drum machine/pc midi interfacing

hello, recently i invested in an alesis DMPro, am very new to the midi/pc stuff, and have had no luck in establishing or recognizing a midi port on my pc. i spoke with tech support at alesis and was assured even a "crappy sound card" would be sufficient to interface, but i'm not completely satisfied that mine will work. any suggestions or points in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. thanks

What "crappy sound card" do you have right now? It sounds like you are having a driver problem or your Alesis is not set up correctly to recieve MIDI. A real MIDI interface with real drivers would solve your problems.

Re: Help needed on a MT-200 by Roland.........

what seems to be the problem

It sounds like a calliope

Very new to midi files. On every file I've
downloaded the sound reminds me of a circus. Even
when I isolate the string section, is sounds like
an organ instead of a violin. Is this due to the
reproductive capabilities of midi files, or the
limitations of my system's playback capabilities?

Thanks, in advance

The sounds are generated by your pc's soundcard.
New soundcards like the soundblaster live have quite good sounds
made from actual recordings of notes from real instruments.
The adventurous can actually make their own presets.
Your problem with the 'organ' sound of the strings could be a combination of a crappy set of midi files (not unusual)
and a not-very-clever soundcard.
To try the existing soundfonts which are in your soundcard, why not download some sequencing software and play each sound?

(cubase vst 24) PLEASE HELP A NEWBIE!!!

[The body of this post has been lost]

Re: (cubase vst 24)

Noisy punchin's used to be a problem with cheesy mixing desks generating a 'clack' sound when you unmuted the mute botton or pressed the record enable on the recorder. It was usually down to the quality of the equipment you were using, generating a unrequired surge of energy of it's own. Sometimes however, it was when you punched in with a noisy signal input, try gating the input. Also, try punching in as earlier as you can and do it when the track is quiet.

You could edit them out afterwards but it's probably more of a pain than you want.

Good Luck

white noise

where can i buy a white noise machine or pink noise...
I want to use it to get that store CD sound.

words to oldie

Have no idea if this is the proper site to ask such questions, but here goes anyway. I am looking for the words (or even the name) of an oldie. Some of the lyrics are, IM GONNA SIT RIGHT DOWN AND WRITE MYSELF A LETTER AND MAKE BELIEVE IT CAME FROM YOU, IM GONNA WRITE IT OH SO SWEET, ITS GONNA KNOCK ME OFF MY FEET, A LOT OF KISSES AT THE BOTTOM, WILL I BE GLAD I GOT EM........I am loking for ALL of the words. If this is the wrong site, perhaps someone would know where I should go. As I know neither the title or the author or the performer, I have no idea where to look. Thanks.

Re: words to What Am I Gonna Do by Smith

I'm gonna sit right down
And write myself a letter
And make believe it came from you
I'm gonna write things oh so sweet
They're gonna knock me off me feet
A lot of kisses at the bottom
Aren't you glad I got 'em.

I'm gonna write and say
I hope you're feeling better
And close with love the way you do
I'm gonna sit right down
And write myself a letter
And make believe it came from you.

Telephone microphone

What steps do I need to take to get my microphone working tso I can call & talk from my computer? It dials out ok from the phone dialer, but I hear no one I call. I know I got through to the person because they called me back wondering why I called. Also, after dialing, the only way I can close the dialer is to press the Ctrl-Alt-Del buttons. My computer is a NEC Ready 9732. Thanks for the chance to even ask someone. I'm a real novice on computers.

Editing recorded environment to remove tunnel sound

Is there any new or existing software available for basic pcs that will allow 3d sound, environment or stage settings so that sound recorded using a microphone as WAV or other compatible sound file doesn't sound like a tunnel?

SoftSynth Beta Tester Wanted

We are developing a softsynth for the PC Windows platform.

This is being designed to appeal to keyboard players, (as opposed to our
other softsynth which is more for techno trackers).

Another beta tester to help evaluate it is badly needed. In exchange for
beta testing you get a free version and a credit in the app. Also you can
contribute ideas and presets.

If this sounds fun to you, and you...

- Are a keyboard player with a MIDI setup.

- Own a Windows system at least 250 mhz with a true, (non-emulated),
DirectSound driver.

- Have decent sound monitors so you can evaluate quality.

- Have some experience with analog synthesizers, (the more the better).

...then please contact me directly - dbillen@home.com

Music Software

Hi, does anyone know if there is any software that will write sheet music from a wav file? If so, where I could find it? Thanks so much!

Re: Music Software

Convert Audio to midi with AMAZINGMIDI available on this site, then use somthing like finale or cubase score to do the rest.

No such beast.

: Hi, does anyone know if there is any software that will write sheet music from a wav file? If so, where I could find it? Thanks so much!

Sorry, there ain't no such beast. It's the same as asking for a program that can put recordings of people talking into typewritten pages.

Music is a language, and it's just as hard (or just as easy, depending on how you look at it) as learning to understand and write any spoken language. There are no real shortcuts to this process. Computers are still way to primitive for such complexity.

Yeah it is true. there is no software to convert wave files into music sheet.

Digital audio files

Hi

Could someone guide me, which single software can be used
to create digital audio files in various formats
like wav, au, mp3, ra, ram.

Thanks

Rashid

Look under Wav Editors

All wav editors use multiple file formats and can therfore convert too.

IF you need one for mass conversion, get one with a batch processing feature.

Re: Digital audio files

Try downloading cool edit 2000 demo version
and checking it out. I used it to convert mp3 data
files to wav files and wave files to mp3 files. also
used it to convert my own recordings from 48000 khz
sampling rate to 44100 16 bit with no snags so I could
record them on cd. I will probably wind up buying
i liked it so much.

Question Re: Quicktime Musical Instuments (Mac)

Does anyone know of a way to replace the MIDI sounds in QT4.x with better ones (without doing the obvious and using an external module)? I seem to be the only one, but I think the built-in sounds are atrocious. I've searched around and can't seem to find any info on the subject. Any help would be much appreciated.
