which is producing some great interviews.

What I want to do is then load it onto the computer. Mix it with sound effects and put it back onto mini disc still in digital quality.

At the moment I'm using a bog standard audio card and now want to do it properly.

Any suggestions as to what set up I should look for ? I'm guessing I need something with a good digital output and digital input.

The mini disc has an optical digital input connector if that helps.

My main priority is a minimal loss of quality so its still in broadcast quality.

Many Thanxs.

Richard Midson

PLEASE LOOK!!!!!!!!!

ur radio station is sooooooo cool

Re: Minidisc to PC to MD all in Digital Broadcast Quality

ur radio station is sooooooo cool

Re: Minidisc to PC to MD all in Digital Broadcast Quality

Good luck. As you probably already know, There's not a lot of information available in this subject.

You hasve several options available to you:

1. you can use a stereo mini plug cable to connect your md player to your existing sound card. Use the sound card software to record it in waveto your pc sound card.You can then record using your sound card software but this will probably be only in .wav format. There are some freeebies on zdnet that might let you erecord in mp3 format, I don;t know much about them.

2. Sony makes a digital interfaxce and software (PXLK-md1) that will connect many of their portable Mds.

3. At www.czechin.com, they offer a digital interface (software and hardware fora little less than the Sony offering. I can't vouch for the quality, but it looks promising.

4. Get a digital sound card. unless your playrer has a digital output port, this probably won't help out much. most regular players have digital in and out, and this is the option I have chosen, but haven;t implememted yet.

5. You could spend days searching the web for a better solution.

I prefer the md format for recording and want to transfer the recorded mds to cds, because all my vehicles, etc. have cd players,not md players.I even bought a cd-md recorder but it only goes cd to md, not back. I'd buy an internal md player in a heartbeat if one were available, but I can't find one. I read an article somewhere that said that Sharp was manufacturing a
a md to pc interface using a usb port, buy I can't find any mention of it elsewhere.

Sorry I can't be of more help.
