uninstall dx8

How do I uninstall directx 8 so I can reinstall 7.0. I have some games that don't seem to work right after I installed 8.0

ANTARES VOCAL FX

I recently bought the Antares Autotune because the guy at my music shop said that this is how I can get that Eiffel 65 vocal fx (which he said is similar to Cher's "Believe" vocal fx).

OK, so now that I bought it I can not find the settings that will do this.

Could someone please tell me what settings are required to achieve this.

Many thanks in advance.

Re: ANTARES VOCAL FX

Hi AH,
from memory the Retune is on 0 & the Tracking is on 71 or the other way round as a start.
I'm not at my protools rig at the moment to check sorry.

finale to Wave

Is it possible to make a digital recording ie put a song written in finale on a cd like a regular song???

Re: finale to Wave

Dont........not good, finale is a good program however, i would transfer the file to cakewalk or cubase logic audio, any sound forge, because if you want an industry standard recording(reccommended) youll need a Stronger file, finale is a weak audio composer, resend files to another like i said and remix then master it then burn it
remember 1 thing......its not how good the song is , its the frequency levels, they will promote a better sounding work of art

For converting mp3 to cd audio (and burn it on a cd) you can use "Easy CD Creator".

Sibelius software - making short scores

Hi, can anyone tell me how to turn a full score produced on Sibelius into a piano reduction or short score please? Thanks
Rich

Re: Sibelius software - making short scores

: Hi, can anyone tell me how to turn a full score produced on Sibelius into a piano reduction or short score please? Thanks
: Rich

Add a piano stave to your score select the music you wish to include in the reduction and alt-click on the piano stave to copy it there. Sibelius will deal with transpositions for you, but you will need to edit (probably extensively) for playability.

Good luck

wav files

Just started making CD's, I don't know how to make a wav file, and nothing I check into seems to tell me how. Can someone please explain how? Thanks

Re: wav files

Do a search on yahoo or something for freeware programs that convert other files into .wav format.

ex. convert mp3 to .wav

There's a lot of stuff out there.

Advice required

Hello u all...

I have done some work with two turntables and a mixer for a while now and would like to have some tips about how to make d'nb tracks with my computer, cause that would be next logical step for me. So, if any of you have done this kind of stuff and have pointers for me I would be so happy...! :-) Goog tips would be something like: where to start, what software to use and so on...
You can also reply to my email...

Re: How to make Drm'n Bass tracks???

Hallo You 1...
My tip would be: if you're going to be making your own loops - Fruityloops .. if you're gonna be using mainly loops - ACID .. killer prog that you can record straight audio over ...
Peace 2 U 2

Midi Problems

Hi

I have a PC running Cubase VST v3.5. I have a Korg i4 connected via serial port using Portman. I previously had no problem recording and playing back midi but lately my songs seem to skip beats after 30 or 40 seconds playing. The longer the track plays the worse the skipping and pausing gets. Also some of my older songs have no tracks in them when I open them.
Cheers

Copy Music Track from CD to Hard Disk to use on Web Page

I am creating a web page for my friend. I have a CD with his music on. I want to make it so that when people pull up his web page it plays a track (so there are no copyright issues here).

How do I:
a) get track from CD onto hard drive (all I can see are 1k .cda files)
b) does the file need anything further or will it be in the rigth format for the web page to just play it?

Thanks

Hi Angela (you live in Holland?),
to get a track of a cd on harddisk you can use the program "MusicMatch Jukebox", it will be in the mp3-format and that is the right format to put on your website; you can download this program for free at http://software.mp3.com/software.
Good luck (from Holland) -Tony.
