    latency question

    APSLive drivers for SB Live Creative don't supply ASIO drivers for the SB Live. someone on the board recommended "APS live" drivers, which are apparently non-official (non-creative) drivers that turn the SB Live into a full ASIO card. He gave me a link and i got the drivers, but I haven't used...

    USb midi keyboards

    aah does this mean you need the USB port on the soundcard NOT just anywhere in your pc? In which case, the USB is useless to me anyways

    USb midi keyboards

    I'm thinking of getting a midi keyboard controller for use with Cubase on a Pc and noticed that some have USB ports as well as midi ports. What does this mean? Is the output from this basically the same as a midi out but maybe faster/slower/different in some other way? Since i have a USB port...

    latency question

    some of these may be a bit obvious but i'm just starting I'm running cubase 5 on win 98ME, 1.3Ghz AMD TBird, 512Mb Ram with a SB Live card Running the direct X full duplex driver I get a 46ms latency which is pretty good (I think) but sometimes it can be noticeable when using the automated...

    Battery drum machine problem

    yeah it's centred on everything! It's weird. There isn't some kind of global VST instrument setting thing that I'm missing is there? I've never had any trouble with any other VST instruments tho. FUME!!

    step-sequencer for cakewalk

    Is there some kind of step-sequencer sample player plug-in avaliable for cakewalk? I'm looking for some kind of Fruity loops type thing so I can use it within cakewalk's multitrack environment.

    Battery drum machine problem

    been trying out native-instrument's Battery in cubase 3.7, and I'm having a problem. If I load up a sample, generally a drum hit, the sound is shifted noticeably right in stereo space. The pan control in Battery is centerede, obviously the sample is mono, and the pan in cubase monitor for the...

    ANyone heard any rumours about a possible release date for Fruity loops 3.5, they don'#t say on their site.

    fruity loops sample formats?

    wicked, that saves me a lot of trouble. Just out of interest, when using drum samples, what's the copyright situation? For live drum hit samples etc, somebody somewhere must have sat in a studio and recorded them all. Does someone then own the copyrights on them if they're used commercially, or...

    fruity loops sample formats?

    A lot of fruity loops sample formats are *.ds. Is this a FL only format, or is there some converter that will allow me to convert them into wav format directly? Cheers

    Time for the overhaul...

    woah?! excuse my lack of expertise, but I presume the VIA thing is a motherboard chipset that runs with AMD CPUs. Does this have some kind of problem with Delta cards? Cos I got a 1.3GHZ AMD TBird running on (i think) a VIA motherboard with a SB Live planning on upgrading or adding a Delta card...

    fruity loops type prog?

    I'm waiting in desperation for fruity loops 3.5 to be released with it's ability to be used as a VST instrument in cubase etc. Does anyone know of any other step sequencer like progs that are similar to FL that also work in Cubase as a VST that are avaiable now? Cheers

    guitar as sitar?

    Anyone know if it's possible to tune/play a guitar to sound like a sitar? I don't mean full on Ravi Shankar type stuff but little bits, like the sitar sounds that crop up on Beck's Mellow Gold. Occasionally I've tried tuning my acoustic down so the strings are pretty slack, then sort of slap...

    moog plugin

    can anyone recommend a VST plugin that simulates a Moog to a decent quality? It appears as if the Steinberg E-Magic will but it's £100, and I can't stretch to that! While I'm on the subject, is there such a thing as a theremin plugin (or even theremin synth?). I have no idea how they'd make the...

    fruity loops and long samples

    New Cubase? isn't that about £800 or something? jeeez :-) Yeah, I don't think it would work in fruityloops (which isn't $800!), thanks for the answers anyway, I might try and get myself a cheapy multitracker or summat. Jim

    fruity loops and long samples

    Is there any way of using song-long samples in fruity loops easily. What I mean is, if I want to record a guitar track that lasts throughout the song without being looped, is this possible in fruity loops? Obviously I can record the track elsewhere, import the entire thing into fruity loops and...

    Just a Reminder !

    Tex said: And change your damn guitar strings (could someone please tell me how to do quotes properly, I don't get it!). Anyway, I don't know if he was serious :-), but I don't like changing my strings often, it ruins the point of having accidental weird sounds coming out. In fact I don't even...

    changing sample pitches

    Hi, I've got a question about changing the pitches of samples (ie wav files) when using progs such as fruityloops. I've noticed that the way that fruity loops, and the Vienna soundfont thingy I downloaded for free, change the pitch of samples is to reduce or increase the speed (and hence length)...
