Dear Anyone. This applies to EVERY TRACK I've ever written, apart from one, and I dunno what the difference was with that one track! I'm using just MIDI, VSTs, entering every note with the mouse into QSE Level 2 because I can't play anything as I'm disabled. OK. So I write the track, mix it...

Dear Anyone. I'll keep this brief, but you can ask for any additional details you want. I've got a legal copy of Sonar X1 Producer, and a notation program, Quick Score Elite Level 2. I have to use the notation program because I'm disabled and can't play a keyboard phisically. OK. Quick...

Dear Anyone. OK. I've got my mixing/midi package (can be anything so I'm not using names!) I've put my MIDI file into it. I've got my Wonderful Multitimbral Synth (if I have to use names because the technique's different on different synths just say, I'm just seeing if there's an overall...

Dear Anyone. Now I'm not a geek/gearhead, just a wannabe composer, so please keep the tech. talk baby-level! I'm working on the cheap, got a whole pile of lovely SF2s. BUT - I can't find an SF2 player that lets you control Volume AND Velocity via MIDI Controllers. Some of 'em have velocity...

Dear Everyone. OK. Here's what I've got, it's all legally bought, the only thing cracked around here is me. Quick Score Elite Level 2 Notation (main music input system - MIDI'n'Mouse, me!) Sampletank Free Player, Proteus VX, Edirol Orchestral, Kontakt, Reason 5, Ableton Live 8. And various...

Dear Anyone. I'm using Ozone 4 on a PC with Cubase 5. I've only just bought it, wanted to try it out. So I imported a soundfile into Cubase. Put Ozone 4 on the track as a plug-in. Chose a preset at random, just to see what it sounded like, pressed PLAY and got more pops'n'crackles than an...

Dear Anyone. When you've quite finished horse-laughing (I tried this thread on another forum and got flamed out of existence!) - I can't unARK ARKED soundfonts! I download the ARKed soundfont. Double-click on it. SFunARK kicks in and opens a little DOS window which says THIS SOUNDFONT HAS...

Dear Anyone who understands Quick Score Elite OR SIMILAR NOTATION SOFTWARE!. I'm hoping someone's had experience of notation software of some kind - I can't play keyboard because I'm disabled, have to use a mouse for everything. This might apply to other notation software too.... I use...

Dear Anyone I want to put backings to my stuff. I've got Miroslav Orchestra, but there's something I'd virtually give bodyparts to know. Where DO people get these WONDERFUL drones from?? Now here's two examples - not the lead instruments, just the wonderful backing drones -...

Dear Anyone. Every so often I turn up here with a totally dumbasserino question, and you guys are always very patient with me and give me great answers that sort me out. Here's the latest one! I'm a wannabe New Age music writer. As anyone who's been in a shopping mall knows, that means you...

Dear Anyone. Got M-Audio 2496 and a comp. with plenty of spec. to run everything. I'm using a notation package, QSE Elite, to write my music on, and a load of plugins. Thing is, I can't make ASIO work with the soundcard. If I select the ASIO setting from SETUP in my notation package, I get...

Dear Anyone. I'm the bloke, if anyone cares, who started a thread about 'how to play more than one sound at once in Absynth'. And was rightfully told that Absynth was monotimbral and you couldn't do it. But you CAN if you've got Sampletank. Or anything similar! You see, the sounds in Absynth...

Dear Anyone. There isn't a Native Instruments section here (why?) so I'm posting my question here because I am a newbie! Right. I've got Absynth 4. And a 16-voice sequencer. It's a notation package, one stave one sound, I put in all the notes with the mouse, prefer working that way. OK...

Dear Anyone. When, especially in slow Country and Western tracks, they keep the rhythm by tapping the edge of the snaredrum with the stick so you get a click sound, what's that sound called? And do you know where there's a wave file of it? Y'see, I thought that sound was called a Rimshot...

Dear Dragon/any mods (or anyone!) Just downloaded a WONDERFUl pdf. It's called 'The Art of Mxing and Mastering' by David Gibson, there's over 300 pages of it and it explains things in lucid clarity all the way through (well, I've got as far as p.34 so far and it's STILL wonderful!) Now it...

Dear Anyone. There isn't a softsynth section on this site (Why?) so I'm posting this here, feel free to repost if necessary. I bought a 2nd hand computer with Sampletank already on it, because it was cheaper and easier than buying the software separately along with the updates my aging...

Dear Anyone. I've got an AMD Sempron processor, 1GIG RAM, an ASUS ASROCK motherboard and Windows XP Pro SP2. And an M-Audio Audiophile 2496 Soundcard, complete with latest driver. Now I've just become the proud LEGAL owner of Cubase Studio 4, complete with dongle and manuals etc., but I'm...

Dear Anyone. My comp's an AMD Sempron with WinXP Pro SP2, 1`gig RAM, an ASUS ASROCK motherboard, REASON 4 and Voyetra Music Maestro Notation Package (non-Rewire compatible, but read on, read on!) I'm disabled, can't physically play a keyboard too well, so I have to use a notation package...

Dear Anyone. I have a Soundblaster Live 5.1 Soundcard, with Vienna Wave Studio, which lets you nick a bit of any ripped CD track and save it as an 'instrument' - by which I think it means a very short loop (I'm an absolute beginner in all this and I'm drowning in technology/technospeak, so...
