Install SoundForge to export audio to MIDI.

Re: MUSIC PARTITURES FOR MY CLARINET !!!

It really can't be done. MIDI is different; .wav files or CDAudio tracks can't convert but MIDI has no sound; it uses the samples in your sound card or MIDI player to follow instructions to produce sounds.

I wish it was possible to do what you're asking, I really do.

records to CDs

I would like to convert some of my old records to CD. What is the best way to do this?

Re: records to CDs

What Ive done to convert my vinyl to CDs is first get
a Y split cable, two normal sized RCA jacks on
one end and one mini jack (like a walkman) on the
other end.
I run the two normal RCA jacks from an available
output in my stereo and the mini jack into my sound
card on my computer so my stereo is now playing
through my comp speakers. Then to record the vinyl
track(s) as a wav I use Adaptec CD Spin Doctor which
has a vinyl filter. It also has a feature that
detects silences between tracks if you want to
record a whole album but mostly its useless because
lots of songs have silences, or low volume bits
that the program thinks is a silence so it can
chop your song up.I usually do it one song at
a time or just later piece the song back together
with Soundforge.

I use the same process as Frank. To split the tracks I use ACID WAV to manually insert silence into the wav file and then run it through Spin Doctor in EASY CD Creator and let it split the tracks up.

Sound Designer II

I have a Hacked version of Sound Designer II ver.2.8

Or is there another way to make compatible?

Rebirth/Logic master needed

I'm running Logic Platinum 4.1 on a G4 mac. (spot the rich boy... where? not me!)

I can't get Rebirth to sync to Logic. If I start up Rebirth after Logic, I'm asked for some VST thing? What does this mean?
What do I use in the arrange window? Audio instrument? What settings/preferences do I need?

Also, Rebirth on it's own, I can't get it to route out of the Audiowerks8 card - it just comes out the mac speaker.

Are all my aspirations for stardom futile? Please help.
Ben

not a master, but logic and rebirth together works

ho, ben:

okay, i had problems at first getting rebirth to work with logic gold. here's what you should do.

1. start logic first, then rebirth.
2. you should see two special looking audio channels beneath all the normal ones on the default song setup.
3. go under channels, and scroll down to your desired sound. note that you have to allocate two separate channels for the left and right audio if you plan to do stereo effects with rebirth.

if you still can't get it to work, e-mail me.

keep shining!

What is meaning of .midi files?

Recently I've noticed (when downloading .mid files) that the extension is often '.midi.' (Yes, 4 letters) Is this to confuse my sequencer and cause havoc or is there a better reason?

How to create.kar files.

(PC) I know a lot about midi. How do I create .kar files? What program? Can the Cakewalk lyrics somehow be saved/converted as a .kar file? How do some mid files have lyrics attached to them? Greetings from Canada.

removing lyrics

please tell me how i can remove lyrics from songs and tracks thank you

Re: removing lyrics

Found this:

you can effectively strip the lead vocals of most tracks by messing about with the phasing of the left and right channels. As most vocals tend to be panned dead centre simply flip the phase of one of the channels and sum both left and right into one mono wave file. The vocals (and probably the bass drum !!) will dissappear. With a little joggery pokery you can use this info to remove the vocal performance from the original stereo file. With a little fiddling and figuring out what is going on you should be able to create an "anti" vocal (one that is 90degrees out of phase with the centre of the stereo file) and then reduce the gain of this one and finally add it to the original stereo wave to REDUCE the level of the vocal. If you also do a bit of eqing on the anti-vocal so that it contains nothing below 120hz, you may just leave some of the bass drum and bass guitars in the track

Fruity Loops to make rap instrumentals

Anyone have any idea how I can start making rap
instrumentals with Fruity Loops? I have no idea where

demo version sounds like techno or something. If I get
a drummachine/piano keyboard to press on would that
create better sounds in the Fruity Loops software? Help.

Re: Fruity Loops to make rap instrumentals

set the pace at 95 instead of 140, that helps a lot, and make sure to use three bases and one or two instruments and then like 2 drums and that is all
