converting mpc 3000 sounds to mpc 2000 format

I have a friend of mine that has zip disk full of nice drum kits for his mpc 3000, and I was wondering if there is a way that I can convert these sounds to mpc 2000 format without having to sample every single sound.

CD+G FILES

Hello, I would like to know where I can download free cd+g files.

frooty loops version 4

Could anyone tell me if the 4th version of frooty loops permits the wav file to play in tandem with the patterns ??? Or is there a preference to autofit the wav file alongide the patterns ??? Since severally it has been noticed that the wav file plays correctly in the first pattern, whereas it layers in the second layer and subsequent layers. Is the checking of ascending patterns (in the pattern window) the only remedy to control this flaw ???

making song louder

I burned a song on to my computer that is very low and I want to makeit louder before I burn it to disk.I don't have access to it again and it is very rare.I have it burned to a disk now but it is so much lower than the rest of the songs.

Three things to try..

There are three things to try.

1. Normalise it.. (this is a function usually found in Audio Editors that will raise the highest peak in a song to just below digital clipping).

2. Limit the signal with a limiter. (this usually has adverse affects on the dynamics of the song and should be done by someone with experience on how to use a limiter and has a good ear. This is often done during modern mastering processing although very minimally when done correctly. Many new songs that we may buy are heavily limited to increase the overall 'loudness' of the song. Loudness isn't the same as volume by the way.

3. Change the gain of the song using a song editor. (This can be experimented with although if you don't know what you are doing, you should be better off Normalising)

Re: Three things to try..

This song was burned from a record ,how can I burn it from the record so that it plays louder.Iam using musicmatch and yeah I now about normalizing but it didn't help.thanks for the input....later

Oh. Another thing...

I haven't used this but it might be cool..

http://www.octiv.com/index.asp?content=iTunes

iTunes is of course free..

Rimmer

Oh. Another thing... FORGOT TO MENTION...!

Check out the MP3 audio demos and look for Re-Mastering..

Rimmer

Re: Three things to try..

It doesn't really matter where it came from. Record, CD, microphone. If you recorded the record at a good level then the 'Loudness' of the song/album is all about how your ears hear it.

It's too common today to 'over' louden records as it seems that A&R people are more skilled in mastering than skilled mastering engineers that know better about how things should sound. There is therefore a 'Loudness' (not volume) war going on in the commercial music industry.

The proper way to 'louden' your record is to send it to a mastering house and ask them to louden it. Otherwise Limit it hard as I already suggested. Ruins the sound but saves on reaching for the volume control...

You are going to need an audio editor/recorder, as well as CD Burning software (check that you have a burner!).

Just start trying to record your voice before trying to burn a recording.

Finding a song -- Help!

I've been searching for a song I heard a few times over the radio -- back in 1977 or '78. This was when country, pop and rock were often mixed together, so I'm not sure what category this song is under. The song was by a man and the lyrics went "she's the girl of my dreams, an unsettled scene, I'm always one step behind". I'm not sure if all these words are correct, but that's all I can remember about this song. Does anyone know the name of this song and who recorded it? Thanks.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i really don't get this please email back and tell me how to burn a CD!!! i really need to know

Re: HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's easy. This place is a 'discussion forum'. People post messages here, sometimes asking for help and then people can reply to the posts as I am doing to yours.

If you have a question then, include some details as people posting "How do I burn a CD" with no information on what equipment, type of CD they wish to burn will usually bring sigh's and no replies.

It's a bit like shouting.. "How do I bake a cake"?

Music CDs

I purchase music off of the internet and burn my own
CDs. I had been using Roxio. My harddrive died and i
lost my Roxio. Can you tell me if Windows Media Player 10, works as well as roxio and does it convert
MP3s to WAV for listening on any CD player.

Thanks Big D.

Looking for a program to combine (over lap) 4 audio tracks

I'm looking for a program that can combine 4 audio tracks together and manipulate the volume levels. Specifically, I want to record people singing (individually) and then combine the voices so I can raise the volume on individual parts. The purpose is to record 4 parts singing and be able to raise the volume on a particular part to teach individual parts to others.

So all I need is a program to overlay 4 audio tracks and adjust the volume of each.

Pro-Tools Free

Anyone out there who knows a way around the "slight little" problem with this lovely software not running on a XP based computer? Installed it by running setup as "compatible with" under proberties. However, I can't start the bloody thing, as it is a bit sensitive with its dae-engine. Please advice, or send donations for me to buy the LE!

Virtual memory

I downloaded Anvil studio and after two tracks it say's I need more Virtual memory, what is a good setting? I have windows XP and may have screwed up my settings. Anyone?

Re: Virtual memory

Since this is a complicated subject, you should probably read the article Virtual Memory in Windows XP at http://aumha.org/win5/a/xpvm.php

The part most relevant to your question would seem to be:

"How big a file will turn out to be needed depends very much on your work-load. Simple word processing and e-mail may need very little - large graphics and movie making may need a great deal. For a general workload, with only small dumps provided for, it is suggested that a sensible start point for the initial size would be the greater of (a) 100 MB or (b) enough to bring RAM plus file to about 500 MB. EXAMPLE: Set the Initial page file size to 400 MB on a computer with 128 MB RAM; 250 on a 256 MB computer; or 100 MB for larger sizes.

But have a high Maximum size - 700 or 800 MB or even more if there is plenty of disk space. Having this high will do no harm. Then if you find the actual pagefile.sys gets larger (as seen in Explorer), adjust the initial size up accordingly."

There's much more info in the article, of course.

Compling Karaoke Disks

I am able to use Nero (v6) to backup CD-G disks. But I can't use it if I want to compile tracks (as when you compile normal audio tracks) The problem seems to be that there appears no menu for setting the reader for 'Karoke' disks which is available when diskcopy is used. When you try and complile tracks the 'Burn Compilation' menu is greyed out. Any ideas?

Compling Karaoke Disks

There is a typo on the page that says Nero 5, but the page is for Nero 6. Update your software, and look here:
