RUN-DMC's Jam Master Jay Murdered in recording studio

I don't know the details, but this is terrible.
RunDMC are not the type of musicians who associate with criminals.
In fact, they went through a spiritual rebirth in the late nineties.
They have never been gangster rappers, and do not promote violence in their lyrics or public personas.

For Jam Master Jay to have been murdered is not only an act against Jay himself, but against his family, his associates, and his legacy which is felt by Rap/Hip hop/DJ's/Remixers/Sound Engineers/Producers and fans.

Some might consider it an actual attack upon hip-hop culture.
KRS One has been warning us of these things. Why won't you listen?
Moby may sample RunDMC as have millions of others. A great creator has been lost, but don't let him be forgotten. Take the time to listen to a RunDMC album, and surely you'll hear the roots of much contemporary music. Then you'll know that a forefather in the music scene was taken away from us unfairly.

I cant believe this why does all the bad things happen to the talented and creative?
Its not on, maybe god saves them from more hurt n more disasters in the future so he takes them sooner rather than later!!! Thats the only way i can justify it. You guys r the best Jam Master J lives on in all of us.
Peace x

Looking for program

I am looking for a web site that will let me download a program called mplayer2.exe. A friend has sent me a file type called 'streaming audio/video file' and I can't view it. Can you help? Tim

Re: Looking for program

: Thanks Dave for the info on the mplayer2.

Re: Looking for program

That's Windows Media Player. Go here and update your system with this and other things.

sound blaster 16

how to install Win 9x from CD.
I have a Sound blaster 16 ( CD-drive is connected to it ) and windows installation program can't detect this CD-drive :-(
Thanks for any hint !

Re: sound blaster 16

Usually, a cdrom drive is "Plug-and-Play", so your computer can detect it.
You must go in your bios to change your startup sequence.
Change it to "SCSI,A,C"
You can check if your bios is also configured for your cdrom drive.

You need drivers...

Have a look at the chipset on the card, record the numbers, and do a net search for the driver package for the chipset.

Once installed, windows should find the IDE connection for your drive.

mac to pc

please can you help me?!
I have some cubase song files in mac format on cd,how can I convert them into pc format.
Thanks!!

Big Mac to Politically Correct

I think you should try to email Steinberg and ask them, since they created Cubase.
It's probably an issue they had to consider while making Cubase.

There are programs made to convert mac format to pc, but
they are typically described as being for TEXT files. However, on a mac, most PC files are naturally saved as PC text files. For any mac users who doubt me, set the mac type/creator codes of a file to "TEXT"/"dosa", and you will notice that it turns into a PC-iconned file.

In general, PC TEXT files have <CR><LF> (carriage return followed by a linefeed), whereas mac files typically only have the <CR>.
UNIX files have <LF> only. I think it goes something like that.
However, there are probably more deviations between formats for ASCII characters above 128, and especially above 255.
I suspect that first, you should try to run Cubase on your PC and use Cubase to search for and open the files on the CD. If they open, then save a new copy on your hard drive. If it doesn't work, there might be too many differences between formats for a simple exchange. The mac format holds MORE information than the PC format, so if conversion is not possible, a copy would stand to LOSE data on the PC.

improvement for Hitsquad.com/smm

Hi,
I think it wold be great if the downloads on this site had a few stats attached to them.
I.e. Number of downloads, User Rating etc...

Re: improvement for Hitsquad.com/smm

: Hi,

: Anand

We have just completed a major upgrade of all our
servers which was neccessary before we could implemtent
your suggestion.

Stats for downloads will come but it won't be immediate
because we have to perform some other upgrades first.

When it rains, it pours.

Good ideas. I think that it would also be kinder if system requirements were mandatory for uploads.
Too many items never say what's needed to run them. This is a waste of time for everyone if the wrong users download certain files, especially large ones.

It would also be fantastic if the number of clicks to get to the files could be reduced.
There are lots and lots of shareware/freeware sites, but most of them don't require so many clicks and pauses to get to the actual file.
Also, the links are too long. They should just be direct links to the sources.
In other words, instead of a big long HTML script line, it should just be a direct http or ftp link to the file, such as
http://hitsquad.com/downloads/pc/cubasis.zip or
http://steinberg.com/downloads/cubasis.zip these links are
ficticious, but you get the idea. Also, it would make it easier if all files were in .ZIP format. This is already a universal format, and it has been improved continually. Even on a mac, .ZIP files are smaller than .SIT files.

In the <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/membersonly/?smm-msg">Members Only Paid Subscriber</a> version of
this site you get all that and more. On the free public

This is outside of our control - the software authors

they want used for their downloads.

Re: Coverting RMJ

you didn't type anything

Re: Coverting RMJ

You'd have to use an audio capture program like Total Recorder to do this. I don't think there is a converter because Real don't want people converting their format.

Sound Designer II

If you are on a Mac, it will be easy to convert Sound Designer II files to Wave. Download freeware SoundHack, it can open and save both formats.
If you are on a PC, SoundForge is good with many formats. In general, if you can at least save the file as an AIFF (.AIF), then you will be ok. AIFF is the primary mac format. Most mac programs that read SD2 also read AIFF.
Most mac conversion programs also read AIFF.

adding a .ram file to my home page

Hello,

I've been trying all day to add a .ram file to my home page. I have it downloaded in my directory, but I have no idea how to get it on my home page.

I don't know what kind of script I'm suppose to type in to get it to work on the page.

I'd like it to start as soon as someone opens the page, but I can't figure it out and I've been trying all D! day.

Can you PLEASE help me?

Make it easier, not harder

I think you just add link to your homepage just like it's a JPEG picture:
http://blahblahblah.domain.whatever/yourdirectory/thefile.ram
The recipient's browser is supposed to decide how to deal with the file.
I feel that I should point out, however, that real audio is not nearly as popular or sucessful as Mp3. You are probably limiting access to your song by putting it in .RAM format. I think you should just put it up as an mp3.

Also, some people like to download the whole song without listening to it while it downloads.
I don't think .RAM files are always good for that. The same goes for .m3u files. It's better to give your recipients more choices.

Also, ftp:// is sometimes faster than http:// for downloadable links.
Some ftp downloaders let the user resume the download later if there is an error or interruption.
