Wave -> spectrum editing software????? Help me!

Hi!

I need help to find a program which allows me making calculations with the (complex or maybe only with the amplitude) spectrums made from wave files.
I'd like to calculate the quotient of two (complex) spectrums made from various lenght (48 kHz sample frequency 16 bit) wave files.
Which shareware program makes possibile further calculations with spectrums of wave files?

thanks, G.

My favorite is <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/Cool_Edit_Win32/">Cool Edit 96</a> because it's very easy to use and does most jobs pretty well.

Help!

Hi there,
Can anyone advise me a software to edit&re-record music?
What I want is to cut some music off from my Audio CD and record 'em into wav file, so I can play 'em everytime I start my computer.
eg. I want cut a part of song from 4m45s to 5m50s, then make it a wav file.

I have looked number of software, none of 'em can take only a part of a audio file (they convert whole track to wav).

Please help!

Dowloand <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/Cool_Edit_Win32/">Cool Edit 96</a> and this will record little bits of a CD to .wav files and you can use it to edit the files as well.

Software crashes my computer each time I install it

Each time i install the program it works well for the first month. After that it crashes my computer. I have changed 4 hard disks due to this. What can be the problem. Please help me because I really do like the software.
Thanks

Re: Midisoft Recording Session on windows 95

I dunno; my colleagues and I thought this was a fairly simple program, if not a bit outdated. This program does not allow printing, and is not able to be linked with a musical keyboard. You may load and save midi files, and write your own (although this takes a while, since it must be done with a mouse) Other than that, you must be more specific with your questions.
Good Luck!

Filtering Software

Is there any software available that allows you to filter out the music in a sample wav, leaving only the voices?

Re: Filtering Software

: Is there any software available that allows you to filter out the music in a sample wav, leaving only the voices?

No - that is there's nothing really reliable but there are ways to extract Vocals if they are perfectly centered in stereo and everything else isn't:

Try these steps - I'm just thinking off the top of my head so there's no guarantee this will work even if you have a suitable stereo .wav file:-
<ol>
<li>Download a good wave editor like <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/Cool_Edit_Win32/">Cool Edit</a>
<li>Open your Stereo .wav file and save it as a Mono file
<li>Open another copy of your Stereo file and reverse the phase of ONLY 1 side of stereo - this means shift the phase by 180 degrees
<li>Save your new Stereo file as a Mono file - if this step has worked you should here the music without the vocals when you listen to this new mono file (except for maybe some vocal reverb)
<li>Then open both of your Mono files and create a new stereo file which has each mono file on separate sides of stereo
<li>Then have a listen and see if you get anything useful
</ol>

PS - post back and let us know how it works out

Question for Mike

: <li>Open another copy of your Stereo file and reverse the phase of ONLY 1 side of stereo - this means shift the phase by 180 degrees

==> What do you mean???
How to do this??
Another question: is it possible to do a vocal version from any song??

Thanks..

System overload!

I am testing the demo version of Logic Platinum. Using an iMac with 96Mb 233Mz. The demo song has about 8-10 audio tracks and sometimes I get an error code saying disc too slow/ system overload. I know people say to use a seperate fast hard disc for audio, is this why? Can't the G3 processor on the iMac cope or something, I thought the G3 was supposed to be the dogs whatsits?
any thoughts would be appreciated.

thanks

Re: System overload!

Hello !
It's very amazing, i've got the same trouble "DAE error, disk too slow" and "system overload" with an Audiowerk 8 and an Audiomedia III. I own a G3/233, 128 Mb Ram and a very rapid disk with an Adaptec SCSI card.
I'm leavuing in France and the hot line in Paris can't help me...
So, if you have a good solution, don't forsake me!

Anyone used Sibelius?

I'm considering Sibelius as a notation program. Has anyone who's used it found any problems? Anyone know how it compares with Finale/Coda et al?

Conversion of MIDI

MIDI to WAVE to CD-DA ????

Re: Conversion of MIDI

: MIDI to WAVE to CD-DA ????
Bob,
I use SoundOLE (which is on my AWE64 card). there are limitations, but it works. I then have a buddy write it to CD. Atleast gives me some accompaniment while playing along.

Dan

Re: Conversion of MIDI

I use soundforge.. it won't open midi files, but you can play them with winamp, while recording with soudforge. Then you can save the recorded file as a wav, and thus, burn to a cd... :)
