    Hey, Do what? Crack Refills? NO!!!!!!!! I haven't made myself clear, I'll lay it out for you: 1. They DON'T WANT you to crack open Refills, because as soon as you do you'll start emailing sounds to your friends, which is probably illegal. They want your friends to BUY their Refill...

    Cool saxophone

    Hey, No, just the pictures. I assume that it will sound like a normal saxophone as it is made of the same material, just the fingerings are different. Nick

    Hey, Your alarm clock, cell phone, answering machine, etc. can open a PCM file, PCM is just digital audio in its most primitive form. The trick (and I'm sure that Goldwave can't do this) is to 'crack' open the Refill so that you can get to the PCM data! Nick

    Anyone Use a Minidisc Player???

    Hey, I don't think it does what you think it does. Look at step 3 on this page: http://www.xitel.com/product_mdpio_02.htm It reads: "The MD-Port I/O’s fully customized input and output have been designed to work flawlessly with all portable MiniDisc recorders. It’s optical output...

    American History X

    Hey, While racism is pretty lame, I LOVE stereotypes: there is nothing funnier than seeing a black guy making fun of a white guy, Eddie Murphy was a genius at this. Some white stereotypes: 1. We're all rich. 2. We all play golf. 3. We all own boats. but... 1. We all sleep with...

    Self Containment

    Deuce, I seriously doubt it, unless you or someone else can write a program to decrypt the Refills and convert the PCM data into wav files. This is illegal, I would imagine. I understand now, it's like making a bun file in Cakewalk, where the sequence and audio files used in the song get...

    Self Containment

    Hey, I don't know the answer for fact as I don't use Reason, but I have an idea: 1. Refills are like ROMs on synths; a lot of time and money are spent developing them, companies want to protect their investments from people who want to extract and distribute them to others...like you! : )...

    full, orchestral string sound....

    Hey, If you read electronic magazines, they often talk about this subject as a full blown orchestra is a pretty cool thing to have in your music/soundtrack, and there is an art to replicating it using synths and samplers. From what I remember of the articles, there are a few things to do...

    Maiden! Maiden!

    Hey, We just got back from seeing Motorhead, Dio and Iron Maiden, it was fucking AWESOME! It's great to see bands still kicking ass after almost 25 years, I just hope that hip hop shows are as intense. Nick

    Hooking Up Digi 002 Rack With Synths via MIDI

    Hey, What you are doing is known as 'daisy chaining'. This can be complicated...you are basically starting the chain at the MPC and thru'ing all the way to the XV5050, where it gets sent back to the MPC. Look at the top diagram to imagine it. My understanding is that Thru ports DO NOT...

    Ghetto tech music

    Hey, I don't know! From what I've read about it on the net, it's sort of a mix of techno, jungle and hip hop music, totally sped up to 140-150 bpm, and dudes rap about butt-love and big tits over it. Very popular in Florida and Detroit. Like 2 Live Crew on speed.... Nick

    The taboo topic!!

    Hey, Journey : The first tape I ever bought back in '83, it's what got me interested in music and synthesizers. Metallica : Their first three albums were so frigging awesome...fast, tough and full of beans. Joy Division/New Order : These guys were doing amazing things with synths and...

    Save your brain....

    Hey, Quote: "...you're stuck removing all the controller information at the beginning..." Quote: "...CakeWalk it will ask you if you would like to keep the controller info or dump it..." How am I wrong? You have the benefit of having a powerful sequencer (Cakewalk) which allows you to...

    Zee Germanz arrrrraagghhh komink!

    Hey, Yeah. You want to see a poorly run forum? Go to http://forum.cubase.net/cgi-bin/cubase.net/Ultimate.cgi and see what happens when no one moderates the forum. There is a good source of information about all versions of Cubase up to SX/SL, but you really have to dig for it. Nick

    I want to record using my computer but is it possible to use a TUBE mic preamp?

    Hey, The multichannel cards are necessary if you need to record multiple streams of audio simultaneously, like if you were recording a drumset with 4 or more mics (just as an example). As for the 24/96 debate, it is one that can go on and on forever. In theory we cannot hear anything above...
