Re: Midi Files?

2005-01-21 Thread Jerry Richer
 Ibby!  I convert MIDI to WAV by playing the MIDI file and recording the
output with Sound Forge.  MIDI and WAV are totally unrelated file types.
Please find following two posts I wrote to this list in the past.

 there are programs to convert MP3 and WAV files to MIDI but as I
understand it they are very inaccurate.  MIDI is nothing like MP3 or WAV.
The formats are totally alien to each other.  MP3 and WAV files are audio
files but MIDI files are series of instructions telling a sound module of
some sort what instrument to play, what notes to play, for how long, how
loud etc.  Converting an MP3 or WAV file to MIDI would be analogous to
unbaking a cake and putting all the ingredients back into their storage
bins.  You'd even have to uncook the eggs and put them back into their
shells.

 Sequencing is the process of recording, editing and playing back music
instructions (Musical Instrument Digital Interface, MIDI) that tell a MIDI
instrument what to play.  MIDI instructions include such information as what
note to play, how hard to play it, how long to play it, when to play it etc.
In music production it's like the difference between having a cake and
baking a cake.  When you play music live you have a cake.  When you play
music through MIDI you are creating a cake in real time from the recipe.
You can always change the recipe and bake another cake but when the cake is
done you can't undo it and change it.
 MIDI information can be entered through a computer keyboard, voice
commands, through a MIDI musical instrument in real or step time or through
a scanner scanning a musical score.
 Through sequencing one can construct an entire musical score by
themselves.  Many use sequencing as a method of providing virtual musicians
in a band.  Many people now perform in clubs and restaurants with a
sequencer as their only other band member.  They might play a guitar and
sing but what you hear is guitar, voice, bass, piano, horns etc.
 To learn everything you'd ever want to know about sequencing, join the
MIDI-MAG list where blind musicians discuss the accessibility of music and
audio production equipment and software.  To join send an email to

Re: Audio Weather

2005-01-21 Thread Kristine Hickerson
Hi all,

I guess I missed something because I did not find the WeatherAloud program 
at JFWLite.  I did find the helpful hint as to how it worked.  But I also 
found the website and am going to purchase the program.

Thanks much.

Kris H.

DVD Playing

2005-01-21 Thread Andrea Sherry
When I play a DVD movie I notice that the volume is somewhat down. Is this 
normal? I have had a poke round through the configuration menu and there 
doesn't appear to be a way to increase the volume either in Nero Showtime or 
PowerDVD.
Cheers

You're quite right! the point I'm making is that you shouldn't need to
convert from MP3 to ATRAC, the player should handle MP3 instantly and
without problme, the only thing you can do with MP3 files on this unit is
to store them on the in-built hard drive, you can't play them unless you
convert to ATRAC first therefore, you do lose quality when converting from
one format to the other.  As I said previously, this is just such a waste
of time compared to other devices such as IPOD and IRIVER which just let
you transfer MP3 files etc ready to be played at the press of a button.

Now another point that springs to mind.  I have a Sony Minidisc machine
here which came with the Sonic Stich software.  I found this to be rather
inaccessible as it used BMP graphic images to display menus etc so I'm
wondering just how bad the Sonic Stich software supplied with the player
under discussion is.  I'm lucky! I use LINUX to do all the tasks I want
from my Minidisc player and (I suspect) that much the same sort of LINUX
software is available for this player too! but if you're using Windows XP
etc then I suggest you don't have much hope in doing the MP3/ATRAC
conversion the player requires anyhow, anyone else got thoughts on this?

  Greetings!
 
  I'm sure we all remember the Sony walkmans cassette player? Well you
would
have
  thought that Sony's dominance in this feeld would have continued into
the
  computer age, apparently not.
 
  I've just read about Sony's new product which they claim will rival the
Apple
  Ipod, if Sony truly believe that the IPOD is threatened by the new Sony
wonder
  then I suggest they think again.
 
  It is accepted as STANDARD PRACTISE these days that the consumer
should
be
  able to download MP3 files and transfer them to a portable device (as
MP3
  files) but Sony's new walkman player doesn't follow this simple
principle,
you
  need to use the supplied software to take the MP3's from your computer,
  transfer them to the walkman unit and then have them converted to Sony's
ATRAC
  compression system.  Yes, you can transfer MP3 files to the walkman
units
hard
  drive leave them there but that won't do you any good as they cannot be
played
  in native MP3 mode, what an absolute waste of time.
 
  Conversion takes 3 minutes per file so speed is a big problem here, with
the
  Apple IPOD, its just a matter of using the ITUNES software supplied to
transfer
  the MP3 files from your PC or download them from the net, that's the end
of the
  process and they're ready to be played instantly.
 
  Another problem with the new Sony Hard Drive walkman is power, the only
way
  this beast can be powered is from its power cradle which plugs into the
AC
  mains outlet, the IPOD can be powered in a variety of ways including
from
a
  computers USB port but none (to my knowledge) have car adaptors
available.
