Mixman Studio Pro 4.0 for Mac

I just purchased the Mixman Studio Pro for my B&W Mac G3 and it is sounds so cool. But, it is new for Macintosh and it keeps crashing and freezing. Has anyone purchased this yet and are you having problems too. I really needed it for and up and coming project and I wrote the company and I am still waiting for an answer. I know someone that has it for PC, and there is no problem. It is new to Mac users. HELP! Thank you sincerely yours,

How to use Clavinova as input keyboard

Back again. I'm trying to use my Clavinova digital piano keyboard as the input into my new PowerBook for writing to Finale 3.7.2. Problem - no serial port.

Have Midi to USB connector, but OMS and FreeMIDI do not recognize the Clavinova even with everything hooked up (MIDI out hooked to MIDI in, etc.). Downloaded latest OMS. No luck.
Feel very stupid about this.

Yamaha has serial port. Will purchasing serial to USB solve my problem? Help, especially if anyone uses a Clavinova for note input.

home recording

Hi I have a MT400 Yamaha 4 track recorder, it's very limited in what it can do - I have recorded some stuff and then transferred to PC but the sound gets very blurred, particularly the voices and no matter how I try to equalize the sound I just can't seem to get it right. I was thinking of getting an 8 track and a CD recorder, but I'm reluctant to do so because if I can't get it right with the MT400 and a cassette I would probably be wasting my money, can anybody help.

Re: home recording

hmm..you don't say what soundcard you are using to record on your pc.If the sound is choppy,it's probably 'cause of the soundcard!to achieve fairly decent audio quality,try the soundblaster live platinum!it isn't cheap.but if u compare it to other high end cards like the yamaha sw1000(over 500 bucks)you'll realize it's a bargain!but wait,why are you taking all this trouble?it's perfectly possible to record all sorts of audio directly to your pc using a mic,keyboard or guitar!in fact hard disk recording will give you far better sound quality than tape!my advice:sell the mt400(it's way too old anyway)and get yourself a platinum card for christmas!

Need Help in Selecting Good Guitar Song and Lyric Writing Softwa

I am looking for software that will permit me to (1) enter lyrics to a song; (2) above the lyrics, that will permit me to place guitar chord diagrams (but not just open chords -- chords from the entire neck; and (3) that once chords have been selected, will permit easy transposition to another key. Is this too much to ask for, or are others there aware of such programs?? I have seen the following software program titles thru "Music Software" but when I tried to download one of the programs, it was all gobbly-gook. Thus, if there's a program out there that will perform the three above functions, I'm happy to pay for a hard version of it. The programs I saw were: Chord Transposer version 1.0 for Windows 95/98; SongWriter 2.0 for Windows 95/98; WinCarp Studio 1.0 for Windows 95/98; and ChordPro Manager 3.51 for Windows 95. OK, is there anyone out there that really knows their stuff that can help me?????? Thanks, Doc

I've tried MusEdit (http://www.musedit.com/) and Harmony Assistant (http://64.224.241.18/index.htm).

MusEdit is VERY guitar friendly; comes with an extensive database of chords, and it's fast and easy to add your own. Harmony is overall richer, especially for composing, but harder to use, and not (yet) as specifically guitar friendly. Both can transpose. MusEdit is pretty solid, but isn't updated very often. Harmony seems under pretty active development. The developers responded quickly (and favorably) to a bug and feature request report. The MusEdit doc is better, but the Harmony doc is online searchable. MusEdit is PC only; Harmony is available for both PC and Mac. Both are under $100 US. Harmony is available as a demo (save disabled), but last I checked, MusEdit isn't. For grins, Harmony has a voice synthesizer that will sing your lyrics. Pretty strange.

aiff to mp3 to my web site for beginner

Howdy!
I'm an acoustic musician trying to put some music clips on my new web site. The music is saved in aiff files on an iMac and they're short but huge. I'm guessing that the best way to remedy this is to convert it to mp3 then upload it. Could someone walk me through this? Don't even know where to start.

mp3 to wav troubles

Recently i downloaded a mp3 file, one track 22Mb, windowsmediaplayer says 1 hour and 3 minutes, and that's okay, i listen about an hour of music, to convert into wav to burn an audiocd fails, Nero says its 25 minutes of music, and Cool Edit 2000 and CDRwin also, i've tryed lots of software but nothing wil work, Please Help Me....

Re: mp3 to wav troubles

Take WinAmp, specify that you wish to output
to a wav-file instead of your soundcard (that's
somewhere in the settings). Then hit play and
it will ask you where you want to save your
file. It will probably do the trick for you, and
then you can burn the wav-file with Nero,
and not the MP3.

You should be able to find winamp somewhere here
on this site.

vinyl to CD

I would be grateful if someone could advise me on the software etc required to record vinyl records onto CD's. I have a large collection of vinyl. They take up a large amount of space and I would like to place them onto CD. I have a cd writer (nero burning rom) and a new pc which I am sure will be adequate for most software.
Is it possible to plug a record deck into the pc and transfer to enable burning to cd?
Any help would be great.

Re: vinyl to CD

Radio shack sells rca-to-mini jack connectors. run the rca connections from the turntable into the connector, run the mini piece of the connector into the sound card of the pc, run Sound Forge or other app which can record incoming signal of sound card.

Storage problems with mp3s

I have an older pentium with an original BIOS that would not support hard drives > 4gig. I installed a 32 gig drive and used a factory-supplied utility to format the drive into 16 2gig drives. Now when I save mp3 files from Napster, I get about 400k of files before the specific drive stops taking new data. Does anyone know why this would occur? All my system utilities say I have 75% free on the drive, and I even defragged. Help!

conversion of MP3 to midi

I notice there is a prog to convert wave files to midi.

Is there a way to convert mp3 to midi?

Re: conversion of MP3 to midi

: : I notice there is a prog to convert wave files to midi.

: : Is there a way to convert mp3 to midi?

just convert your mp3s to wav first

Re: conversion of MP3 to midi

: I notice there is a prog to convert wave files to midi.

: Is there a way to convert mp3 to midi?

: You cannot really convert audio to midi.. programs that claim to do this can only work with with a sound source that has a sequence of single clear notes; IT CANNOT CONVERT MUSIC!
However, If you find a wave to midi converter program that suits your need, I would suggest you simply convert the mp3 to wav, and use that.
