Re: I want to burn my music (wave and midi files) on to a CD.

: : I am lost. I can't seem to figure out what to do to
: : copy my songs that I wrote using Magix recording
: : studio, onto a blany cd. I have a recordable cd
: : writer and have recorded lots of songs that I want to
: : show to people by putting them on cd. I have Wave and
: : MIDI files in my songs. Please if you know how,
: : tell me the steps that I need to go through to
: : get my songs on cd. I thought maybe converting them to
: : another format but how would I put them back together?
: : Please list recomended software by name.
: : Thank you so much. Jason

: hi!
: first of all, u should have a CD burner.
: then convert your mid or wave file into .cdr which can be read
: by your CD player.
: for midi file, if u get cakeWalk , it's easy.
: Just import your sound into CakeWalk and choose MIXDOWN AUDIO, later
: choose EXPORT AUDIO and choose export as WAVE.

: Now u get all wave file ready. Next step is using a CD writing program
: to burn CD for u. Many of them will automactically convert your .wav
: into .cdr. Just click the option that u want to make audio CD.Here i
: suggest program EASY CD CREATOR.

Re: Midi how to get started?

: : I have purchased a Yamaha PSR-520 Keyboard. I am interested in composing on the keyboards while the music is writing on the compouter screen. That is what they tell me is midi. It sounds too good to be true so can you tell me what type of computer is compatiable with my keyboard so i can get started? Thanks.

: Any PC would be fine. You could also use a Macintosh, Atari or Amiga.

Re: Cubasis and basic home recording

: I am making a first attempt at setting up a small, basic recording studio. It has been suggested that I pick up Cubasis for my laptop computer, a small mixer with good mic preamps and two good recording mic's. While I won't be able to record multiple tracks (which I don't need at this point), this appears to be a relatively cheap and easy way to record some basic stuff. Any comments on this setup and particulary on whether Cubasis is a good choice of music software?

Re: HOW DO I BURN CD'S

Is there any way to remove static, noise etc. from vocals

Recorded vocals, but due to backround noise they came out bad. Is there any way to remove that extra noise, or do I just have to rerecord?

Re: Is there any way to remove static, noise etc. from vocals

Those noise reduction programs are quite amazing. It's well worth a go.

I am concerned though that you are getting noise on your vocals. You would be suprised how much more of a quality sound you will get by following simple audio engineering philosophy. Try pushing a mattress up against the corner of a room and attempt to fit a vocal mic in there. It will eliminate not only the sound of the room (which is likely to degredate the chance of getting that professional isolation) but will keep the wiring sound of electronic equipment at bay. Thick curtains are good for mid and high frequency control. It's suprising what you can get away with using common furniture... ;-/

Keep your leads short and expensive (ish...) and try and spread your power requirements to other wall sockets, on different ring mains. A build up of current to earth can cause many audio interference...

Check out that software first though..!

Re: Is there any way to remove static, noise etc. from vocals

Hi Guys,
I do a lot of recording of seminars for my business. Will the software be able to isolate the crowd and amphitheather noise from the speaker's?

Re: Is there any way to remove static, noise etc. from vocals

Have a look in the software section under restoration. There
are several programs that are designed to remove noise and so
on from recordings. How effecive they are depends on how
noisy the original recording is.

Re: Is there any way to remove static, noise etc. from vocals

Re: PXD to WAV Conversion

: : I've looked all over for software that will
: : convert .pxd loops to .wav files and there
: : is nothing out there. This is a drag because
: : the Ejay interface is limited and hard to use.

: : Here's the best way to convert the files (it's still a pain, but it works and it's not too bad):

: : Download WaveKnife from:

: : http://www.spacetaxi.de/sf/waveknife.html

: : It takes a single .wav file (that contains a bunch
: : of samples) and splits it into multiple .wav
: : files of the individual samples.

: : 1) In your Ejay program, set up one track to
: : output in stereo. Then set up another track
: : to output to the left and another to output
: : to the right. I use the 3 tracks closest to
: : the bottom (less space to drag).

: : 2) Drag each loop into the appropriate track:
: : - Mono loops go into the stereo output
: : track;
: : - "Left (L)" loops go into the left output
: : track;
: : - Line up the "Right (R)" loops with their
: : corresponding "Left (L)" loop in the right
: : output track.

: : 3) Make sure to leave a space between each
: : loop. I skipped 1 "numbered" area between each.

: : 4) Keep lining up loops until you reach the end
: : of the song area (around number 1000).

: : 5) Export this "song" as a .wav file.

: : 6) Run WaveKnife on the .wav file that you
: : exported and it'll split the individual loops
: : into .wav files.

: : This method isn't perfect, but it's about 95%
: : effective. If the loop has silence at the end of
: : it, the silence will get cut off (so the loop
: : won't play evenly). You can fix this by adding the right amount of silence in an audio editor.

: : The other main problem is that the new individual
: : .wav files will have to be normalized (to maximize
: : volume). Many audio editors will do batch
: : processing for jobs like this.

: : The one big advantage is that the all of the Ejay
: : loops that were meant to be stereo are now single
: : true stereo files (not 2 mono files that you have
: : to line up and pan).

: : Have fun!

analog audio to digital cd's

How do I transfer audio cassetes to my Imac for cd burning

Re: analog audio to digital cd's

Get a lead that connects from the audio output of the cassette machine to the minjack stereo input on your iMac. Get a program like Coaster (I think, check the file area on this board) and record them in as AIF files, (it's easy) then burn those directly to CD using something like iTunes...

Trouble extracting with the CD-DA Extractor

Every time after extracting tracks to MP3, I need to close and restart CD-DA Extractor. Otherwise, If I'd like to extract other disk, or tracks I get an error message "ezcddax.exe has generated and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program. An error log is been created."
I did install the program on different computers and OS, but result is the same.

Thanks for any help.

You could use CDex instead

e-mail

Hello Everybody!
I'm searching a job, in Italy, and I'm interested in a programme that helps me to find the e-mail for the bosses of different offices I find. (for example: www.janusek@janusek.com. I knew that the boss is mr. Vladislav Janusek but I'm not able to find his personal e-mail)

Is there somebody can helps me??????

thank's a lot!!!!!!

Re: i need help on finding a programme,

Hi,

I am a little confused about something. You want to record
what you are listening to, as in audio from another
music software, computer game, the internet, etc? or you mean
a program that will record what you are playing, for example
you have the computer mic plugged in and you are singing?

There are two programs that spring to mind that should
do all that you are asking for, no matter what you meant by
that.

1. Total Recorder : Total recorder will record what you are
LISTENING to in a simple format like you described. A simple
record button that you have to press and it will
record whatever your computer is playing. THEN
you can save as wave.

2. Cooledit Pro : A multitrack recording software. You can record,
rewind, forward, etc... However it wont record
what your computer is playing. It will rather record
what you want to record (ex. the mic and singing).
You can also open up ready wave files. You can then save all you
did in as a wave unless you have the mp3 plug in then you can
save it as mp3 right away.

Both programs are shareware and in my opinion excellent
in terms of achieving and performing the functions
they are supposed to. If I understood what you are asking for
then I think these two programs are ideal. They are also
relatively simple to understand...relatively! ;)

Hope that helps,
Hish
