Joining of multiple wave files into a single

An audio editor will sort this out. Find them via <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/">http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/</a>

Pirate Software

Helo.
If i live On the rich West i would go to shop to buy
software.It is so confortable.
In a countru where I live ,we have no money to buy electricity to get warm on winter.
All money we gave to food and medicine.
Only luxury is weak Computer.

Re: Pirate Software

That's still not a good enough reason to steal software. If everyone
did it, nobody would bother writing anything and the amount of software
would steadily dwindle to nothing.

(If you have no electricity, what does your computer run on?)

Re: Pirate Software

I don't agree with piracy either, but the troll raises a point. A US$20 program isn't necessarily cheap. It depends on where you live and how much you earn.

Re: Pirate Software

here's a good reason to steal software - the evaluation copies you can get are shit, take propellerheads' Reason for example, the demo version has a ridiculous time limit, how are you supposed to work out if you want to fork out that much money if you can only play with it for 10 minutes before it shuts off and you have to start again? Thats why the crack is good - so far all i've seen is a crack for the time limit, save is still disabled - so anyone who was seriously considering buying the software would still have to buy it (and even if the save was enabled, you still miss out on the sounds cd). So CCS or whatever you call yourselves (the guys who are spying on us) here's something for you - I admit to using a crack for the reason demo to disable the time limit...which let me REALLY evaluate the program, which led to me buying it. So there.

Digital REcording Set UP

I pastor a church and would like to record our services to the hard drive of a computer. I've been told that it would be more efficient for editing.
Speaking and Music is what we'll be recording. What hardware and software will we need to beging with?
Thank you.

Re: Digital REcording Set UP

I would recommend against using a computer for this. Not only is it more likely
to go wrong, it also means moving a large piece of equipment around. A better
bet would be to use a good quality tape deck (DAT is better) and record onto tape
first. Then you can transfer it to the computer for editing.

If you still want to go the computer route, you'll need a good sound recording
program (Cool Edit or similar) and very good microphone(s).

What does DSP mean?

What does DSP mean?

Re: What does DSP mean?

DSP = Digital Sound Processing.

Basically, a DSP unit does digitally what you used to use
pedals and such like for in the past. So, whereas before you'd
have echo machines, flangers, wah-wah pedals and so on, a DSP
does all this by digital modification.

Effects processors

I'm looking for an effects processor that can receive 8(or more) seperet tracks of audio and assign a different effect to each track. I've been searching around on the internet and reading product specs, but I don't really know what to look for. If anyone knows of a processor like this, or what the specs would say if it had this capability (or both), please respond.

Re: Gemini PMX-18 Mixer

My mixer isn't responding (functionally) to my record despite the unit showing power reaction. I changed all the components (i.e. turntable, rca inputs, etc.) to see the prob. -- and i've concluded that it must be the mixer input ends. What should I do?

Nothing seems to happen when I try to play WMA files

Every WMA file that I try to play, doesn't work. It just says "BUFFERING" the whole time but nothing ever happens. It used to work. I have tried files that used to work that I've heard a million times, but nothing. I've gone to many different websites and still nothing. On some files it "finishes" buffering and just says "ready", but when I press play it just starts buffering again. It just happened one day when I got home; I didn't do anything unusual either. Please help if you can.

Cubase Questions

I have downloaded the Cubase VST Demo, and I am wondering how do I install other VST Instruments into it?

I am not sure if this is allowed in the demo version!? But I was told Cubase is the program to get and then I have been hearing a lot about the VST Instruments that can be added. So I wanted to give it a try!

But I am so clueless on how to get the other instruments setup or installed (Where do I go?), does the demo come with demos of some VST Instruments already installed (How do I setup and use these?) and what do I need to controll the instruments (an midi keyboard or something?) I was under the inpression that I did not need any hardware (am I wrong?).

For instance if there is an VST Drum machine (is there?) how would I set it up and play?

If anyone can recommend a book or a site for Cubase newbie help I would greatly appreciate it!!!

Thanks again!

convertor wav or mp3 to xm format

do you have any ??

Re: convertor wav or mp3 to xm format

: do you have any ??

I WANT ONE TOO

Re: convertor wav or mp3 to xm format

as far as I know, such a thing would not be possible - doesnt the xm format store information about the tracks and instruments in the song, which couldn't be recovered from those other formats

Breaking up a mix into multiple tracks.

My problem: As a Novice DJ, I can basically record a whole mix on to my hard drive. To burn on to a CD, I would like to break that one mix into multiple tracks. Is there software that does this. Right now I Copy & paste, but that takes for ever & leaves gaps between tracks on ocassions. I would appreciate any help.

Re: Breaking up a mix into multiple tracks.

Go to our <a href="/smm/cat/AUDIO_EDITORS/">audio editors</a> section to find programs that accurately 'split' large audio files.

I want to become a famous singer

can you help me become a famous singer I make up my own sngs and sing them how can I go on stage and sing earn money and be happy

Re: I want to become a famous singer

well...im aiming 4 that too....i write my own songs, and i sing too. my influences are blink-182, simple plan, avril lavigne, no doubt, sum41, and a couple others too.

i dont know exactly how u can, but it will take a few years, you need to practice your voice, and if you wanna play an instrument, practice that too.
write songs, have them looked over by friends, family, and family friends...see if they like them. sing in church (if ya go 2 one) in a choir, @ festivals, or carnivals. (i haven't yet...)

MOST OF ALL: Have confdence in yourself, don't care what other people think of you...how u dress, how u act, or what u say, or how ur voice sounds. (I am still working on that one...having confidence) (lol)

create a demo, then send it to a record label...they might nopt even listen 2 it...but they will eventually it might take a couple of months. then thats all I know then u r on ur own...

Re: I want to become a famous singer

several heads are better than one - start or join a band and then with some experience you could take it on your own.

Re: I want to become a famous singer

I think they lyrics of <a href="http://www.tism.com.au/lyrics/derigueurmortis.html">'If You're Not Famous At Fourteen, You're Finished'</a> make a lot of sense.

But, seriously, no one here is going to be able to help you. You're going to have to do a lot of hard work yourself. You're going to need management and you'll have to read a lot of <a href="http://www.musiciansbooks.com/">books</a> on how the business works. You'll need great material and a 'look'.

If you want to make a living from singing, I think you can do that (if you can sing) with a lot of hard work and planning . But, as for fame, I think you've got as much chance of that as I do. It's a long way to the top, but the fall is fast. Just sing and enjoy life.

You're gonna need a lot tougher attitude than you've got to make in the music business. You are more likely to be struck by lightning than to be "discovered". Two things you need to be a singer are a pa system with a good microphone, and a way to record what you do so other people can hear your music. Good Luck!
