MIDI Gates

Does anyone know where I can find some MIDI gates to download - I've been experimenting myself, but I'd like some made by other people as well. Thank you.

Volume

I am a novice CIWA. I have wav files I need to reduce the volume of on my web.

Be gentle.

Re: Volume

There are audio editors in the download area on this site which would allow you to change the gain of a wave file..

Encore Music Files

I have Encore 3.0.6. - and wonder about the possibility of taking the disks on which I have many compositions and arrangements (Macintosh) and transferring them to disks on my PC. AND/OR the possibility of bringing that Encore Software from the Mac to this PC. Is this just a pipe dream on my part?

Re: Encore Music Files

Me too. I have MANY compositions done on my old laptop with Encore and I'd sure like to retrieve them somehow. Have you heard anything? Thanx.

Midi loopback problems

Hello there i have been having major problems with my midi loopback, im using a sw1000, usb 2x2 and a delta 44. Ok for instance i will lay down my audio (guitars etc) and then i will record some midi lets say drums then when i set my audio device from M Audio delta ASIO to ASIO SW&DS 32 and mute the audio tracks leaving the midi track and the blank stereo audio track on playback with the audio track selected for recording, the midi starts to build up loudly repeating the first note on the midi track im not at all sure of what could be causing this problem but im hoping somone out there can help cheers.

Sequencing

Do you of any places or sites that have instrument specific music either midi or wav files. An example would be: If I have a three piece band consisting of Bass, Drums, and Guitar and I want to play say "You Can Leave Your Hat On" by Joe cocker, I would need keys with maybe a horn or click track accompaniment. I could download this, write it to a CD and hit play on a rack mount CD player and the rest of us could play along. Does such a place exist?

Re: Sequencing

100s of sites out there

Converting a Cubasis file to mp3.

How do I turn my Cubasis file (made up of midi and wav)into a CD recording? I want the arrangement to be put onto CD but other than recording it onto a Minidisc and then playing that back onto the computer to save as a wav. file I can't think of a way. Can you record onto a CD whilst playing the track from the programme?

Re: Converting a Cubasis file to mp3 /midi

How do I turn my Cubasis Scorewriter file (made up of .all)into a CD recording via mp3 or midi? Is this possible? Thanks

Re: Converting a Cubasis file to mp3.

I don't know Cubasis well at all. The thing to do generally, is to get the midi instruments into the multitracker as audio. Some sequencers will 'play through' audio coming into it's mixer but I don't think Cubase does.

Once all the instruments have their own audio tracks, you could mix them down to a two track stereo mix. Check the manual, I think it's just export...

You now have a wave file therefore you can do what you want with it..

ra to mp3 or wav

please help I want to know how to covert ra. into mp3 or wav.
thanks in advance!

Re: ra to mp3 or wav

Best, or most viable soulution, If you want to use this type of file download Real Player.

However in the distant past a company made a program for this but legally settled with Real Player and discontinue production, support, or connection with the program - the newer or older versions.

I do not have a copy, and the program would have cost you $35. You will need to look long and hard for an older version - of this program - "steambox ripper version 7 or version 9 - not any other version...

Re: Mp3 to casette conversion

There is no conversion to do as such.

If you can hear it coming out of the computer, then just plug the computer's audio output into the cassette tape recorder, get a level, and then press record... Simple...

Burning CD's

I would like the information on burning cd's but converting them from MP3's to something else before I burn them.When I go to burn a cd and it says that it is MP3 it wont let me burn. I was wondering if there was a way I could go around this?
Janice.

Burning CD's - Mp3 or .WAV format?

You are trying to put mp3 on a CD in audio format. Mp3 are music that is compressed, and these types of files need to be burned in a data format. However, then you will need a MP3 player, or listen to them on another computer. I purchased a portable and a new unit for my car that plays MP3. It is so nice not to need to change CDs every 5 minutes while driving.

Janice if you want to be able to play them in most CD players then you need to make an audio disk and burn .wav files onto the CD. I use a stand-alone program to convert MP3 to .wav occasionally when I want to produce an audio CD.

A good free program to have is “MP3Decode.” It is a fast, high quality, and easy to use decoder to convert all those mp3 files you have collected to .WAV file format. Allowing you to create the .WAV files needed to for Audio CD R that will play on a good number CD players. http://www.etalonsoft.com/mp3decode.html

If you want, a Free combination program to rip music from your CDs, and save in .WAV or MP3 file format then I would suggest CDex. Try Cdex 1,40 it is free software.
http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/Cdex/

However, Steve is correct, many people can notice the difference of an orginal .WAV file over compressed MP3s.

I have a "Tin Ear" so always keep everything in MP3 format. My car is not quiet, so the background noise would not allow many people to distinguish the difference, in which file format was playing. Also, the ear phones used with my portable are inexpensive (I keep breaking them), and my computer speakers are under a hundred so MP3 files are good for me.

Depending on your computer platform, there are many burning tools that will allow you to burn a combination of Mp3's and wave files (uncompressed full quality).

Note though, that once an Mp3 has been made of a wave file, there is no regaining the quality lost during the Mp3 compression routine..

Writing and transposing music

I need the name of an easy software program that will write and transpose music, either shareware or to purchase.

Thanks

Re: Writing and transposing music

: I need the name of an easy software program that will write and transpose music, either shareware or to purchase.

: Thanks

I recommend PrintMusic! by Coda Technologies. It is very easy to learn, is economical, and will take care of most music printing/arranging/transposing needs for scores of up to 24-parts.

Re: Writing and transposing music

I WOULD ONLY RECOMMEND DOING IT WITH A MIDI INSTRUMENT,THAT WAY,WHATEVER YOU PLAY,THE PHRASING AND TIMING IN THE SCORE WILL BE PERFECT,CAKEWALK COSTS ABOUT $40.00,HOOK IT UP TO A MIDI KEYBOARD,PLAY WHATEVER YOU WANT AND IT WILL SCORE IT FOR YOU

I REALLY NEED EMC STYLE WORKS for Yamaha

I need the EMC style works for my Yamaha
Can someone PLZ send it to me.

audio software.

I am looking for audio software for the mac that is considerably affordable, say under $200, yet still allows me to multitrack at least ten tracks. also, I am looking for something that is easy to use.

I basically want to be dealing with an old analog tascam 24 track, except running it onscreen, for easier mixing and transferring to cd.

I have checked out Peak and cakewalk Metro, yet they are still either to expensive or complicated for me to want to use.

if you know of any appropriate programs, please let me know, either write back, or email me. thank you.

Re: audio software.

n-Track would be worth looking at.

Here it is:

1) Rename the file extension from RMJ to RA. These are both real audio file types, and are in the same exact format. You can use a free program called Smart Rename from cNet (www.download.com); I just renamed the file in Windows Explorer.
2)Then you need to convert these RA or RMJ files to mp3. You can use dBpowerAMP Music Converter 9.0 (http://www.dbpoweramp.com/download.htm). After downloading this, you will need to download a codec from the dbpoweramp website that converts RA files to wav or Mp3: http://www.dbpoweramp.com/codec-central-ra.htm
And here are all the codecs (for so many file formats!): http://www.dbpoweramp.com/codec-central.htm
These programs are free.
