You could also try to search out MIDI's of the songs you want on the net. Problem there is, you need a better MIDI setup to mix them down even halfway well, and it seems they're getting chased off the net for copyright violations.

- - - It's fairly pointless to say that in general terms one particular Windows OS is more stable than any other. You can find any number of people that had good results with one that others had unacceptable results, and both groups think their opinion is correct because "they was there." It...

It's not just you, and I know of at least one other bbs that uses the same software, that is having the same problem. Don't take it personally!

-Go to their support site(s) and ask if there's one IRQ that it works best on. ~

The success or failure of assigning IRQ's may depend on if you have a good (name-brand + retail) motherboard or not. I've seen/owned PC's that worked 100% with the OEM hardware, but that wouldn't run anything new in the PCI slots right. I can't even change videocards in a ~5yr-old Acer Aspire...

-If you can't get it to go any other way, then the SBLive should have a recording setting called "what you hear". Just record on it, play the soundfont track alone, and then re-import the resulting .wav. ~

I feel more and more that it's fairly pointless to openly ask what problems any given product has- it's much more useful to simply assume that every product has some problems, and then go to the support forums and newsgroups catering to that product and (lurk and) see for yourself what kinds of...

--I have sequencing/mixing software that supports soundfonts (Cakewalk Home Studio 2002, Sonar does too, others may I don't know...). You "attach" a soundfont to a MIDI bank #, and then access the bank#/instrument# just the same as with a regular MIDI bank. I don't know what you do otherwise-...

There's lots of drums. There are lots of percussion soundfonts to download, of both acoustic and synth drums. Different drums sound different, even different brands that appear physically nearly identical. There's some variability based on what equipment was used and how it was used in the...

The $32 SBLive 5.1: mwave.com: ---sku # A14730 ---price=$32.00 (it's the last card listed on the Creative soundcards page) ~ newegg.com: ---model# SB0100VP ---price=$32.00 (it's the only $32.00 creative card listed) ~ compuvest.com ---compuvest part# SC-SB3209 ---price=$33 (the only $33.00...

The practical problem with removing IE from your internet-surfing PC is that it's the only one that displays everything correctly 100% of the time. I commonly run across pages that don't display properly in "the other" browsers (Opera, Netscape, Mozilla and a couple others I can't recall right...

Firstly, -With fruityloops I don't know. I don't know the quality of the source samples, and I don't know if you can separate the different sounds the same way that you easily can with a multitrack sequencer.... -With any normal MIDI sequencing program, yes--you separate each different sound...

-I'm curious, does your Value have five jacks on the back, or four? What I read on a UK site said that it should be lacking the digital-out, and only have four 3.5mm jacks. ... -I never could find anyone who had a complete list of all the different versions of Creative cards floating around out...

My guesses: 1. -A SBLive can do pretty good, run right. Recording in the same room is definitely part of the problem. Get longer cables so that you can place the computer in one room, and record in another. ..... 2. -Another test to try to find where the noise is coming from is to set up the...

I dunno nuts about Cubase, I got Cakewalk Home Studio.... ~ -What I do is use the automation to drop the track level 20 or 30 dB down when the loud breathing occurs, and then bring it back up right as the next word starts. ....
