: Dudes,
: I am looking for source code in any language but preferably C++, Java or VB of an MP3 player with an equilizer. If anyone knows please email me at sajjad@kuentos.guam.net

: Thnks,

: Sajjad

I'm not sure if it's what you need but <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/Mikeys_mp3_Player/">Mikey's MP3 Player</a> includes DLL engine source code.

On the other hand while this might be a bit of overkill you will find MPEG & MP3 routines in the <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/PlayerPRO_Developer_Kit_mac/">PlayerPRO Developer Kit</a> - it's in C but it's intended for Mac.

: The Maganda Piano Soundfont blows all the rest away!!
: you gotta hear it to believe it.

This is a forum for musicians to discuss the world of music as it relates to computers.

We really don't mind companies answering questions, giving advice etc. but please try to be a little more subtle.

For example you could have said "Please check out my new piano soundfont and let me know if you like it" and by the amateurish look of your website we might have thought you were genuine :)

: IM PLANNING TO BUY A ROLAND EM10 OR EM20 that has No Floppy Disk Drive built-in. If I want to save keyboard settings, How do i save it ? What are my options???? Thanks!

The EM10 is basically an entry level keyboard so it
doesn't have all the features of more advanced equipment
but it does have MIDI IN/OUT so it might be possible to
save your settings via a SysEx dump to a PC - you could
try a program like <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/XG_GS_SYSEX/">XG/GS SYSEX</a>

The best thing to do would be to ask one of the stores
that sell this keyboard - I'm pretty sure you'll find
it at <a href="http://www.musiciansfriend.com">musiciansfriend.com</a>

: where can i find it ???

: HI I WILL LIKE TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT CHORDS. SUCH AS JAZZ CHORDS. PLEASE HELP ME TO FIND FREE DOWNLOADS OR FREEWARE ABOUT THIS MATTER.

: THANKS

Here's a few things you can look at:
<li><a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/cgi/htdig/htsearch.cgi?config=htdig&restrict=%2Fsmm%2Fprograms%2F&exclude=&method=and&format=builtin-long&words=chord">Search results for 'chord'</a>
<li><a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/cat/MUSIC_TUITION/">Music Tuition Software</a> - has many useful programs
<li><a href="http://www.GuitarSite.com/chords.htm">GuitarSite.com - Chords</a> - heaps of good info (mainly for guitarists)

Forget all the hype, it doesn't work... If you want to try for yourself then have a look in the Karaoke folder, in the file area on this site and download a program to be disappointed with.

: Every time I quit using Napster 2.0 beta7 and indeed exit the program, it immediately starts to reload itself! I can't get rid of it!

: Do you know where this problem comes from?

: Thanks!

Try downloading it again and re-install it on your
computer to see if that fixes it.

This should do the trick

: I'm looking for a way to convert mp2's to mp3's...any ideas?

Most high tech Software multi trackers have some decent wave editing ability as well as the more obvious ability to Multitrack Audio and Midi information, process it with FX and do almost anything with it, and more. I use Logic Audio Platinum (which is optimised for the G4) on a G4 with 256megs of Ram . I managed 24 'stereo' tracks (48 then) on the bare machine using the internal HD, which is a great luxury. I expect you would get similar performance from Cubase VST. I have a song at the moment that is using 21 tracks of audio and I have about 17 Pluggins and about 11 inline Eq's and there is still a lot of headroom, worth a look!!

Bias 'Peak' is a popular Mac editor and though maybe more basic than Soundforge, or Cool edit, it has all the editing functions that I need. Spark is also worth a look though it's more for mastering and processing individual stereo files, it's excellent at that. I don't use anything else so can't go any further although, like Geoff said, it's worth a look on this site...

Cheers

Steve

I'm not a Mac user but there are a lot of decent sound editing program for the Mac here.

: what kind of hardware/software do you need to be able to hook up & play/record from a keyboard to your computer? (i have a mac g4)

: and i've heard lots of good things about cooledit for the pc... is there anything like it for the mac?

: Does anyone know about an Acid plugin that allows you to apply the same functions as rebirth to a sample (ie, environ. mod, etc...). Please mail me & Iwill tell u how to get free SMS messages. Put Acid plugin in subject line. thanx

.. sorry mate... but tell me more about his free sms... mwuhaha... *evil grin*

eeeck..

Sorry, no- but I could really use free SMS's! I spend shit-loads a week!

EVERYTHING you need (apart from a soundcard!) T is at www.sonicspot.com and listed clearly as 'Free' or otherwise. There are indeed some fantastic free music tools about and it is the way to go for any novice. You can download a demo of fruityloops (which is incredible) and export .wav files with it!!! Blows Hammer out of the water!

PS if u hear anything from your PC at the moment you have a souncard. If not you can get one for 30 UK pounds and fit it yourself easily - go for it!

Hi,

You're going to need a soundcard if you want to hear your music as you compose. If you want software as you describe, I'd recommend <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/FruityLoops_win95/">FruityLoops</a>.

: If any of you have patience to answer a question that's probably been asked a billion times (I have searched the archives to no avail) I would be very appreciative. I was wondering if any shareware programs will allow you to create using music utilizing ONLY your computer (no MIDI hook-ups or soundcards). I'm thinking about drums, synth (virtual), loops, patterns, samples, etc. I have Hammerhead, which is pretty cool, now I have to find some programs that allow me to create synth tracks, bass lines, loops, samples, etc. and MOST IMPORTANTLY a program which will allow me to mix all these disparate elements together. Naturally, the quality won't be that great---but I'm doing it just for fun anyway. Thanks a million to the fearless soul kind and patient enough to answer these questions.
