Ripping Classical CDs

Classical CDs are often divided into tracks even though there is no actual break in the music. My ripper separates the tracks with a small gap so my burnt copy has gaps in the music! Can someone recommend a programme for the PC or Mac that will get me round this problem? Thanks.

With an audio editor (for instance Soundforge) you can join multiple WAV files together or seperate one into different pieces.

I would suggest using CDEX, which is an AWESOME free ripping program. It doesn't cause this problem, but then, I never really encounter it since I rip most classical pieces onto one big track.

And don't forget. NEVER rip classical music at less than 160 kbps!!!

"Demo Effect" plugin

Anyone knows where I can find a "Demo Effect" plugin (makes your songs sound like there were demos). I know there's such plugin somewhere 'cause I've seen it, but now I can't find it anywhere.

Need help getting Samples....

Well first off thanks for taking the time to check out what I need help with...Second off I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get some sample mixes to play with to get a demo tape out there. I already know that most record companys wont deal with me unless I have all the legal paperwork all set up, but of coarse Im hardheaded. I've looked everywhere on the web I possibly could but find dead ends after dead ends of samples that cant be saved so I can mess with them on my computer. If anyone knows of a place where I can find samples it'd be greatly appericated...and shouted out to on my cd when I make it to the big leagues ;)

Re: Need help getting Samples....

If you are speaking of samples from commercial cd's (i.e. hip hop) you will have to do it yourself. If you are looking for loop tracks to sing over, there are many that come in 4-bar loops and you paste them as you like. Easiest way is to use acid, but you can use other programs as well. There are many producers who create all sorts of loops in wav and acid formats that can be arranged however you want them. Try sounds online at www.soundsonline.com, or East West at www.bigfishaudio.com. Its as close to a professional production as you can get. One of them i think you can download one song each, but a whole CD is about $100.

RIFF header

Does somebody know what does it mean when in wav file is missing a RIFF header ?

Thanx!

Re: RIFF header

: Does somebody know what does it mean when in wav file is missing a RIFF header ?

: Thanx!

To play back in Cyclone (in Sonar, or P5) wav files have header added to them to enable tempo changes in real time. Similar to rex files, you need software to change wav files to riff files and add the header information.

Re: RIFF header

: Does somebody know what does it mean when in wav file is missing a RIFF header ?
: Thanx!

It means what your wav file is corrupted or some software did not save it correctly.
These RIFF headers are mandatory: "WAVE", "fmt ","data" and if the sample is not PCM decoded - "fact". Look what part is missing in file.

Pro Isis, Logic Audio MIDI problem

I have recently bought Logic Audio and Dvae Bolin was right, the manual is crap and assumes that the user has 90% knowledge of studio tools before starting.

I have got a korg O1w and and a Yamaha DJX and can't seem to filter thru info for the DJX, ie both keyboards respond to MIDI data on all tracks

The O1/W is linked to the interface IN /OUT and the DJX is linked to the Thru from the O1/W. Any suggestions?

Regards

Andy

Re: Pro Isis, Logic Audio MIDI problem

:you would have to write an Environment
for the O1w and the DJX

where can i get an automatic wave recorder anyone ?

I'm looking for a very simple program that does one thing: automatically starts recording to a .WAV file when a loud enough sound is made.
Anybody know of such a program ? Please let me know.

It's all I ask. I know there are tons of very functional programs, but I'm looking for the thing that does the simple job right. Nothing more, nothing less.

No sound in joined AVI

Can anyone tell me why when I join 2 or more AVI files using a program called "HJSPLIT" the video works fine but there is no sound with the file and the individual files have sound before they are joined. Does anyone know how to fix this or if there is a free program download to join AVI files with sound.

Sound Forge

hello,
I am recording a cd using a boss br-8 and I am running the br-8 into my computer and saving the files as .wav My question is: using sound forge, is there anyway to make the volume of all of my songs the same (master) so it sounds decent when burnt to cd?

thanks
jake

What you need is a hard limiter which you could get as a Direct X plug in. Db Audioware makes a good one. A hard limiter will bring your levels up consistently without exceeding 0db. You might be able to use the Wave Hammer in Sound Forge the same way. Try it.

Re: Sound Forge

you could also try using the RMS Normalizing feature. You'll have to play with the "normalize to" so that it doesnt sound over compresed.

help me transfer music please................

I have songs on a liquid player.....is it possible to transfer the songs to a wav file so I can burn the songs onto a cd. Or I have this file called cd creator, can I transfer the tracks from my liquid player to my cd creator file. I don't know...is any of this possible. I would apprecite it if someone could help me.

Trix

Re: help me transfer music please................

The reason the songs are in Liquid format is coz people want to protect their songs from pirates. Maybe you'll have to buy the songs to convert them into something to burn.

HELP ME W/CUBASE!

I had to format my drive, so I did, reinstalled Windows2000 and Millenium, now I can't install Cubase 5.0 on either system!! well, it did install, but everytime I try to run it, i get the shitty "... has caused an error in CUBASE.EXE" What do I do?

Oo-er?

What do you mean, have you got your PC on dual boot? That'd be th only reason you'd have W2000 and Me. In that case programs not compatible with W2000 will f$ck up even if you've got it on an Me partition.

Personally I very reserved about either where Cubase is concerned and I'm reserving a w98 PC for it. Your best hope is contacting Steinberg direct about compatibility issues and possible patches/fixes.

software for young beginners

I want to find an alternative for for pc games for my children. Instead of killing and shooting maybe they could do something with a music software. They know how to play instruments and are 10 and therteen years old.

Re: software for young beginners

Don't let your kids kill. Give them this <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/cgi/htdig/htsearch.cgi?method=and&format=builtin-long&config=htdig&restrict=%2Fsmm%2Fprograms%2F&exclude=&words=acid">acid</a> instead.
