Re: Transposing Music using Software

: Many of the songs I play to accompany our congregation on the organ are written in a higher key than is comfortable for many people to sing. Is there any software out there that will allow me to scan music and then have the software program transpose it to a lower key so that I don't have to rewrite everything?

Scan & Transpose features in the following software:

<a href="/smm/programs/SmartScore/">SmartScore</a> (Windows)
<a href="/smm/programs/SmartScore_mac/">SmartScore</a> (Macintosh)
Retails for $399

Best of luck.

shutdown computer

I whant to ask if anybody knows which file, when it runs, shutdown the computer. I whant the exactly run file.

Re: shutdown computer

: I whant to ask if anybody knows which file, when it runs, shutdown the computer. I whant the exactly run file.

The file you ask for is rundll32.exe for win98, but you can't shutdown the computer clicking on it. Howewer if you follow the easy steps I'll tell, you can get what you want. Firsly right click on desktop and select shortcut from the new menu. In the command line box (whithout quatas) exactly write:
"C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL32.EXE user,ExitWindows"
Then select next and give a name to the shortcut (ex:shutdown windows). Thats all. When you double click your new shortcut from desktop, windows will shutdown immediately.

Re: Hey Regulars! Whats in your setup???

What do you think of the MC303 as a sequencer / synth? What about the Prophet 600? I've been thinking about a new synth lately.'

Neptune303

Re: Hey Regulars! Whats in your setup???

Its pretty good I got it a few years ago before all my other gear.It has some cool sounds and the sequencer is pretty good.
The Prophet 600 kicks it was made in 81 and was the first synth with MIDI. It's analogue/digital hybrid.

Re: Hey Regulars! Whats in your setup???

Well, I dont' have much, audio for me is
primarily an inteerset in technique, and a
drive to work in the music business, be it
studio, or a live situation.

basically I have a
P300
64 MB Ram
13 GB Hard dsik
SB LIve
HP CD burner

I believe analog has it's use, but the way to go is digital, and
all synthesis and processing is done digitally,
using various programs for different functions, as needed.

I mostly fool around remixing, and am attemptting
to start a multimedia production company including
printing, audio/video/internet production, but
primarily based around audio.

Regular setups...

Hi,

I expect there are a lot of different setups here. From the questions, it sound a lot like its mainly PC with sound cards and ther occasional sampler, although I know a few of the regular 'question answerers' are a little more advanced. I have a combination of Acoustic and Midi/digi-audio in my setup.

VS880
Roland W30 (SCSI)
Roland D110
Yamaha EX5R c/w 32 Megs RAM and ZIP
Behringer 26/4/2
Digitech Studio Quad FX
Macintosh G4/400 Running Logic Audio Plat. + various editing and composing progs' with Midi man USB (Just about to get an Audiowerk 2 PCI pro audio card).
Fender LX and 1965 classical Oskar tella
8 different Mics ranging from Realistic PZM to RODE NT2 large diaphragm condensor.
Audio based and a Computer based CD burner's
Various bits and bobs, percussion etc...

I don't know what sort of music I do really, it's often collaborative so it varies so much.
Check out this site as it has a Forum that some of us go to. It's new so it could do with some more attendants. Gearhead and me have started it up (although gearhead has done all the hard bits!), he has his music on offer for free download and is into collaboration. There is also the opportunity to link to the site with your own free site. It's starting to grow, get involved! More explained at the forum, CU there!
