Re: How to make a RAM file to WAV file

: Actually the much-famed Ra2Wave program will do it, but the demo version puts an electronic vioce saying "Ra2Wave Demo" about once a minute. But it proves it can be done!!

: : You can't convert a ram file into a wav file, because the ram (real player file which streams) is a streaming file, which can't be converted. Only a real audio file (which is .ra not .ram) can be converted to a wav file. Real media (.rm) files can be converted into a wav file as well. Somehow you're gonna have to change or convert the .ram file to a .ra file, since they're the same thing anyways, except for the .ram is a streaming version of the .ra file. You'll have to either get the real encoder software, or something in this nature. Hope I helped out!!

The program is called audio hijack pro.
This program works great for recording ram files:

Help ! Recording Waves via Cassettes !

Everytime I record a wave file using Goldwave to my HD,
in stereo it comes out in mono ! I idea's why ?

Can .WAV's be burnt directly to blank CD?

If we burn .wav's to a blank cd, will my car stereo play them? If so, please let me know if I would still need a special program or application to make it possible. Thanks.

Re: Can .WAV's be burnt directly to blank CD?

I use Winamp to change files to wav which can be burnt to CD and played on any CD player

Re: Can .WAV's be burnt directly to blank CD?

: If we burn .wav's to a blank cd, will my car stereo play them? If so, please let me know if I would still need a special program or application to make it possible. Thanks.

YES YES YES !!I use COREL CD CREATOR 32 BIT and any (mono, stereo, whatever quality can be made into a music cd by the click of a button. dont know about other software, though.
i think the software is now part of some other corel program. call corel and ask them for it.

providing they are 44100Hz 16 bit stereo pcm waves
then yes they can

Re: Can .WAV's be burnt directly to blank CD?

Just do a cd to cd copy of the disk using a program called cdrwin-cd writing software. Its a general writing program so its works well with other things. You should be able to play it in any reader; stero, discman's etc etc.

Re: Can .WAV's be burnt directly to blank CD?

Yes, if you will play the cd in the computer.
But, if you want to play in the stereo(home or car)
you will need to convert wave to cda.
How do this?
Using NERO 3070, CDWIZARD PRO, EASYCD CREATOR LUXE,
or PRASSI RIGHT PLUS.
Be careful with a common problem like failing to
close the disc at the end os wrinting.
You can't play an audio CD on a common CD player
until the session has been closed.
Also, don't forget that you have to write all audio
data into the first session of a multisession CD.

OK?

Steps, HW & SW to copy Casettes to my PC

Help I want to copy my casettes to teh Pc in such formart that I can extraxt to create a CD
Any suggestion very welcome

Re: Steps, HW & SW to copy Casettes to my PC

You are a genius, I would have never thought of that. You must be the smarteste person in the world. Try it.

Re: Steps, HW & SW to copy Casettes to my PC

Hello there,

It's quite simple once you know how. I use a cable which goes from the output of my cassette player to the input of the soundcard. I press 'play' on the cassette player and if everything is going fine I will get music coming out of my PC's speakers. After that, it's just a case of pressing record in whatever audio package you use. let me know what happens.

Cheers
Geoff

Cubase to .wav

I'm learning, so excuse what is pêrhaps a suilly question...
Cubase creates .all, .arr files, etc. How do I convert these to .wav for conversion to mp3(which I know how to do)?

Re: Cubase to .wav

: I'm learning, so excuse what is pêrhaps a suilly question...
: Cubase creates .all, .arr files, etc. How do I convert these to .wav for conversion to mp3(which I know how to do)?

Set the left and right marker at the beginning and end of your song in the arrangement window. (do this by left clciking the mouse pointer on the measure bar up the top for left marker, and right click mouse button for right marker.)
Then go to audio/master and click on create file using the master control box.
good luck

Thank you, Felix. I've now tried this, and halfway thru the conversion I get the message "Write Error! The Mixdown File will be deleted". I've tried several times, but no luck... Any ideas as to what's wrong?
Yours, John.

YAMAHA DJX....question for an owner

When i use my newly aquired DJX together with cubase (local control off) , do i select the voice from cubase by changing 'prg' or do i change the voice on the DJX itself? If i make all voice setings on the DJX and turn DJX off and on again, the settings are gone , all sounds arent what i set them to anymore and i have to go thru them one by one and set them again. Kind of time consuming cause for every session i have to tell the DJX what instruments to play for what midi tracks on cubase. Any ideas? Has anyone tried the 'Initial setup send funtion'?

hi felix, i am using a cubasis with djx, i think we have had contact b4. when using them you musy assign each noise to each channel every time you switch the djx on and off. yes it is time consuming but like everything the more you do it the quicker it gets. You havve to use the djx to change voices. Can you record a sustained noise on your set up - i can't. I have had so many problems with my midi set up, i am investing in a hard ware sequencer the rm1x - hope i get on better with that. ....paul

Re: YAMAHA DJX....question for an owner

how do i turn my local off on my djx

Re: YAMAHA DJX....question for an owner

when i am recording on my djx i cannot change the cutoff. how do i do this?

Re: YAMAHA DJX....question for an owner

Next to the RECORD button are track buttons 1 to 6

Track buttons 1 to 4 are for saving your settings, eg :

You can save all your djx settings by :

Press the RECORD button until the display reads :

'PSU User'

then press track button 1
and all your settings are saved to performance bank 1.

When you turn the DJX off and on, your settings have gone, like you said.
But now press 'STYLE' and then press track button '1', and all your settings should now be restored.

HELP PLEASE: Can't record after installing sound card & cd-r.

After installing SB Live Value Sound Card & Yamaha cd-r, I'm having trouble recording music. Though I can record, but there's no sound when I play the files afterwards. When recording the meters just show a flat line, indicating that no sound is heard and recorded.

When recording I can hear the music in my speakers and the mediaplayer works fine too. I've tried using three different recorders, including Windows sound recorder, but it's impossible to record anything.

I've gone through the setup over and over again, but I haven't be able to find any wrong settings.

Can anyone help me????????

Hey Las,

Just convert your MP3 to WAV and then use RealMedia Producer to make the RA file out of the wav. Try the <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/news/9902_105/">tutorial</a> on creating RA files.

"Midi DisAssembler/Assembler"

I downloaded The "Midi DisAssembler/Assembler" (that writes midi files into text files and vice versa). I downloaded a midi file from the internet and converted it to a text file.However, i didn't understand the nature of the output text file since i was expecting it in a "Guitar Tablature" format. Can anyone help me with this?
Also, If you know of any GOOD software that can be downlaoded from the internet that converts Midi files into "Guitar Tablature"(I tried a couple of softwares like comp-g-tab that gave me a poor quality output) please E-mail me an let me know!!
I thank in advance whoever takes the time to try to help me out with this! E-mail:t_badr@hotmail.com

Re: "Midi DisAssembler/Assembler"

Badr,

you should try a music notation program that is capable of displaying
guitar tabulature and importing MIDI files. Look around here at Hitsquad
in the "notation" section to find some of'em.
If your goal is to get guitar tabs, I wouldn't go with a MIDI dissasembler,
as these programs are primarily written to have a look at a MIDI file from the
technical point (which sometimes is VERY interesting as well...).

Greetings,
Harald
