New Vocomber audio demo's!

Yes people, ANOTHER demo audio! This shows current power of Vocomber with reworked engine, convolution machine, soft clipping, multiple filters, integrated chorus/flanger implemented and more. A punchy goa/dance track using 3 Vocombers and some drums:

Don't mind my ugly composing skills, listen to that growling Vocomber bass instead :)

This board is for your adverts now is it?

Re: ....

I thought it was for everything audio related, so announcing a new unique plugin is part of that no?

: This board is for your adverts now is it?

Re: ....

I agree. It's the sheer amount of them that's in question...

Re: Help

Any Windows compatible sound card will work with cool edit. As you probably know software has no effect on the record quality of the sound, so I am confused as to why you mention it.
(unless the software is very poorly written and allow jitter errors when recording)

SB Live I have been very happy with. also look at what some music stores offer.

mixing, dj software

HELP!!!

I am completely lost. I am trying to find some software for my best friend for Christmas. He downloaded a sample mixing program from Kazaa and really liked it so I thought that would be a great gift for him. But there are too many out there! I don't know where to start. I'm looking for software that will allow him to use music he's already got on his pc. Something that will let him add effects, drums, scratching, etc.etc.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to good software?

PLEASE!!!

Feel free to email any advice to scorpiorising63@aol.com.

Thanks!

Connie

Recording two inputs with one socket

My computer has one microphone socket. I am under the impression that this is a stereo socket but i don't know for certain. I want to symultaneously record two mono tracks using this one stereo socket. Is this possible?

I have tried it with by using a:

"Two 0.25in Stereo Sockets to One 0.25in Stereo Jack, Adaptor" - quoted from catalog

Plugging two guitar leads into the two sockets, then plugging the plug into my computer (converting to 3.5mm with a 0.25in to 3.5mm adaptor)

So far this hasn't worked. Maybe I should use a:

"Two 0.25in Mono Sockets to One 0.25in Stereo Jack, Adaptor" - quoted from catalog

This being two monos to one stereo. Might work? If anyone knows anything about this, thanks in advance for your help.

Re: Recording two inputs with one socket

The Mic in on most computers is a mono input. either the tip or ring is used for a low voltage phantom power, not an extra channel. If you want to record two tracks at once you will need to use a pre amp and the line in with a "two Mono socket to Stereo plug/jack" adapter.

cubasis vst 4.0

anyone know the cause of this problem? when i am recording with cubasis the click suddenly sounds like a wood block and the counter continues, but no sound is taken in. would it be my soundcard? PC? cheap set up?

Re: cubasis vst 4.0

Hi Chris,

Have a look in the Options menu:Metronome. You may find that you have 'Midi Click' selected and it's talking to your midi drum track. You can deselect this and just opt to have 'audio click' running if you like. Alternatively, play with the other settings on this particular dialogue box as they may solve the problem, such as only having the metronome running on the pre-roll, for example.

Good luck,

David

Sorry to be blunt, but:
Become a "very good" musician first. Then you will understand the "bangin' beats"

Mess around with Reason and Fruity Loops.

Midi Help!!!!

Hi,
I am running Windows 98se, using REASON.
I am trying to install a korg poly 800 keyboard as my midi controller. via a usb midisport 1x1.

I installed the midisport driver, hooked it all up.
I can see that a light on the midisport is droning, like it is working properly. When keyboard is on, I can hit keys and see a response on the midisport.
So far so good...
When I go to "preferences/midi" in REASON I cannot select the midisport. NO MIDI DEVICE DETECTED.
What do I do next????? I'm stumped!!!

Please send specific directions to:
trn4audio@aol.com

Help!! Reason "longer" loop question

I've just got Reason 2.5 and I'm looking for a way of incorporating longer loops (wavs) into my songs and I can't find a way. I'm thinking of like 4-bar loops - which piece of Reason kit does that? Dr Rex doesn't recognise wav files and the NN19 can't get the loop to fit into the timing of the song properly and I can't get it to loop properly, it only plays it once. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

Re: Help!! Reason "longer" loop question

I'm using an earlier version of reason but the answer should be the same........

Firstly Reason is not really suited to large audio files. You have to remember that REX files are sliced and are thus automatically stretched/pitched to fit the current tempo.....

loading a large wave file would not ....
so the timing could be all over the place....
You could slice up the WAV file with recycle and creat a few REX loops which should fit nicely in the tune

BTW, you should get Cubase as it can be linked to Reason via REWIRE.

Cubase5 Microphone sound problem

PLEASE HELP!!!!! im using Cubase 5 and there is no soundwave coming out from the microphone. I can hear myself on the speakers but it seems cubase cannot detect sound coming out from the mic.
im using CM18738/C3DX by C-Media sound card.
Thanks a heep!!!

Re: Cubase5 Microphone sound problem

can you hear a imported .wav file in cubase? Try going to "options"/"audio"/"system". check the upper right hand corner and see if your sound card is listed.uh, what kind of soundcard are you using? let me know and we'll see if we can get it working.

boss br-8 burning cd

i have a br-8 and a computer with a burn drive. what software do need to burn cd's. is there any way that i can durn a cd without haveing a zip drive on the pc. is there anyway i can interface the br-8 directly with the computer if so what software is needed for the computer recognise the br-8.

Re: boss br-8 burning cd

I'm wondering the same thing. Also, I have Windows XP. It looks like the Wav conversion software they have doesn't work with XP. Can you just have stereo outs going into the PC line-in and use the PC's recording capability? Will that maintain the digital quality?: i have a br-8 and a computer with a burn drive. what software do need to burn cd's. is there any way that i can durn a cd without haveing a zip drive on the pc. is there anyway i can interface the br-8 directly with the computer if so what software is needed for the computer recognise the br-8.

You can use "Magic Cleaning Lab" and connect the BR8 to the soundcard....It works for me,pretty well!!!

sequencing

Hi,
First of all I'm the leader of my band. I'm having a hard time looking for a keyboard player. I'm thinking about using a sequence. Is there a machine and recorded songs like for example "Let's grove" by Earth,Wind & fire.that you can take out all the instrument and leave the keyboard or horn section's part on a songs. Please direct me where to buy the necessary parts or equipment and all sequence recorded songs of different artist. We want to play live pretend that there is a keyboard player.
I'm looking forward for your help asap.

Thanks,
Abraham

WRITE AND BURN KARAOKE SONGS CD+G

Use power karaoke to convert mp3 and lyrics into cdg file. (or download some finished files).

Convert mp3/wav +cdg into bin file with power karaoke.

Use cdrwin to create cue file.

Use daemon tools to mound virtual drive CD.

Use clone CD to turn virtual CD into real CD.

This CD will work on any stand alone CD+G player i.e goodmans , the singing machine etc,but as yet I have not found a PC based player that will play these burnt disks.

Microstudio is a great program for customising your songs onto a single disk but will not play the clone burnt disks correctly.

www.karaokeplayground.co.uk is a great help and can tell you how a non (CD+G) compatible burner can still burn karaoke disks that will play. This will tell you how to set up clone to recognise cdg tracks.

I have tried to burn with cdrwin, nero and a few others but my bin files don’t work on a stand alone CD+G player. Howerver, they do play on a PC version. Strange??

removing dialogue from musical score in movies

I read the article on how to get the background music away from vocals using soundforge, and i was wondering if you could do something like that, only instead of music in a song, you would take out the soundtrack leaving the vocals?

Just look in the Answers! section next to where you posted the question.
