clear my mind

I'm finally ready to step into the music technologie but i'm a bit confused. I want to buy a little home studio that will be able to record music, make music and sample music.... I was thinking about buying a big ass PC with a AUDIOPHILE sound card, the REASON program and CUBASE.... I was wondering if u had some other interesting combination that would be better and/or less expensive... I would also appreciate if u had good tips about computers... Thank's

Re: clear my mind

reason + cubase is a wicked combination. depending on the quality you are aiming 4 you would probablly need a good quality FX package on top of that - something like DSP FX or Waves Bundle. Reason fx are pants but you rewire individual reason channels into cubase + use cubase FX/3rd party package here. There are plenty of ways of doing it. you could forget about reason + get VSTi synths+sampler instead. AMD or Pentium fine, 1Gig is more than plenty, 256RAM min. 17inch mon. 7,200rpm hard drive.

connect the stereo line out or headphone out of the minidisc to the line in on your soundcard. You need some kind of software to record into preferrably with metering so you can tell when you have an input signal. Hit record in your software and play on the minidisc. That's all I can tell you with out knowing what specific hardware you have. Also make sure you select line in on your soundcards mixer.

Re: putting minidisc music on my hard drive

Is there a way to rip MD to the hard drive, like ripping a DVD? IE directly to MP3 format.

Karaoke

I want to make Karaoke from Ordinary music CDs? What's the software? Please can anyone email me the software name? I am using iMac... Its very important and I could'nt find the answer in archives either....

Re: Karaoke

If your looking for Karaoke you might want to try this page http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/DART_KaraokeCDG/?sup13

Ijust downloaded it the other day and it looks promising . They give you a 30 day trial.It seems to do all you need - Remove vocals,Add text,Syncronize text,Make CDG files,And Burn CDG Disks I haavent finisshed learning how the program works yet but what I have seen looks realy good

Re: Karaoke

The simple answer is there isn't any. It's impossible to remove vocals, or any
instrument for that matter, from a stereo track.

Andy

Re: Karaoke

There are 2 ways, either EQ the midrange like some cheaper products do or to select one channel and invert the phase. That will cancel the information that is the same on both channels which is usually the lead vocals and lead guitar or other solo instrument. Now if you know of editing software which you do that with pls let me know.

I WANT TO COPY BLUEGRASS MUSIC TO A DISC ON MY COMPUTER. I HAVE A HP COMPUTER 7850. IT HAS CD-ROM AND CD-RW. I AM TOLD I NEED TO CONVERT MY MP3 TO WAZ, I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DO THIS, HELP BILL

Re: HELP

if the tracks r in mp3 get a freeware audio file converter from this sites software section. u convert the mp3 to .wav files. these are easily burned to a disc as CDA files which are playable by any cdplayer. if u just want to keep the songs to play on your pc cdrom u can burn them as mp3 files no problem.

Re: backing tracks

You can type in "backing" or "karaoke" when you use Audiogalaxy or any other mP3 site.
It is also possible to make your own backing tracks with a editor, Maybe Peak or ProTools if you have a Mac, or SoundForge if you have a PC. If you find any suitable software pls let me know. AHogie@excite.com Also look at my reply to Karaoke above your posted question.

Seasound Driver Dilemma

I have a situation here and I'm wondering is anyone could perhaps you could shed some light on it.

I just got a new Mac G4 733 with OS 9.2.
I have the Seasound Solo w/expansion unit.
I discovered that to my disappointment, the Seasound does NOT work with OS 9.2
because of the driver.
I also discovered that Seasound just went out of business so I can't call them. for any updates.

Seasound uses a driver that loads an an extension and also has an ASIO driver.

* Does anyone know someone who is using the Seasound with OS 9.2?
* Does anyone who someone who could--or has--configured a driver to work with OS 9.2?

I am a pro working in the in the music biz in Los Angeles and am in the middle of a project.
So I am hoping to resolve this issue as soon as possible.

Thanks if anyone can help.

Chordally yours,
Paul Chiten

Re: Seasound Driver Dilemma

I was wondering if you ever resolved the Solo EX and G4 OS 9.2 driver problem and how you did it?

Weird...

The is only one quick solution. Install OS 9.1 Any apple OS owner is allowed a free copy of any previous OS versions and you can pick one up (with a small burning charge I suspect) from any apple reseller.

I think it's a shame about Seasound although these things happen. They are obliged to support the product for 5 years in the uk (it's the law) but maybe it's different in the states. I have a Korg1212 audio card that doesn't have driver updates anymore. It's a pain because it's a good card but Korg don't consider it's worth supporting the customers that bought it past a couple of years after it's stopped selling. This is £&^%@ of course but what can you do in this greedy world.

I don't think OS9.1 will install over 9.2 or it's not recommended. Reinstall the system with 9.1, that's all I can think of..

Best of luck.

Delay when trying to record a second track

I have a few different recording software products and when trying to use them I get a delay on the second track I try to record.
I have both Cakewalk guitar tracks and home studio,
Also I have downloaded a trial version of Protools that is real cool, except for the fact that I cannot sync the tracks up. If there is anyone who can help me figure this out I would be Grateful

Re: Delay when trying to record a second track

the problem is 'latency' and it's a result of your soundcard drivers (or hardware). Try using different drivers 4 your card. ASIO are the best DirectX second best.

Re: Delay when trying to record a second track

I can tell you that depending on what type of music software you have and what computer you are using. It is a must to isolate your soundcard period. In my case I had the same problem I had to completely single out my sound card and dump WinMe period. Make sure that no other programs are running turn off the net if you have DSL and you will be fine. You can use PCI Steering along side of your card anything else will stop you in your tracks. If you need assistance any further feel free to email me with questions. JGR

question for you...

you mean hidden tracks like the track 99 of marilyn manson's antichrist superstar?

or what kind of tracks do you need?

Re: question for you...

: you mean hidden tracks like the track 99 of marilyn manson's antichrist superstar?

: or what kind of tracks do you need?

They are not really songs it's just like weird noises and words played backwards. Like on Smells Like Children a couple of minutes after the last song some weird noises start playing and then he says "Do you wanna play broken glass against the head game?"

PLEASE!! A3000/hardisk problem...

Hello, I have an A3000 v2 with a hard disk inside but since I have connected it to my PC, my sampler didn’t recognize my hard disk anymore. It can see there is a hard disk, he can see its name, but it doesn’t see any of my programs and samples.
I don’t believe it is blank because it takes a certain time to erase 400 Mo and I didn’t notice it when it was connected to my PC.
Do you know if there is a solution to my problem so that I can sleep normally.
Or maybe if I can connect my hard disk to a computer even if it formatted for Yamaha
Thank you so much to anybody who can give me a clue
David
