I had been wondering if it was possible to record yourself humming a melody and then have than converted into an instrument. It turns out this is possible with "audio to midi converstion"
The thing is I can't just buy this software because I don't have any recording equipment yet. This would determine if I purchased recording equipment.

I'm buying the Firebox package at Musicians friend. I currently have a soundblaster LIVE sound card. Should I upgrade me sound card also? If so, to what? Or will I be fine with that? My monitors go into my audio interface, so I assume what I will be hearing is what it will sound like. Does the sound card directly affect your recoridng or how it comes out?

Is it at all possible to programme/create an authentic strummed guitar phrase from a bunch of individual note samples?
In other words i am basically trying to create an authentic sounding acoustic rhythm guitar track out of a sample CD i was given.
Any help is greatly appreciated

Cheers
Will

I'm using a roland rd700sx with a roland dp-8 damper pedal connected to a powerbook. recording midi works but when I have the damper pedal half way down the notes are there in logic but aren't audbile. Any tips on getting this working would be great as I have a deadline for a piano part I'm supposed to contribute for a project.

thanks

I have a ekeys37 midi keyboard just to try out until i get a better one, but for some reason in all programs nothing comes up only "Creative Sound Blaster MPU-4" i have no idea what that is but thats the only thing that comes up.

Its supposed to say USB Audio Device but that's never come up I've installed that correctly. I really don't know what to do.

Hi. I'm wondering if somebody can explain to me what the "expression" controller (#11) does, and whether it really does anything different from the volume controller (#7). As far as I can tell, raising or lowering the "expression" value just changes the volume.

thanks

Does anyone know of a filter (comb/notch/HP/LP) whose frequency can be controlled by midi note messages? If so, is it possible for the frequencies to change to match the notes. For example I would press C3 and the filter would jump or slide to 130.813Hz. Despite the narrow spectrum represented by 7 octaves, this would be a great VST.

Hi, I've got an Audigy 2 soundcard and Sonar 4. My computer is 2.1 GHz and I've got 1.5gb of RAM. I've been recently exploring MIDI, and the recording goes well, but when I play back the MIDI, it tends to skip certain notes (even though they appear on the piano roll). If I restart my computer or Sonar, it may or may not play back normally. It's very unstable. Any idea what this could be?

Hello

Interested if anyone is using Midiquest 9
In addition does anyone that uses it with Sonar 4 have problems with it

greetings,

a question for any veteran mach 5 users:
