Hey everyone, I'm new here and to the recording issue. I'm using CEP 1.2, and it really bugs me that it doesn't contain a built in metronome. so what I thought I would do is to create a metronome track in MIDI and then import it into the session. Problem is that when I try to import MIDI files it brings up a dialog box who says "Raw Data (no header)" and when I press OK it imports a short Track of loud and high-pithced noise. can anyone help me?

cool doesnt have a lot of midi functionality. its mainly an audio program.
if your open minded . i'll be willing to make suggestions on what i use which does both audio and midi.
BUT ONLY IF YOUR OPEN MINDED !
 
I don't care hearing any suggestions, but there are only 2 problems:
-Freeware only - no cracks or anything illegal please
-I'm in the middle of a HUGE project in Cool Edit and there's absolutely no way i'm changing programs before the end of this project.

Another possibility is if there's a free program which converts MIDI files into WAV files or anything like that. I've tried to fined one but I haven't found out anything.
 
no. i'm a computer engr, and i highly respect my fellow engrs who create programs and computer hardware technology and their need to earn a living.
all my software is properly paid for and registered.
when you get the time look at this. it will address some of the missing functionality in cool which i consider a fine audio pgm. the two together , you will have a powerhouse recording solution.
it has a slew of midi functionality. its not free. but very cheap.

Well, Cool Edit can play back a midi file, but you won't hear it unless you've got an hardware MIDI module hooked up to an interface.


But luckily, COOL EDIT has a metronome built right in, with adjustable time signatures and click sounds!

Just hit Options--> metronome, and adjust away. I've got the metronome window docked right by my VU meters, and I've found it very handy. Check out the help file for your options.
 
My version of Cool Edit is 1.2 and it doesn't include a built in deature of a metronme.
and Manning, thanks, but I don't have any cash right now. do you know of anything which is absolutely free?

Oh, I see. My mistake. Do you have a hardware metronome? You could mic it up, or mine has a headphone jack, you could take a line out.

Im sure there are electronic metronomes for under $20 availible.


Good Luck

Thanks man, i've already found 2 programs for that, which you can find right here
Thanks anyway!
