I had the same problem, and...

I enjoy composing music, but found notation packages notoriously boring and slow and inefficient for my purpose.

So I wrote my own music package. It's freeware, but only works in DOS. Works with most sound cards, providing that you have either a wavetable daughterboard on your sound card (NOT a software synth) or external instrument.

It works fine unless you are using Windows 3.1 or Windows 2000. In which case it won't work.

Please respond by email if interested.

Yes, this one is perfect

Data Becker's 'Music Centre Pro' (an audio/midi sequencer) is easy to use, looks very nice onscreen, has excellent midi functionality and is bargain priced at $29UK. Using midi only, your daughter will be able to program 'edit grids' with the notes/chords of up to 16 different midi instruments for playback as a composition. Score editing is also available and vocals and live instuments can also be added alongside the midi voices. For good quality midi voices you will need a soundcard with good built in voices. Playback any midi file to see how they sound. A software soundcard like Yamaha's SY-XG50/100 can be loaded for excellent midi voices but recording audio alongside the midi song using a softcard leads to a time delay/bad sync. Simply record with the hard cards voices playing for no time delay then playback with softcard for improved voice in this scenario.

NEPTUNE 303

Many thanks for your reply I didn't think cakewalk would do it; now that I read the Band in a Box info I dont think their basic pack will do it either. Its a pity I was trying to get a process like it for about $AUST 200. Thanks again. JIMBO.

Cakewalk H/S - Band in a box.

Can cakewalk H/S add chords to arrangements like Band in a box can. Iwould appreciate some advice as I am thinking of buying Home Studio.

Re: Cakewalk H/S - Band in a box.

I do not believe it can, try Cakewalk Pro Audio 8 .

Where to put my software

I've downloaded your beatcreator software,but don't know how to get it working with cubase.
Please help me
thanks
Oliver

Standalone app

It's a standalone app so will not work inside Cubase. You have to export your beat creations as .wav files then load these into Cubase tracks I'd have thought.

Inoperative Audio CD Player

Get error message saying I need 'MMJB.exe' for opening files of type 'AudioCD'. Can't find it on interned downloads. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Inoperative Audio CD Player

: Get error message saying I need 'MMJB.exe' for opening files of type 'AudioCD'. Can't find it on interned downloads. Any help would be appreciated.

Download another CD player like CDrun (http://www.amberror.lt/) and make it your default CD player.

Re: Inoperative Audio CD Player

: Get error message saying I need 'MMJB.exe' for opening files of type 'AudioCD'. Can't find it on interned downloads. Any help would be appreciated.

You have the Audio CD associated with Musicmatch Jukebox. Either download another copy, or hold shift while right clicking the track, and choose OPEN WITH, then select another program (IE, CDPlayer) then click ALWAYS use this program when opening this type of file, then click OK.... Problem Solved

Problem in recording audio in Cubase VST 32 5

Just one week ago i purchased Cubase VST 32 5. I have a problem in recording audio. I composed a song as wave in another program "fruity Loops" and imported it to cubase. Till now everything is ok, then i want to record a guitar part with my guitar in the line in 2 of my sound blaster live platinum. The problem is when i hit a note in my guitar there is a delay in the sound. The signal of my guitar goes out from the cubase approximately one second after i hit the note in my guitar. The problem is that the guitar does not much with the other wave that i have composed. Can anyone help me with this problem, how can i eliminate the delay of the signal? Or tell me what to do to record a guitar in cubase without delaying the signal. Please help.

I'll try to give you better advice than the other person.. In the audio system dialog, make sure Monitoring is disabled, and monitor through your soundcard by unmuting your inputs in the sound blaster live mixer.

Re: Problem in recording audio in Cubase VST 32 5

get rid of thyat shitty sound card if your going to buy a great program you should buy a compriable sound card stayaway from sound blaster when your tryin to be profesional...!

MUSIC CDRs are a different breed of CDR to those used on computer based burners. MUSIC CDRs are for use ONLY on stand-alone burning machines. You cannot use them on a computer based sytem.

Good Luck

track splitting

I have a query on track splitting. I hope someone can help me. I'm looking for a software that can track - split a song. By that I mean to be able to extract just the vocals, or just the music from a specific song. I have heard that there is software out there that actually maps the noise waves of the song it self and extraction can take place that way, but don't know where to look. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Sincerely,

Vridar

rebirth?

First of all, I'm not a pro musician. I recently saw
Rebirth on a friends system and thought it was really
cool. I came to this site looking to download it, but
I quickly saw how many other/similar programs there
were. For someone who's mostly looking to have fun, could
you reccomend a program to me? Should I just get Rebirth
or is there something you think might be better?
