Deleting Track 5/ Power Track MIDI program

I downloaded a MIDI file from a Pipe Organ MIDI page. Track 5 is often used for registration information and the writer of the web page says for people with sound cards to delete Track 5. Does anyone know if the Power Track Audio program will delete Track 5 of a MIDI file ? I do not want to spend almost $100 for Cakewalk if I do not have to just to edit one downloaded MIDI file.

At the top of the program there is a pull down menu called track in it has erase .
click on the track you wish to delete and then when it is hilited go to Track at the top
of the program and click on Track. and then click on erase. this will erase the track
and the contents in it. then save your program on top of the old one this should do it
for you . you have to have the tracks open, then one that shows all the tracks and if
there is any contents in them. if you look to the side there will be a number. for
instance say 342 , if there is no number there there is nothing in the track. if there is a
name on the track but no contents in it you can delete it this way. cakewalk is about
the same way as power trace as for as deleting a track
you would be wasting your money and time to buy it to delete a track. you might
have the same problem figuring it out.

recommendations for software, please?

Hi. I'm about to purchase a computer and I'd like to get some software that would allow me to sing and record into my computer. How much RAM should I look for for this type of software? I should add that I don't read music (yet)and I don't have a keyboard (yet). I'm looking for guidance on software that others have used, user-friendly and don't cost an arm and a leg.

When I was in school, there was a system that allowed us to record from audio components, and add voice I think. It was relatively easy to use.

I can spend about $2,000-3,000 on the whole computer system, and I also want a scanner, color printer and perhaps some other things.
Thanks

Re: recommendations for software, please?

Computer Reconmedations:

Get a Pentium III Processor atleast 550MHz
Do not get an Athlon processor

128Megs of Ram at least
Hard drive: 30GB or more
The little extra you spend for the better hard drive and the extra RAM is worth it.
Try to get as much megs of RAM as possible.
Same for the hard drive, as many GB as possible.
Also, it's good to have a CD/RW drive installed, for obvious reasons.

Hope I could help

Re: recommendations for software, please?

you are going to want as much ram as you can get, as for software, cakewalk has some good products, i also use digital orchestrator, but i perfer cakewalk

need a driver

I just downloaded JAZZ II Midi Sequencer to my Compaq 7360, running Windows 98. It says I need a different driver than what I have. What do I need and where do I find it? This is all still relatively new to me even though I've been in the music biz since 1975. I would really appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Is it possible to record LONG audio takes digitally?

Everytime I try to record more than 10-15 minutes of audio into my computer(cubase VST or soundforge), I always seem to get a few small clicks or pops that can sometimes ruin a good recording(they happen about every 15 minutes or so). I have defragmented my hard drive and I'm using a very high quality audio card. Does anybody know how to prevent this or what may be causing these imperfections?

Re: Is it possible to record LONG audio takes digitally?

there are a lot of things that could be causing it, more than likeley you are using a lot of your system resources, wich would cause some small clicks to occour, also if you are using windows, and some sound cards will occasionally get clicks, but that usually is more of a constant thing, not just once every 15 minutes. to corect this, pinpoint the trouble sots and get a good digital audio editor such as Sound Forge, or whatevey you have and just slide it around a little bit untill it sounds right, just be creative with it, and don't worry if it dosen't sound exactally as you would wish, because sometimes it will sound better than if it came out the way you wanted it to

Software and Hardware...

Most music shops that deal in pro-audio will help you with pro-tools although it has to be said that because it's software and hardware based and aimed at the highest professional, it's very expensive. You could have a look at the Digi001 PCI card and audio interface which comes with the Pro-Tools Lite version and will work without any additional hardware.

Cheers

Adlib music synthesizer card

I have recently come across this card for which i have no drivers, apparently it requires the 'jukebox playback program'. Serial Number 170961 model 900808. This originated in 1990!!! Any suggestions? (besides the bin)

Thanks

yes I got it any gigasampler exchange?

Re: Adlib music synthesizer card

I used to have an Adlib card. You dont need any drivers as far as I know, if for Win, then windows should come with them. I used to use the ADLIB with DOS and never needed a driver. The jukebox playback program was just a demonstration of the adlib capabilities. Its mainly used for DOS software that used FM synth. DOS software will autodetect it of let you select it as a sound output device.

Cakewalk Pro 6 short audio?

Yes I know I am late, but I just started to mess with the audio in Cakewalk Pro 6.0. When I record, it will only let me record just slightly over 1 minute of audio on 1 track. I have tried changing the buffers and polyphony and the recording time only improved by a few seconds. My computer has 64MB of RAM, a 5 Gig Hard Drive. What am I doing wrong? Help!

How long should it take to make a cd?

What is the average amount of time it should take to make an 74 minute audio cd? I have tried music match & it took and hour. I also have easy cd creator but haven't figured it out yet. Is winamp faster? Please help!!!

Re: How long should it take to make a cd?

Winamp doesn't make CDs. What speed is your burner? The slower the burner, the slower the CD will take. If your burner is 2x, then nearly an hour makes sense. Do yourself a favor, though, get rid of that adaptec crap and use nero, much easier, more versatile, and a helluva lot more reliable. If your writer is faster than 2x, try Nero and see if works quicker. Luck.

normalization

i just recorded this composition live, all in one take, and there are certain parts which are louder than others. the composition is 45 minutes long and i don't want to have to seacrh through it myself and manually correct these errors. i've heard normalization software can do the job for me.

am i right about this?

if i am, what software do you recommend?

Re: normalization

Compress it first to reduce the high sections and make them equal to the low sections. Afterwards, when you have a fairly uniform level throughout, then 'normalize' to raise the overall loudness until it is just hitting peak.

Compression.

I would have thought that you should try compressing the sound with an audio compressor. A limiter could also work depending on the content of the Audio. An audio compressor is a standard tool for dealing with this sort of situation and it may improve the tracks listenability, trust me. It's worth a go.

Steve...

Re: normalization

I don't know what the name of it is (tip of my tongue), but go to download.com, select MP3/Audio section, and then take MP3 Insider. This will give a list of recent articles in the mp3 column, and one of them clearly deals with this specifically, with software names and all. Hope it helps.
