Re: Voice Killer - analogx?

You are right, it`t quite a bad program. But there`s no miracles on the earth, a wave is not a midi. Try Cool 96 and its "voice cut" preset.

The bottom line is that removing vocals from an audio, taking a stereo wav file and breaking it down to multiple tracks, or convert WAV to MIDI are essentially the same process and have all the same difficulties.

You won't see software good at removing vocals until either some major breakthroughs in our understanding of how the human brain/ear interperets sound or computing power increases 1000 times over.

For more info on the basics read the following tutorials:

cubase audio vst 3.553 sbawe65 wave in problem...

Hi,
Could someone please tell me what i have to do in order to get my sb awe64 wave in to be recognized by Cubase Audio VST v3.553? It keeps telling me that another device could be using it or that i do not have full duplex mode enabled. I do have it enabled and no other devices are using it at this time... thanks ...

Re: cubase audio vst 3.553 sbawe65 wave in problem...

:I am having the exact problem and it is really begining to piss me off,
I'll try that tip that bird posted, but if anybody else knows what's up?

Re: cubase audio vst 3.553 sbawe65 wave in problem...

Hi Lou,
I'm far from an expert & only have Cubasis Audio ver1.6 which came with my AWE64Gold. I did have a similar problem but I think I was able to solve that by trying different settings in a utility called setup MME with came with Cubasis. I made WaveSynth/WG MIDI inactive. If you have that utility maybe try making some settings inactive & narrow down which one causes a problem.

Hope this helps ?

Let me know if you get a chance please.

Thanks.

I need to create a stepped freq sin wave loop

I'm testing a loudspeaker and would like to be able to send a sine wave test signal to it. The test signal needs to start at 0 Hz and step at say 25Hz all the way through to 20kHz, each frequency being produced for about 0.5 sec. If you can help, or know of software able to do this please reply.

Where is Radium you ask? - that's the same question police and investigators around the world are probably asking themselves right now - I bet the big software companies like Steinberg would offer a handsom reward if you could tell them.

Re: Where is Radium?

all students at one university studying music and programming.

What media are you using? I have a new car with Phillips RC600 tuner and cd player and my burnt Imation CD-R's get ejected. Tested a mates burnt Kodak Gold and Verbatim CD-R's and they work perfectly, however, his burnt Imation CD-R's don't work on my Phillips RC600 cd player either so looks like I have found the solution. You should try all media until you find some that work. I thought the car cd player was non-compatible but pleased I checked out other media. Elsewhere on the web Mitsumi Silver is recommended to over-come this problem. Good luck!

Have you got a manual for the player?

Can someone tell me how to set the volume to 10 when u start the car, when i start the car it comes on at 7, but i would prefer it to come on at volume 10

Either it is your media or your car cd player is to old to read

it could be the media you are using, are u using gold bottom media or another color? or your car cdplayer is just to old to read cdrs. i have old cd players that can read copies. later

Software (Compilator) to program and manipulate sound on the ver

Hi,

Is there anybody who knows of a software (or a compilator)
that can be used to write own programs for manipulating sounds.

I find high-level programs like Cakewalk very useful
but they lack tools for manipulating sound on a more
basic level. Cakewalk has something called CAL programming
language but even it is quite limited.

With "basic level" I mean manipulating the pitch,
velocity and timbre of a note or .wav clip more directly
and in all possible ways.

Thank You for Your kind assistance!

Chris

Re: WAV to sheet music

Klaus,

there isn't any program which can do that reliable. For further
information, you will find these two pages of interest:
http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/wwwboard/messages/18579.html
http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/news/9903_101/
and have a look at
http://www.musica.at/forum/wwwboard.html
as there have been quite some similar questions (in german).

qbase screenshots wanted URGENTLY

If anyone can E-Mail me some screenshots from Qbase i
would greatly appreciate it, I need them for a computer
studies project.

Re: qbase screenshots wanted URGENTLY

Daniel,

as some free trial versions of Cubase as well as of PaintShopPro
(or similar) are available, why don't you shoot them yourself?
You will get (1) exactly the shots you need (2) much faster
(3) in your desired resolution, color depth and file format.

Greetings,
Harald

enhanced midi for DOS

Does someone know about some soft for enhancing midi
quality in DOS, For example XG midi drivers for DOS or
something. There are lot of old good dos games with
wonderful midi music, which can be more wonderful with
better drivers.

Re: enhanced midi for DOS

Aivar,

MIDI quality is by no ways determined by the MIDI drivers. MIDI files
only contain information about which note should be played at a specific
time. Drivers only do the communication between the program (the game) and
the hardware (the soundcard). If you want to improve the sound quality,
get a synthesizer which has higher quality. There's no information in a
MIDI file about how the note should sound exactly - just a GM patch,
which is nothing more than a "rough guess".

Greetings,
Harald

I need some help using sequencers to create a tune.

I'm having trouble finding the software I want. I've got Goldwave (which is excellent) so I can grab WAVs and save them. But now I want to make a tune with them. I've tried using a couple of sequencers - NTrack and ASM but they're damn hard to use. It would be an arduous task using Goldwave to create each note then place it using the sequencer.

While I'm at it, I'm also having trouble using the sequencers in general. I can create a simple drum loop but I'll be buggered if I can get the samples to fit into the tempo. It's a hell of a job going back and forth to Goldwave trying to adjust sample lengths and timings. There must be an easier way. Is there anyone out there that can help?????

Re: I need some help using sequencers to create a tune.

I think what you want is "FruityLoopsPro".
It has a very easy-to-use interface.
It costs $100 but it's absolutely worth
to buy it.
For Info click on the link below:

Re: Re: I need some help using sequencers to create a tune.

Ta very much. You're right - Fruityloops rocks. It's the first programme I've downloaded that hasn't driven me completely mad. Do you think there's any point in getting a sequencer now?

Can't start ASIO driver

I'm a complete beginner by the way...I've installed Cubase VST v.3.553 on my PC. When it loads up there are error messages re: the ASIO Multimedia Driver - it says it cannot be started, then says "Couldn't Create Native Audio Engine" then "There is no translator available for this audio information". I've looked at the ASIO set up and tried different settings but to no avail. I have an AWE 64 OEM Sound Blaster Card installed. What can I do - I can't import any Audio files!

REWIRE? What to do...

Hello there...

Question: I have Cubase VST24 and Rebirth 2.0
I first launch Cubase and then Rebirth, I go to the audio-section in Cubase and click on 'Rewire' in the pull-down menu and...

Nothing happens.

only the appearence of a little grey horizontal bar with the name 'Rewire' on it, but that's it, no channels are displayed...

What do I have to do?

Maybe there's something wrong with my Rewire-file in the Cubase-programm. Is it possible to downlad the Rewire software-components and to reinstall them in the Cubase-directory?

Thanks...
