Re: ram convert to mp3

If you follow the link to Music Software, then look under Converters, you should find something. Otherwise, search in Yahoo for "RAM to MP3"

opening the free plug ins

Can someone tell me how to open and use the free plug ins for Cubasis Vst on pc.
thanks

If it's anything like the Mac...

then all you do is copy the VST plugin into the VST plugings folder and they will be available to you when you next boot cubase (or compatible application). Sometimes people have more than one VST compatible host on their computers and the apps themselves often let you 'Locate' the VST plugins folder rather than copying the whole of the VST plugins folder to the host directory. Keep an eye out for the options in the various host programs

How Come It Doesn't Download?

I can't dowload any Dj software... It says to wait for 30 seconds but it never works no matter how much time i let it stay on that page... Is it because i need to be on General? I'm on AOL and i'm web restricted from a few things...Does this explain it? Help me E-mail Me ArianaNN@Aol.com

Re: How Come It Doesn't Download?

As you haven't told us what you tried to download, it's pretty hard to find out if the software you want is available or not.

SUBLIMINAL MESSAGES

Does anyone know how to place supposed "subliminal messages" in music? I'm experimenting with different styles of music as of now and I want to see if it can give them that "distinct" sound af almost hearing something but not quite.

Two Methods

The oldest trick, and the well established way to do this is back masking. This can be acheived in 2 wayus which i will detail here.

Method 1 analog masking: If you are using an analog (tape) multitracker, filip the tape backwards. Select the opposite track to you RECORD ON in opposition to the one THE SOUND WILL PLAY ON ( as in : if sound is to be on track four when tape is played foward, arm track one when in reverse) . Record the words to subliminate. Flip tape over fowards and mix. A satanic message is born.

Method 2 (digital): If you are using a computer multitracker/sequencer such as cakewalk, logic, cubase etc. this is much more simple. First record normally whatever it is that you want to say. Next, edit the wave form to reverse ( or "flip" the wave). Back masking is acheived and you can add whatever effects, vocoding , granulation that you like.

Hope this helps.

Re:

The only subliminal messages I care for are those that escape from my guitar.
I'm scared shitless every time I see one of those buggers jump all over the place...

Re: SUBLIMINAL MESSAGES

You'd be better off using certain frequencies to create effect. For instance, the US military is working on a series of acoustic devices that will be able to incapacitate crowds of people. Scary stuff!

: Does anyone know how to place supposed "subliminal messages" in music? I'm experimenting with different styles of music as of now and I want to see if it can give them that "distinct" sound af almost hearing something but not quite.

Careful...

It is officially illegal to insert subliminal 'suggestions' that may induce someones to do something they may have not done previously. I can't remember the heavy metal band that were in the american courts many years ago for apparently inserting subliminal messages that resulted in two kids shooting each other in the face. One survived I think and has the most distorted face I have ever seen.

I heard the tapes from the song after they had attempted to isolate the sections that had these messages and remember thinking it was a farce. They could have been saying anything and it was open to interpretation what they actually said.

The point being, steer clear of subliminal messages as you never do know who will try and take advantage of you in the future..

God bless

but not q.

Ask the CIA/FBI they are experts.

Re: SUBLIMINAL MESSAGES

Try vocoders in low volumes...

.MP3 or .WAV to .TRK converter...anyone?

Have questions about pro tools 5.1

I'd appreciate it if anyone could help me figure out how to back up
my music files via CD burner.

Also, were can I get effects plug ins?

Does anyone know of a pro tools dedicated user site?

Thanks, Scoop

Re: Have questions about pro tools 5.1

You have to bounce to disc. Make sure that you do it in stereo mode. Also it will give you options of what kind of format you want to bounce it as. WAV if it's going to a CD for you to listen to. The best place to find any protool user questions is digidesigns website.

Getting cracked plugins for PC has been very difficult. Mac can be found with a little digging around.

Hope this helps you

salut jennifer comment ca va j'ai ecrit ce message pour
que tu envoiyer une photo .........?

help it make a massive internet hit...

Hello friends,

You can check out my music at www.besonic.com/napalam . especially check the song tittled Dark Window. It's a very dark song with following theme, it has very true tribal feel and is sure to capture your mind with it's hypnotic beat and bass..

This song tries to capture the atmosphere of an ancient tribal ritual of human sacrifice which begins with the start of a yearly festival to please their god of secrets. The intro signifies the war they had to fight to capture the leader of their rival tribe for the sacrifice. Then comes the second phase of celebrating the victory with the beat of victory. The final stage is really impressive and the moment of sacrifice is backed up by some very tight and catchy basslines and the lead that gives it twin colors and feel - one for the aggressiveness and devotion the tribesmen are feeling, other for the fear that is in the heart of person to be sacrificed. The tribesmen are gathered and the ceremony is going on. This is the final ritual and as the final moment of sacrifice is comming, they are asking their god for blessings with few animal sacrifices. As they kill, they prepare it for food. There's blood everywhere and the victim can do nothing but wait till they offer....

download Dark Window directly from http://www.sectionz.net/music/mp3/DarkWindow.mp3 for other songs visit at www.besonic.com/napalam

thanks

Soundcards with Midi Out

I haven't had any luck sending midi info to my sampler from my computer using a cable that connects to the joystick port, and I'm looking for a decent, but reasonably priced soundcard with a midi out connection. Any suggestions? Thanks...

Re: Soundcards with Midi Out

Soundcards with built-in MIDI ports are a rarity, and are usually confined to high-end (i.e. expensive) cards. You should be able to use the port on your soundcard without any problems. I suspect your configuration is probably wrong somewhere.

Convert audio tape to audio CD

Hi Music Expert:
I plan to convert my audio tape to audio CD which can be played on the normal CD-player.
I have sucessfully convert the analog audio tape to .wav format. I just want to know if there is any software or hardware can let me covert the .wav format to .cda format or any file format that normal CD-play can play.

Thanks!

Re: Convert audio tape to audio CD

You don't need to convert WAV files for them to work on a CD player. Just use something like Nero or Easy CD.

Any software suggestions for strictly drum music composure?

Programs like cakewalk are way too complex. All I want is cheap/free software that will record, play back, and print measures of drum set music (For a book). Thanx in advance.

make my guitar sound like a bass? how?

is it possible to record my guitar and make it sound like a bass? how do i do this?

.....

You could try and harmonise it down an octave (12 semi's) although this wont make it sound like a bass as such, but it would take it to the basses register. I have tried this in my youth with a Yamaha SPx90 (when they came out ;0) and the results were disappointing. The bass strings are thick and guitar strings are thin so getting that thick sound would involve a bass itself.

You could try it anyway. Try compressing the resulting sound quite heavily and apply some eq around the 100hz area with a medium bandwidth aside the 100hz. You may find the transient (initial part of the sound) and little wooley, so a carefully place noise gate 'after' the compression may reproduce the sound with a little more of a transient click.

It's a tricky one but you will learn things by trying it out, even if you don't get the results you want, which you unfortunately probably wont...

here's hoping..

how can i create new drum sounds to hammerhead?

i've tried it using drumsynth, but it sounds bad, every sound i create or send to hammerhead finishes with a blown speaker sound, but my speakers are OK...

Help!

Does anyone know how to delete the actual music from a song and leave the vocals?

Thanx,
Stillbored

Re: Help!

This question is one of the regulars.

There is no way of removing any part of a track, either music or vocals, without affecting them in some way. You can use filters to emphasise particular frequency bands, but you're always left with remnants of other parts of the track.

The only way this can be done is if the track is still in multi-track form (i.e. as it is in the studio before being mixed). Here, you can simply remove the tracks you don't want. To do it on the final mixed track is virtually impossible.
