Re: cubasis av

: when I launch cubasis on my mac i get the following message
: "couldn`t create native audio engine" Any know what this means?

Yes it means your transponder rate = 55 = which in real terms means I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about.

Re: cubasis av

: : when I launch cubasis on my mac i get the following messages

"There is no translator available for this audio information"

Anyone know what this means?

Is there a wave editor usable under LINUX ?

I mean something equivalent to Soundforge, Wavelab or cool edit

Convert Midi to WAV

Let's say a total musical novice is trying to convert a MIDI file to a WAV file. He's downloaded several popular programs for doing so, but is totally baffled because he keeps getting the message that PRG files are missing. Help file isn't. Tech support doesn't.

He knows he isn't the first one who wants this info.

What is he missing? Where should he turn?

music time

I've just tried to install a new copy of music time; although I have installed the right fonts the display is not right-notes don't come out as notes, bar lines are broken and time signatures are not centred on the staves. Anyone know why?

Perhaps your printer ports are incorrect. Try some guitar midi file download sites that discuss this. Start with Guitar Salon.

Good Mixing Software?

I like to create "mixed" CD-Rs (all the selections are segued together) of wav. files ripped from my CD collection. I have been using MULTIQUENCE to do this, and find it to be decent software. But it has a few deficiencies and I would like to try out some alternative software.

I don't need anything too complicated. These CD-Rs are for me and my friends, etc. I just want to be able to easily mix music, control the volumes (Mutiquence allows this, but the interface is quite inexact), and save the final mix to a wav. file.

Any suggestions are appreciated, as are e-mail responses.

Many thanks.

Re: Good Mixing Software?

best i have found is'cool edit pro'very clean and easy, only problem $399

Cool Edit 96

Anyone know of a plug-in for Cool Edit 96 that will allow it to support MP3's? I have one for MPEG layer 1 and 2 but not 3. E-mail me if you have one or know where I can find one. Much Thanks.

Re: Cool Edit 96

Check their website www.syntrillium.com. They have a mp3 filter.

and delete everything in section [CDDB].
That's it.

Sound Cards...

Hello, I'm wondering what sound card you all would recommend...

arseonick

Re: Sound Cards...

Maxi Studio ISIS is your best value for money if you want to record multiple inputs and have a great sampler.

Re: Sound Cards...

I think the best option would be GadcetLabs !
Check out www.gadgetlabs.com
Thw wave/4 is wery good and ceap . It can be compared with Event cards but it is cheaper !
And it has 4 ins and 4 outs . Darla &Gina have only 2 ins . Wave/4 also has midi !
In case you have ANY questions feel free to mail me !

Event !!

For pure audio the EVENT series are a dream,
but have no internal MIDI-Synth.
Opinion: These soundcards are used in the
best studios of the world.
I recommend it for musicians.
For gamers you can use a Soundblaster.
Also both (Event + Soundblaster) is possible.
For Info see link below.

Cool edit pro setup

Does anyone have the setup file for cool edit pro full version. after copying the folder from one machine to another it keeps asking to run setup again. Any ideas?

Re: Cool edit pro setup

Mark, you cannot just copy a windows application to another computer and expect it to work. You need the information stored in the registry, .ini
files and stuff in the Windows\System folder.
The way to do it is to use something like Cleansweep Uninstaller which can trace all of the component program parts and transfer them to another machine.

converting *.wav to *.mat (matlab data) and vice-versa

cataloguing manuscripts

Help! I am cataloguing the unpublished music of a local musician (over 300 pieces) and was wondering if there is some kind of software out there that would be appropriate for this job. I need to be able to catalog a wide variety of manuscripts--everything from simple acclamations to full symphonies--and include historical notes for each.

Cubase Score VST 3.55 manual....

Hi. I've just gotten my hands on a copy of Cubase Score VST.
I'm looking for someone who can tell me how certain things work.
For example the drums, how to get the right sound without converting it to a midi track,
It would also be nice to know how to use the inputs and effects.
In other words, I would really like to get the manual, or something like that.

Thanks

GENERATOR-time lag

I am getting a significant time lag when working with generator (between hitting a key on the midi keyboard and hearing the sound). Is this normal? Is there a way to make it more responsive? I have a guillemot homestudio pro soundcard.
Thanks

Right click on your audio-in module and choose properties.
In this menu you can change you audio settings.
Make sure to use a DirectX audio driver and reduce the latency time until your response is as fast as possible.(my time lag is down to 30 ms, which is virtually nil)
Good luck...

GENERATOR SOFT SYNTH

I just want to know if you can use generator with a sequencer like cubase and come up with a good result. Is that possible if you´re system is a 166 pentium? I also want to know what kind of soundcard you need to get a decent result...and finally is the program worth buying?

Generator is a musician's wet dream, and yes, it runs fine with a sequencer.
The fun is that you can assign different instruments to each MIDI channel.
Of course there is a downside to this magnificent program, it needs a lot of CPU power so the Pentium 166 is a bit slow.
Have you tried the demo yet? If not download it and see how it works for you.
I'd seriously consider upgrading to a faster CPU if I were you (but then again I'm not..)
Any decent soundcard will do, if you buy you get an extra dedicated soundcard for use with Generator ONLY.
try it and love it...:)

Ok...so what cpu do you use ? How many instruments can you use with the sequencer simultaneously?

Re: GENERATOR SOFT SYNTH

: Ok...so what cpu do you use ? How many instruments can you use with the sequencer simultaneously?

I use an AMD K6-2 300 CPU, i'd recommend using Intel though.
(the faster the better,possibly the cheapest solution would be using an overclocked Celeron 300 Cpu, this is not the safest thing to do, but in some cases you can clock them as high as 400 or even 450)
Polyphony depends on the complexity of the instrument and the samplerate. This means that with one instrument you may get 16 note polyphony at 44.1 MHz but using a very complex instrument you may end up with a monosynth...
Generally it's possible on my system to use say 4 Generator instruments simultaneously, of which 2 are monophonous (a bassline and a lead synth), and the other 2 are 3-part polyphonous (strings&pads).
You'll have to do a lot of experimenting to find out what Generator can do...

Steinberg B.Box Drum Addon Pack

Hi everyone!

I've been looking for this addon pack for ages and have had no luck so far. I believe it's an independently released pack of drum kit ubf files for the program
(No Dave, Steinberg didn't release this and it's not commercially available so you can piss off now...).
It's a whopping 31 Mb, but I'm desperate to find it. If anyone has it, can you email me? We'll discuss. The
RB-338 Addon pack 3 and 4 would also be nice. Thanks everyone. Ciao,

eqpik

Vari speed playback of MP3's ?

Is there a way of playing mp3 audio files at half speed while maintaining the same pitch? This would be invaluable for transcription/analysis of improvised music. I have heard of some hardware based solutions, obviously I would prefer a software solution.
Any ideas or help appreciated
