Are there any good freeware MIDI to WAV converters? I don't want to drop $$ on something that I may just not like the outcome and give up on but I am aware that with freeware you often get what you pay for. any suggestions?

I hav a bunch of drum tracks in MIDI but Adobe Audition won't save them as audio. It says that you can play the MIDI file and record the audio to another track, but the only way I have managed to get that accomplished ends up with low volume and high background noise. Any ideas how to get a...

Please no comments about the gear. :cool: We all do the best with what we got and I don't got a lot. :( Could I run a line out from my Crate DX 212, through a Boss GP 20 Amp Factory and then use the GP 20 as a direct box? I only want to use the GP 20 as a cabinet emulator because all the...

A couple of other things you could do would be to look around in your area for small, independant labels and get to know some of the people there. The smaller labels and their personnel are almost always more approachable and personable than some A&R tool from Arista or Sony who knows you'd...

Hell, Shakespear wrote and entire catalogue of sonnets, plays, epic poems that all rhymed. His work transcended the standard A-B-A-B or A-A-B-B stuff. Try a Petrarchan sonnet form likeA-B-B-A-A-B-B-A followed by C-D-E-C-D-E or C-D-C-C-D-C. Breaking up the flow of the rhyme scheme can breathe...

try a liltle experiment if you're that curious. Record that last note onnthe piano (C9, C10 whatever) and then use the change pitch function of your DAW or jsut speed the bitrate up incrementally till you can't hear it any more. the average frequency range of human hearing goes up to 20kHz...

What type of instrumentation are you working with? When my band was a four piece, I founfd myself playing more complicated bass lines then after we picked up a second guitar, especially during the guitar solos. A complex bass line doesn't have to be a solo in and of itself, however. The trick...

Six months to do a two chord song with a three note melody???? Maybe I'm trying too hard ;)

As a songwriter do you find yourself writing in one style more than another say like writing mostly in images as opposed to a narrative of song that follows a time line or something more experiential like a reminiscence of a period of your past like the last day of school. Also to you tend to...

13" Around? Yeah....I'd say that was about average ;)

1. Crate DX212 (I know, it all i have right now and that's prpbably half my problem) with a Boss GP20 infrot ot it. 2, 3. I'm micing it with a sure SM57 2 inches frim the grille 45 degrees off axis. 4. I'm playing a BC Rich Gunslinger with EMG gold PUs. 5. I'm looking for a good chunky sound...

We really were just looking for an excuse to start drinkingearly that day :rolleyes: That actually made it to tape. I whish I could just find the recording. It was done in '87, so the tape is probably long gone. I guess I could recreate it, but it wouldn't be the same.

I remember once while recording in a friends basement that was near a 50KW AM religious station My distortion pedal kept picking up the AM signal of the radio station. At the end of a seemingly perfect take of a song about group sex, the last note od the guitar died out and through the amp we...

So ideally, how much should I expect to have to roll off the gain? Presently, for this recording, I'm running the gain wide open. Or is this one of those trial-and-error things that I will have to keep recording and re-recording till I get a sound recorded that I like? I did try compressing...

seriously, when I record distorted guitar and play it back it is really sizzly. Is there anything I can do about this? I have tried a low pass filter with limited success but it still sounds like a heavy rain in the backgroundd of the guitar track or like one of those rain sticks that they sell...

I want to get some near field monitors and have noticed a large discrepancy in the stated frequency response. Anywhere from 35hZ-20KhZ to 100hZ-25KhZ. What would be an acceptable range for monitors. I'm just wanting to be able to mix good sounding demos nothing approaching professional but...
