convert sng to wav ?

Do you know of any program that will convert sng files to wav or midi files?

Re: convert sng to wav ?

In what program do u encounter sng files or where do you get them from?

Re: convert sng to wav ?

: In what program do u encounter sng files or where do you get them from?

sng files are generated by n-Tracks Studio - they hold all the *mix* data for the song; channel settings, aux sends, cut'n'paste points, etc. There's no audio data in 'em, so the short answer is no, you can't convert 'em to wav's.

Re: convert sng to wav ?

there u go - export as wav file in n-track

midi out device

I TRIED TO LISTEN TO A SONG AND I GOT A MESSAGE THAT SAID "NO MIDI OUT DEVICE AVAILABLE" HOW DO I FIX THIS?

Re: midi out device

First, midi is programming, settings that can be sent to an outputdevice such as an extern keyboard. so the file must be sent to that keyboard and it will receive and play the file. its just a kind of language between midi-input and midi-output.

Re: midi out device

hello allie.

the song was a midi file no doubt?? suffix .mid?
well midi files are played by midi players generally. your soundcard should act as a midi player and have a builtin midi soundbank for the purpose. check windows multimedia setup options Start>settings>control pannel and select a n output for midi here. if there is not one you can purchase + download a software midi player like Yamaha XG-50 or Roland Virtual Soundcanvas. there may also be freeware ones available.

Big Money for Musicians

**EARN BIG CASH FAST!!** I know you'll be a little skeptical, but reading this really can make you a lot of money! A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought, to myself "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyways, it said that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured "what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00, right?" Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT! within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over $1,000.00! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more than that on the lottery! Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, WHY it works... Also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it. I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you will start making more money than you thought possible by doing something so easy! Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (print it out or download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come in! : It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus postage) : IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal; and it is 99% no risk - it really works! : If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends.

PLEASE NOTE: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions. : You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business your product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made from the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from people like you and me asking to be included in that list.

Here are the 4 easy steps to success---

STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now, get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent theft). Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it! Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal. Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses: #1) D. Stevens:1394 Tenagra Way :Columbus, Oh 43228 #2) E Hageman : 748 South Acadian #3 Baton Rouge, LA 70806 #3) Steven Birch : 7751 Yonge St., P.O. Box 515, Thornhill, Ontario, Canada. L3T 4A2 #4) D. Alvarez: 6152 N.W. 181 Terr. Cir. W. : Miami, Fl 33015 #5)Nathan Bollinger:830 Huasna Rd. Arroyo Grande Ca, 93420 #6) Gregory Levin : P.O. Box 5853, Atlanta, GA 31107-0853 —

STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, all you have to do once you’ve deleted the first name is move the rest of the numbers up one (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc.) and add YOUR name and information as number 6 on the list.—

STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to original as possible. Now, post the new article to at least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close to 250,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make! (You won't get very much unless you post like crazy.) This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws. : Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money, you can use it again, and again. : PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are of integrity, the program will continue and the money that so many others have received will come your way. NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you, either on a computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you. This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might be a good idea to wrap the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft.) So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position you will be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH! What an opportunity for only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above) Send it now, add your own name to the list and you're in business! ---DIRECTIONS FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS----

-Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the computer's memory. ---

Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that after deleting the first name, and moving the others up one, you can add your name to the list. ---

Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your postings in different settings, you'll always have this file to go back to. ---

Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.) ---

Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group, click the post message button. You're done with your first one!

Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE! BUT, YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within days! If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT**. So, can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works? I think so. People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really work.

ISO 9660 Level 2

I've just bought a Kenwood KDC-MP6090R in-car MP3 player, which can play MP3 files directly off the CD. However, to get a proper title, the disc needs to be written to ISO 9660 Level 2 standard, which gives 31 characters for the file name. Easy CD Creator v4, which I have at the moment, only does Level 1 (8 characters).

Does anyone know of a CD burner which does Level 2?

Yamaha Keyboard

Hi - I am looking for software to help increase the range of sounds I get from my Yamaha keyboard - anyone any ideas

Re: Yamaha Keyboard

well if it is midi compatible u can use it as a 'controller keyboard' which means it would act as a data generator for a soundsource on your computer. Many programs will give u a controllable soundsource while most soundcards have built-in 'general midi' soundbanks. Look at your soundcard software and try demos of sequencer programs loaded with VST instruments like cubase, logic, cakewalk. You can play samples of real instruments easily in programs with samplers like fruityloops, orion, reason or load VST samplers into sequencers. There may be dedicated only 'soundsource programs' but i don't know of them.

DEA error

I get an error message DAE -199 on lounching protools.
I'm usinga brand new 733 G4 and protools is the first sowtware (other then the system software, 9.2) that I've installed.

On another, slighly older, dual 500 G4 mac (system 9.1), I get an -6011 error message, after protools have been working smoothly for months.
I also have logic 4.7 on it (same error message)

Any ideas?

Thank you.

Virus warning

Yesterday afternoon I opened my Norton antivirus program and decided to make rescue disk. These are disk that allow you to boot from floppies if your computer shuts down because of a virus. They suggest you test the disk to see if they work correctly. So I did this and was surprised to find my computer was infected with W95.CHI also known as the Chernobyl virus. This virus is programed to launch on the 26th of the month,yesterday. This virus can corrupt every EXE. file on your computer and prevent it from even turning on. I have been turning Norton antivirus off because I didn't want anything running in the background while doing audio work and forgot to scan downloaded files. Also a possibility I picked it up from a floppy I borrowed from a friend. Lesson learned. Using tools from the Symantec website I isolated the virus, deleted it, and repaired my EXE. files. If you haven't run a virus scan latley I suggest you do it now because if you have W95.CHI it just launched itself. Also as soon as I removed the virus I backed up my entire harddrive to CD. So, any more virus stories out there?

No cracks here only full retail software. I tracked the source of the virus and yes it was a floppy disk of Sim City 2000. Thanks go out to my friend Chris. Thing is if you scan everything you download or install there is no problem ,unless you are one of the lucky few to discover a new virus, but even then an antivirus program will discover anomalies. After you make sure your computer is clean then backup your harddrive to CD and even if the whole thing crashes you're covered. CDs and burners are cheap it's really cheap insurance.

Help

If any one is outher there that can get rid of the W95.CHI virus please help me. I got it and have no idea how to get rid of it. If anyone can help me email me at Laneshumway@hotmail.com I will be forever in you debt. Thank you

Re: Virus warning

yes, well just remember that when you run so-called cracks for some kinds of software you quite often end up with a trojan or some other nasty virus on your system. I lost songs, short stories and personal info all because i ran a crack for a $20 program. Damned expensive lesson, that.

Beginner Still Needs Help

First of all, thanks to Kozida for responding. But my question is: how do I get sound (any sound) from the source (guitar, keyboard, voice, etc.) into the cpu. At this time I'm not at all concerned about speaker emulators or impedence - I simply want to know HOW or WHAT I need to plug in between the source and the cpu, and I know about the rca jacks in the back. I'm guessing that I can't just plug my guitar into the back of the cpu and that I probably need some kind of amplifier. Also does anyone have any basic (and I'm talking real basic here, pre-beginner) info about digital recording in general and for the Mac in specific? Thanks

Re: Beginner Still Needs Help

You are correct in assuming you just can't plug a guitar or mike ik the inlets on the back.
You need what is called a pre-amplifier.
Preferably one especially for guitars if that's what you wanna do. Microphones too have to be pre-amplified.
In most cases, those things have an input and output and a powercord.
There is a program with which you can hear your guitar on your pc without those pre-amps, nut you need a mike-in on your pc
Anyway, here's the link for it : www.guitarfx.com

Reloading Scorewriter

I purchased Scorewriter last year for my PC laptop. My PC crashed and burned (it was very old). I have since replaced it with a new desktop. My problem is: I tried to load Scorewriter again and it asked me to type in a number that I can no longer find. I remember typing this number in when I first purchased the program. Now I'm afraid that some of the paperwork containing this number has been lost in the shuffle. I really like this program. Can you help me????
