Re: Cd burner

Hi Ashley, You might simply select the file and change its name to make sure the extension is .MP3

Have you tried that?

Soundforge 4.5

I've had soundforge 4.5 for ages and what I want to do is record my dj-ing onto soundforge and put in track markers without making a gap, then record it onto CD. I've been told its possible but no-one who has the program seems to know how!

Can you help?

Re: Soundforge 4.5

You need to have cd architect, which is a seperate program and loads itself into the tool menu of soundforge. You then add your soundforge .wav file to cd architect (add to audio pool) and you right click your mouse and a pop up menu will appear. select add track and a track marker will be placed at the spot selected. Add your tracks where you want your mixes to start or end or in the middle, whatever. CD Architect was made by sonic foundry for soundforge but is no longer available and only works with 4.5.

cd creator engine initialization

I removed some software and defraged my C: drive now when I try to initialize Easy CD Creator I get this message Engine initialization has failed: could not create the engine. I have uninstalled the reinstalled the software and still get the message.

Re: cd creator engine initialization

Hmmm...

Was Java part of the programs you removed?

Re: cd creator engine initialization

Hop over to www.roxio.com and have a look at the discussion groups there, you're more likely to get an answer from one of the regulars there than here.

sound cards

I wasn't sure if this came up before but can you guys recommend a good sound card.

I have been looking at Creatives Audigy Platinum and was wondering what else there was out there. There some downsides with the audigy I have found such as the latency ratings and all the extra crap it has to load in order to run it. I was wondering what you guys use.

Music software companies like Native Instruments, Steinberg and Propellerheads ask for latency of under 20ms and Asio Driver Capable.

I basically need to upgrade my Sound card for music creation and need midi ports, low latency, and asio driver capable. I need to be able to run a oxygen 8 and a korg electribe on it. I want to be able to run as close to realtime as possible without delay.

Re: sound cards

I have just bought a new card called the Audiophile 2496 by m-audio. Check it out, I believe it has everything you're looking for. Here is the link...

lyric composing software

Is there such software to compose lyrics for the lazy songwriter

Re: lyric composing software

Computers can't even compose a proper sentence without a lot of rules covering grammar and such like, so getting one to write lyrics is even more difficult. I'm afraid you'll have to do the work yourself, or get a songwriter to do it for you.

executive who said if computers could write songs
he'd save a fortune in royalties :)

Hi-speed tape transfer question

I need to save time when transfering a bunch of old reel-to-reel audio tapes to disk. Does anyone know if there is a software package that will allow me to play those tapes back at 4X original speed and then correct them back to the normal speed on the PC? The tapes were originally recorded at 1 7/8 ips and if played back at 7 1/2 ips the transfer time can be cut by a factor of 4. Thanx.

gospel song by Charlie Pride-trying to locate cd

Could you tell me the name of the song that he sings that has the words something like "river that flows by the throne of God". Also, where could I buy it on cd?

Notation

Is there acomputor software package that would allow me to download a pice of music and for my computor to give me the notation/score for that piece of music.

Re: Notation

: Is there acomputor software package that would allow me to download a pice of music and for my computor to give me the notation/score for that piece of music.

This can only be done with great accuracy in very
limited ways such as music which is monophonic
(only one note playing at a time) or music which
is polyphonic but only one instrument playing -
like a piano.

Some software will try to create a score from
polyphonic music with multiple instruments playing
but with limited results as it usually won't be
able to identify the instruments even if it can
identify the notes and chords.

The type of software you are looking for is a 'WAV
to MIDI' converter which will create a MIDI file
which you can then edit using a <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/cat/NOTATION/" target="_top">Notation</a> program.

Go to the <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/cat/FORMAT_CONVERTERS/" target="_top">Format Converters</a> category on this site - try
IntelliScore as it's a pretty good one.

Jason.

PS - you have to download the music first.

vst tip.....

Hi

could you possibly suggest which free vst plugins are worthed to download? There is such a big load around and I do not have a clue:

are there any free instruments worthed to stuck with?

Thanks in advance...Ted

Re: vst tip.....

Check out these great sites on VSTi's
You'll find Reviews of most of them...

A lot of the times it can be down to personal preference as to what kind of instruments you seek.

http://www.thepluginlist.com/

No way to download

I'm currently using webtv and cannot download music, does anyone know of any web based sites that I can listen to music online?

some help??

Hello dear All.
I search a software for recording some songs in stream. I mean i've a preferated radio show on internet (sonic tonic on www.basic.ch) and i would like record it but i didn't find any software who could record stream songs... could you light my lamp please.

Best regards.

Sylvain

Re: some help??

The software you are looking for is one that can
record any audio produced by your computer's sound
card - just like a VCR machine for your TV.

The best program for this IMO is <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/TotalRecorder/" target="_top">Total Recorder</a>

Converting MP3 files

I would like to know if it is possible and how to convert MP3 files to midi file. Or kar (karaoke) files to midi files.

Thanking you

Re: Converting MP3 files

Generally, it isn't possible to convert pre-recorded music to a MIDI file, since it is far to complicated to determine which instruments are playing which notes. Some programs can do the conversion where only a single instrument is involved, but even then they're not very accurate.

Recording to hard drive?

I have windows ME and I am curious, can I take my existing musical cds and store them on my hard drive? Can I make playlists to listen to them on my speakers or a patch thru my stereo amplifier? Thanks John
