Won't burn MP3's

I need some help here, for some reason or another, when I go to my Adaptec Easy CD Creator, I go to my folder and it will not recognize any MP3's. All that it recognizes are Wav's, but all of my songs are MP3's. This only recently happened, I just got a Trojan virus off and it messed up alot of drivers, etc., so I think that it may have something to do with that. Someone please help me here, I need to be ablt to burn my music. Thanks alot.

Ask about MIDIFILE

I want to know about converting program.
I used to use an electone to make my own song, and the file format is different between the other song generator, like General MIDI, or XG, which we can see the score from the computer.
If you, or somebody knew about to convert prgoram, from electone data to general midi data, please tell me with this e-mail address. Thanks !

tempos

Help please! I need some advice on how best to edit the tempos of samples, how's it done? Any help greatly appreciated!Thanks...

Re: tempos

: Help please! I need some advice on how best to edit the tempos of samples, how's it done? Any help greatly appreciated!Thanks...

Hi I am interested in the same issue, the best I've done so far is in ACID but that's not always suitable so I have loaded the wav file into 'Vienna' and made a soundfont. Tempo shift is easy but I lose volume.

Re: tempos

: Help please! I need some advice on how best to edit the tempos of samples, how's it done? Any help greatly appreciated!Thanks...

I'm just thinking about hunting down some software for this myself. Haven't had time to look yet but I know Wavelab does it (Wavelab Lite does not have that option). I can't tell you the exact command sequence but if you can get the software it's very easy. I believe they refer to it as "time stretch" You can select all or part of your wave to edit and stretch or compress it by a percentage. I think you can also give it a new total time instead of using the percentage. It's a long time since I used it.
Good luck.

Re: tempos

Well, I don't know the best ways, but here
are some of my techniques:

1) shift the pitch up or down for faster or slower.
2) use time compression/expansion commands.
3) cut tiny little snippets out here and there.
4) replicate tiny little segments here and there.
5) use subtle combinations of all of the above.
6) trigger rhythms with a drum machine or sampler
7) always work with a calculator and a stopwatch.

GOOD LUCK MY FRIEND

MP3 player for Mac with 68040 processor

Ladies and Gentlemen,
When looking on Google for a MP3 player that fits a Mac (Quadra 950) with 68040 processor, I came across your ad:
"I got a 68040 mac processor and I need to listen MP3 files...."
But when looking at your home page, there is no way to find this thing!!!
Your clarification would be appreciated.
Regards,
Alec

Re: MP3 player for Mac with 68040 processor

somebody told me that MPLAY68K.HQX
is what you should be looking for.

I used to have a 68K mac or threee. they are
really much more reliable than pc's once you
get the bugs worked out. A lot more secure,
too.

If you browse the web with iCAB, it's unbeatable.

Realplayer

Wanted to find out if there was a way to convert a .rm file into a wav or mp3. Also am looking for a way to play .rm files on my Ipaq.

There's something in the news area on this.
<a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/news/818/">Wisecroft Ripper is multimedia utility that allows you to convert Real Audio files into WAV files.</a>

I need ENCORE or at least a serious music program to edit MIDI f

I am a very potent musician but I'm only in need of a program to edit my MIDI files. This is taking to long, I'm searching all over the internet to find something, but I don't need demo versions which do not allow me to save or print scores. Can you help me? I would like to give you something in trade. You may have my MIDI collection or some other programs I got.

I don't understand these programs are nowhere to download. It shouldn't be that difficult! Like I have searched for so long, in the mean time, I could have programmed a MIDI editor myself.

Re: Drum Bass and Synth Software

Tuareg is a good one if you want to make
hiphop beats with some bass or effectlines.
And it's free...

PLEASE!!!! HELP I NEED PROGRAM THAT WILL TAKE SILENCE OFF OF MUL

I need a program that will do a bunch of mp3s at once and
take the silence off the end or beginning. So I don't have
to do it one at a time!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!

This just in...

I just noticed that there is a program called
WavTrim which is freeware and works ok.

It's a good combo with WavGlue and AutoTune and
also CDWAVE.

ok, then.

Re: PLEASE!!!! HELP I NEED PROGRAM THAT WILL TAKE SILENCE OFF OF

Hi there

I don't know if there are any programs that do bulk edits. Here's a <a href="http://www.mp3machine.com/win/EDITORS/">good page for editors</a> though.

Re: PLEASE!!!! HELP I NEED PROGRAM THAT WILL TAKE SILENCE OFF OF

Look for a program called MP3Trim, that should do it.
There's also a program called Audio Companion, which
possibly has similar functions.

CoolEdit Pro (and CoolEdit200) can be run in batch mode.
This means that you can schedule stuff to be done
like a program. There may be a way to make a batch
script to trim your files.

If you know how to use a noise gate, it can
help too for those programs that require setting
a threshold for noise muting under special timing
conditions.

Re: PLEASE!!!! HELP I NEED PROGRAM THAT WILL TAKE SILENCE OFF OF

Cool. Many thanks for the info!

Great hallo, my name is panji, i'm living in Semarang Indonesia. im an amateur drummer, can you give me some tips about how to play drum with a proffesional way or a good style.
do you know how much i'm fanatic with you,
i'm always play your song with my group, but i think it's cannot play like you with your drum.
at some festival in my country, i'm always in first possition, i'm sorry if you cannot understand what i mind. i'm just learn with english. thanks.......
god bless you

help me please

I'm at a loss. I'm not very computer literate but I want a CD burner.. or at least I think that's what it's called. I want to put my MP3 things on CD's that I can play elsewhere. I have no clue how to do that though.. do I have to buy something or download something. Any explanations would be much appreciated.

Re: help me please

well, it depends on what u want to do with it, if u just want to burn the MP3´s on a cd-rom u only need a burning software (must be includet by the burner), when u want to play it on CD-player or such thing u have to convert the MP3´s into *.WAV files for that u need a MP3 encoder then u have to burn it onto the CD so u can hear it on CD-Player.

10 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MAKING MUSIC LIKE YOUR FAVORITE

ABOUT MAKING MUSIC LIKE YOUR FAVORITE GROUPS

1 - you are not them, so you probably won't ever sound like them
2 - you can sound more like them if you have the same equipment.

if your favorite groups have some really special gizmos they use,
you'll sound more like them if you have those same gizmos, which you
probably can't afford either, unless you're signed by a major label
and paid a big royalty advance.

3 - If you learn the physics of sounds and synthesis, then you can learn to
make sounds like the pro bands without spending tons of money. However, it
will cost you time and dedication instead. But it's not very hard, either,
if you know how to use a library.

4 - Making music can be a lot like programming: if
the bugs and kinks really get to you, you need to do
a bit more planning and research. Maybe this isn't
your thing.

5 - Decide right away if you want to play live, create an album, or just jam.
Knowing this will save you from HELL!

6 - Always keep your instruments clean. If you sing, don't smoke.
If you play keyboard, keep dust (and cigarettes) away from the keys.
Treat any instrument like a baby and it will sound better.

7 - Find out if the bands that you like compose their own music. LOTS OF THEM DONT!!!!!!!!!!

8 - Take 15 minute breaks every 20 minutes or so, to give your ears a break. Otherwise you are
likely to damage your hearing.

9 - Never stand too close to the drummer. Drummers play TOO DAMN LOUD.
They may be the most educated member of the group for a lot of things,
but they are also often partially DEAF!!!!! Don't stand too close to
the snare drums, in particular. Snare drum hits can be as loud as some
kinds of gunshots if you are standing too close. OK, maybe I exaggerate,
but hey... it's your ears you are risking.

10 - If you really want to get laid this weekend, quit
working on music and just hang out with people who have
shorter attention spans than you.

RGds,

Monitors

Hey Everyone:

Anyone know how to set-up programs / sound cards / input devices so that the input signal is monitored by the output? In other words, the incoming signal is directly played over the speakers or headphones?

Thanks,
Brett.
