Re: converting ram files to audio files(.cda) CD tracks

: : i need something to convert real player files to CDtrack files so that i can play it at home or at the car....
: : regards;

: I need the same help!

Had anyone found something to convert real player files?

How can I mark tracks on audio C.D.

I am a D.J. I like to make nonstop mixes of my records.
I would like to know how to mark tracks on a 70 min. wave file before i burn it.

Re: How can I mark tracks on audio C.D.

you have to take each song in the mix where youd like a new track number and make it its own file.
Instead of 1 big file , you will have a file for each song on the mix. Marking the songs cant be done is sound forge.
Then just like you would burn a regular cd, you would do same. Depending on your cd burning software, one of the last advanced options are "close disc, leave disc open...and so on. You want to select "disc-at-once" This eliminates the 2 second gap inbetween songs. This should work seeing as i just learned and did this the other day. if there is another way ,let me know.

Need help...How do i just have part of a mp3 song to load on a s

cna you do this? i wanted to just play the chorus of a song, i have the mp3's and i need to find out how to edit them.....anyone know?

Re: Need help...How do i just have part of a mp3 song to load on

Hi. First you'll need to convert the MP3 to a Wav file ... www.recycler.com ... then you need a Wave editor (eg. Cool Edit, Soundforge ... perhaps one free on this site) .. select the portion you want (ie. the chorus) and save the selection as a Wav file. Software to convert this Wav to MP3 ... perhaps your wave editor does this .. if not, try n-Track studio .. www.fasoft.com ... and Bob's your Auntie's live in lover ...

Finally... Sell your music!!

We'll be posting the software on Hitsquad next week, but we just wanted to announce the release of PayWave. This incredible program let's you demo your MP3s to your fans for as many plays as you decide. You decide the password that unlocks the song. You decide the price!! They can't stael it by recording it with another program. During playback, PayWave disables their system's record function. They can't even play it on any other player until it's paid for!! PayWave converts the MP3 to a non-audio file format until it's paid for. Once the song is paid for, PayWave converts it back into the original MP3. Simply incredible!! To find out more about the program, and to download a free demo, just go to www.tym2.com We believe that this incredible software is going to change everything. I hope you'll check into it and start spreading the word. Finally... musicians can start getting something back!! And Geoff... Please take a look!!

Keyboard-PC MIDI connection

Hi Everybody,

I have: keyboard with MIDI input/output, SBLive!Value,
a cable between these units, Win2k. I`d like to connect
the keyboard to the PC, and to record and process
voice-by-voice the music played on the keyboard.
Have you an idea, which software can realize it?

Regards
Gabor

Re: Keyboard-PC MIDI connection

try massiva(freeware), it uses audio, midi and soundfonts which you can load into your soundblaster card(this software has some pretty good tutorials on the website.
try quartz audio master freeware, same as above, don't know if it plays back soundfonts.

what kind of music do you make ?

ok, so everyone's got a question.
what kind musicians are we all?

what kind of music do people make ?

i make trip-hop, techno, electro, and industrial.

Re: what kind of music do you make ?

: ok, so everyone's got a question.
: what kind musicians are we all?

: what kind of music do people make ?

: i make trip-hop, techno, electro, and industrial.

I am an industrial rock muscician. I tend to do industrial, experimental, and just plain wierd stuff. I will be releasing a CD soon.

Scott

Re: what kind of music do you make ?

let me know when it's out. i'll probably be interested in
buying a copy.

Re: what kind of music do you make ?

I've been making hip-hop with e-jay for a while, do most people use something like that? I'm not sure what people use for their music as there seems to be a lot of technical questions about specific things! What do you use?

Re: what kind of music do you make ?

well... I'm in an industrail/ rock/ metal/ pop/ unconventional/ pink floydish/ postwave band ... if that narrows it down. Have a CD out soon too. As, for the questions on what gearto use... I use Cakewalk Pro Audio 9, with LOADS of plugins, Cubase VST 5/32, Logic Platinum, Wavelab, Soundforge, rebirth, Hammerhead ( don't we all??), Native Instruments Pro 52, Soundforum , The Tassman, Rebirth RB 338 2, PC Drummer, Leaf Drums, Revolve, SAW Pro, Sampituse 2496, Pro Tools FREE (sucks) , Orangator, T Racks, Power Tracks, Virtual Sampler, Giga Sampler, and ACID. I would recommend all these programs except PT FREE ( not worth the disk space). They each have a purpose better suited, and for some one wanting to do hip hop, I'd look into Rebirth particularly and maybe cakewalk.

stuff i use

I use wavelablite, soundforge xp, cubasis vst, tons of free plug-ins,
ddclip pro, tuareg w/moonfish, hammerhead, graphic eq pro,
amen, hog, wavGlue, bpm midi kalkulator, exact audio copy,
wavBrowser, cd wave, and now proTools free.

i really only use about 4 programs the most.
basically, tuareg, cubasis, wavelab, and soundforge xp.

there are other programs, but i usually only use
what i need. I have a midiman 2496 full duplex card and a midiman
flying calf 24 bit ad converter. i also use a midiman multimixer 6.
my mixer is the tinyest and quietest and simplest mixer. i don't use any external midi.
i also have a behringer dj mixer, and a Crown PZM mic which is totally accurate.
i burn cds with an internal 8x write, 20x read yamaha cd-r drive.

most of my sound material comes from recordings of
my music before i had a computer, when i used hardware synths
and processors. i believe that for many styles of music,
hardware is always better than software.

i like to make music that is unlike anything i
have ever heard, but which is familiar enough to
enjoy to listen to. eventually i want to compose
only using recorded acoustic instruments, but with
an electro sensibility.

Re: cequadrat is not working right

I have the same problem. Can't figure it out really, it will play in my friends cars sometimes. Sometimes I think its the software, sometimes I think its the disk themselves. However, I have better luck with Siren Jukebox, and with higher name CDRs.
