VR8 to Wav converter anyone?

I recently bought a BR-8 recorder and already own a zipdisk. There was a letter written almost the same way in early november, but i basically found the response to be gibberish. If somekindhearted soul could tell me how to convert a VR8 File to a Wav file so that i could burn them onto cd's i would appreciate it. If at all necessary which cable would i need to connect the mixer directly to my computer and be able to burn cd's im fairly new at this and im having some trouble. Thanks.

Hi,

I am not familiar with the vr8 or the br8, but can you play the
vr8 file atleast in your machine. If you can PLAY the file, then
I think there's a solution to convert it, if you can't play, then
I am really not sure. Let me know. Email me at

Using samples from MTV Music Generator?

I just picked up MTV Music Generator for the PC from Best Buy for $10 today. It supposedly has about 1300 'riffs', most, if not all of them at 44 KHz. And the reviews on the net tend to say that the sound is good. This meant to me that there are likely some .wavs tucked away on the disk. I'm always looking for off-the-wall samples. I was hoping to directly take them off and use them in a more professional sampler/sequencer.

But they seem to be tucked away in a CAB file, which I can't pry open with WinZip because it's not in standard format. It looks like there are over 200 MB of samples in there somewhere and I want them. Any thoughts or experience on this?

It looks like you can pull each sample out and create a song that consists of nothing but that sample, and then save it to WAV, and probably open and deal with it in your sequencer or wave editor, but that sounds really painstaking.

Thanks for any help, guys.

Take care,

Re: mid to mp3/wav convertor

Have not found any free convertors
But if you are in a hurry try Jet Audio, its an old prog, but works with XP, just play the midi and record into either wave or mp3 format.
hope this helps

Soundforge saving using MP3

My problem is in Soundforge 4.5: when I save a loop with the MP3 codec I end up having a slight amount of silence inserted at the beginning of the files.

I've gone through the "preferences" options and ticked the "Offset markers/regions when saving using MPEG Layer 3", which is supposed to shift all markers and regions to compensate for this delay when saving but this doesn't work. I still got the same amount of silence hence ruining my loop cos' I can't stream it with this goddam break.

Please help me.

Try the section of this site called mp3machine (www.mp3machine.com) and look under DECODERS. I use HPL Decoder. It's free and fast and has a great GUI and you can do batch conversion.

cant get any midi

I cant get any midi through in cubase. I've got a midisport 2x2 interface, connected to my apple mac g4, when running cubase the midi light is constantly on. All the cables are connected right but when i go into studio setup it says the midisport cannot be found yet i have kept reinstalling it. But i can choose the midisport on the normal page ie where you can choose, cubase, quicktime etc.. to run the midi through. I hope this makes sense, can anyone help??
