How to convert from S3M to WAV or MP3

Posted by groo on Wed, 09/01/1999 - 03:48.

Important:

If anyone out there knows of a program to convert from S3M to WAV or MPx format, I would be forever grateful.

Winamp reads them, but it won't convert them (or save as).

Thank you.

Does anyone know how to convert a file from MIDI to WAV or MP3?

Re: How to convert from MIDI to WAV or MP3

Posted by Yes! on Sat, 12/22/2001 - 13:43.

You can't! Midi is synth controller/player data, WAV & MP# is sound data! Sorry!

when you burn your wav file on a cd it converts it into a cda file. all you need to do is make shur its a wav file and the cd berner will do the rest. if you still don't understand just e-mail me and i will explain it more.

Re: Why can't i get a straight answer on this??? WAV to CDA!!!

Posted by eq2001 on Thu, 08/09/2001 - 22:07.

Just Use A Standard Burning Prog Like EZ CD Creator. Choose New AUDIO CD And Drag & Drop Basic Audio Files (Wav, MP3) On To Your Playlist. Burn The Motha!!! Or Using WaveLab 3
Create A New CD Program. Open Some Wavs And Click And Drag The Wierd Squiggly Button On The Very Top Of The Wav Window, (Next To Minimixe, Close), To The CD Program Window.

looking for a MP3 player to play selection

Posted by Tim on Tue, 08/31/1999 - 17:50.

I need an MP3 player that can be commanded (perhaps via command line argument) to play only a section of a MP3 file. For example, you invoke it with the name of the MP3 and tell it to play starting 20 seconds in, for 10 seconds then close (or maybe loop). Anyone have any ideas if there is such a thing?
Worst case we could use a player that supports playing intro slices...

thanks

Accessing the Inputs of a Mutli Track Recorder

Posted by Bill on Tue, 08/31/1999 - 14:08.

Hello!

I have a Power mac. G3 (OS 8.6) and have connected to it a multi-track recorder (Layla - by Echo). I am writing some software and need to acceess each of the eight inputs available on the Layla. However, I am having difficulty doing so. I am using QuickTIme 4 and can only access one of the inputs. Also, QT 4 allows me to obtain the number of channels available on the device and rather than 8, it indicates only 2. Does anyone know how I could access each of these eight inputs?

Thanks in Advance!

Loop driver - where to download from?

Posted by Alex on Tue, 08/31/1999 - 09:02.

Where can I download loop driver from? I mean a driver which connects MIDI in and MIDI out and allows the sequenser to record MIDI music being played by another programme which runs on the same computer. Does there exist such drivers for DOS?

There are plenty for windows like Hubi's LoopBack but I don't recall one for DOS. If they do exist you would most likely find them at <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/dos/Popular_Formats/MIDI/">http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/dos/Popular_Formats/MIDI/</a>

midi notation software

I think "Note Worthy Composer" is on of the
best programs for importing midis.(www.nworthy.com)

For guitarists there are two programs that
support midi import:
1.Tabledit --> www.Tabledit.com

2.Guitar pro --> www.guitar-pro.com

WinNT Softsynths?

Posted by Ed on Mon, 08/30/1999 - 20:52.

There seem to be a lot of soft synths for Win95/98, but I am using Windows NT. Are there any soft synths available for NT?

Most of the Softsynths for 95/98 should run under NT. Try downloading some from <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/win95/Computer_Synths_Sound_Generators/Synths/">http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/win95/Computer_Synths_Sound_Generators/Synths/</a>

macintosh: tape to cdr

Posted by pjl on Mon, 08/30/1999 - 19:16.

I wish to transfer audio files from tape to CDR without first creating an intermediate AIFF file on my hard drive, and then burning this file. I have two questions:

1. I understand that "Spin Doctor" will do this. Could you explain how this works?
2. Is this true--I just bought a CDR recorder, bundled with Toast (but not Spin Doctor). As I understand it, one route I could take is to buy Spin Doctor, but this comes in a $99 package with Toast.

My question is: could you advise me as about alternate software that does Spin Doctor's function with Toast?

Thanks

Re: macintosh: tape to cdr

Posted by Bob Risacher on Thu, 03/15/2001 - 18:05.

I believe that you can do it with SoundJam MP. I'm not sure if the free version will do it or not but its worth a try. You can get it on the C & G web site. Try www.cassadyg.com

Soft Synth users - A question.

Posted by Shorty Edwards on Mon, 08/30/1999 - 01:25.

Hello,
I am trying to get a better handle on all the hub-bub re: soft synths.
1) Which are the one's you're using and do you like it?
2) How is it integrated into your system? Did you have to jump through hoops to get it working with your sequencer?
3) What sequencers are you using it with if any?
4) Is it better/worse/comparable to working with a piece of hardware?

Thanks for any info.

Re: Soft Synth users - A question.

Posted by Geoff @ Hitsquad on Mon, 08/30/1999 - 04:34.

Hello there,

I use SimSynth for making sounds which can be streamed to wav. Then it's just a matter of putting them into Acid. I guess I'm keeping things pretty simple but it works for me.
You'll find the latest version of SimSynth <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/SimSynth2/">here</a>. Or the older freeware version <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/SimSynth/">here</a>.

Cheers

CD-to-CDR

Posted by Ray on Sun, 08/29/1999 - 06:49.

I am using Adaptec to burn CDR's, but for "direct" CD-to-CD writing, i can only use 1x speed... (rather than the 4x write speed, which my CD-R is capable, e.g. for harddrive-to-CD writing).

Does anyone know a CDR program that copies CD-to-CD directly, reliably (no buffer underrun) and fast (at 4x write), with an option for choosing tracks??

[i have a PII 333MHz 64Mb computer].
