new e-mail address - changing tempos

: What is the best software for editing and changing tempos in wav files before burning to CD? I want to burn my own CD's for teaching dance.

Do a search...

...alright, I did it for you, below....

The process is known as time stretching and retains the original pitch whilst changing the tempo. It's reliable up to a point although if you are trying to change the speed drastically, then you will notice a major change in the apparent quality of the sound

Re:

Wavelab 3.4 has some nice features (crossfading songs with different volumes, tempo & pitch change)...

Re: new e-mail address - changing tempos

A good audio editor such as <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/Cool_Edit_2k/">Cool Edit 2000</a> will do the job.

Winamp won't list the visuals I've loaded

Winamp won't list the visuals I've loaded, even though
I've set the visuals path in options to:
c:\Program Files\Winamp\Plugins
and also tried:
c:\Program Files\Winamp\Plugins\avs

but all I get are 2 visualisations, one of which doesn't work because I haven't got an MMX chip.

Any ideas?

Regards

Robin

Re:

Check if you have latest directX, & video card drivers.
Even if they don't work they should appear on Winamp's options/visualizations folder...

How to get from MIDI to MP3?

Hallo .. 1st question on this forum - I just got me a MIDI controller keyboard and understand the basic basics, but what's confusing me - when I create a song with audio and MIDI, what are the stages to mix the song down to a Wav file so I can make it into MP3 ... I can't think of anything other than converting the MIDI tracks into Wav (audio) files and taking it from there. Is this right? And if so, how the dickens do you do it?

Thanks on behalf of all the thickies to those who spend the time answering these questions (you know who you are) - I'll be able to answer more when I've learned a bit more :o)

Re: How to get from MIDI to MP3?

You can scroll down the disussion list & see the replies about Mid to Wav, 2 ways are described.
Fast way
In a sequencer (Cubase, Cakewalk) you can do this:
Mute all tracks except the one you need to convert.
Record enable a clean track, & hit record.
(Check the mixer settings if it doesn't work)

After the mixdown use a converter to convert it to mp3 format (recommended settings 320Kb/sec HQ=On)...

composition software with voice synthesis

Is there a software product for the PC for music
composition that supports digital synthesis of a
human voice singing one or more voice parts (music and
lyrics) in a music composition? This would be for
use in composing / playing music with soprano, alto,
tenor and bass vocal parts.

I've got the demo of Melody Assistant from Miryad Software... I like It, but I wonder if I can found something better...
Thanks!

Yes...

I have tried Harmony assistant although I don't know whether to take it seriously or not. I laughed through the first couple of demo songs. I have the Mac version although there appears to be a windows one too. Click the link for a laugh...!

Nice try though

Re: composition software with voice synthesis

There's nothing that can do the job as well as I assume you require.

how do you compress a wav file

I have limited web space and only want 2 verses of a song, but still my file is too large. Please help

Re: how do you compress a wav file

Try encoding it to mp3 at 320 with high quality on, it's the best solution.
There is a program called Wavezip that promises compression up to 60% & no quality loss, but you'd have to test it first ...

Re: how do you compress a wav file

Get hold of an audio editor like <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/GoldWave/">Goldwave</a>. Then edit the song so you have the verses you want. Then reduce its sample rate from 44.1 to 22.1khz and convert it to mono. That should save you considerable space. I'm working off the assumption you are using a WAV not an MP3.
