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...

Blue Cat Frequency Analyzer. Dear Everyone. Just because a few showoff engineers can pinpoint the exact wavelength where two sounds overlap doesn't mean the rest of us can. I can tell if it's the 'low end' or the 'high end' that wants EQing, but as for which exact frequency i n KHz, forget it...

Grimtraveller, could you help me get started? Dear Grimtraveller. I'm addressing this mainly to you because you've got Sampletank and Miroslav too. I've read the manual, all 96 pages of it. I basically understand the basics, by which I mean I understand pitch-shifting, time-stretching...

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 -...

TDK tape mechs always c""p! Dear Sir. TDK TAPE itself is great, wonderful sound quality, I think. Thing is, the mechanism on their actual cassettes is always dodgy. It tries to tighten up as soon as it can. I've discovered that if you fast-forward the tape to the end, then rewind it, BEFORE...

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 Tigerfly. I'd post this in the main forum except the staff here get snotty about where the downloads originated.... http://www.4shared.com/file/229266204/cea4d138/Mixing_and_Mastering.html 2 tips you could give me that the book doesn't make clear Bass. When I EQ it, the lights go high...

Yep - all newest drivers. Dear Futuredays. I've got all the latest drivers for my M-Audio. There IS an M-Audio version of ASIO, but whenever I chose it I got no noise out of it so I thought I'd try ASIO4ALL. It works, inasmuch as, like I said in my original posts, I get sound coming out...

Well, Kjaerhuis seems to think it is... .... and I'm too ignorant to know any different! Still trying to get to grips with all the tech, Seafroggys. Just trying to post the stuff I've actually tried out and found works. Yours respectfully Chrisulrich.

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...

Proteus VX - LOADSA free top qual. sounds And more. Dear Everyone. Sorry, these are for PC users, or MAC users with BOOTCAMP (or similar.) Proteus VX - hundreds of legit. GOOD QUALITY sounds. Cool Edit Pro - yep, it's still out there - the mixer software Adobe don't want you to know about...

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...

Thanks, Gecko! Dear Gecko. Thanks! That sounds a great way of doing things. Honestly, though, you'd've thought a company like N.I. would be including multi-timbrality (can you say that!?!) as standard in its instruments considering (a) it's possible because everyone else is doing it and (b)...

Dear Tlennon (and whoever else reads this!) The polite word for what I felt when I read your answer to my question is 'Damn!' Why on earth would a company release a box of wonderful sounds and then make it so you can only use them one at a time? Right. Lateral thinking time here - hope you...

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...

Thanks Chili - and I made a find that might be worth a sticky. Dear Chili. Thanks for the heads-up on what that sound was called - sidestick - never heard that word before! So I did a Google for it and came across a WONDERFUL looking site I'd also never heard of before! It's...

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...

Hope this helps as far as I can. Dear Ken. The M-Audiophile just slots into a PCI slot, that's one of the white slots on the motherboard, sorry if you knew that already. Again, just to make sure you realise this, NEVER PUT IT IN WHEN THE COMPUTER IS SWITCHED ON, MAKE SURE THE MACHINE IS OFF...

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...
