Violinerrrz Posted November 20, 2002 Report Share Posted November 20, 2002 King Kong by Zappa, and a Charlie Parker tune played by Kabal? very cool, Im very impressed by that! HKV's Devil's Trill was great, sounded alot better than the stuff he posted long ago that I heard! I still practice out of the Hrimaly book, it is so cool to have midi files to practice with! Very cool web thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melimv Posted November 21, 2002 Report Share Posted November 21, 2002 I don't understand how it is that I'm supposed to post stuff up. I'd love to post up some music but I don't think i have the technology to do so. How do I record myself into a mp3, mpeg thing? I think i can do wav files but they usually last about 30 seconds.

linuxviolin Posted November 21, 2002 Report Share Posted November 21, 2002 Here's what you need: mic, sound card, and a good sound editing program. I use Goldwave, because it's cheap ($40) and easy to use. It has tons of features, but you don't have to use them. For MP3 support, it has a link to LAME, so make sure to download that too. http://www.goldwave.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldgeezer Posted November 21, 2002 Report Share Posted November 21, 2002 You don’t really need much. I’ve recorded using a cheap computer microphone intended for voice into the mic input on built in motherboard sound. Windows has a sound recorder in accessories where you can record up to 1 minute. It isn’t very good but it works and you get a wav file. Then you have to convert the wav file to an mp3 file to post it here. There is a free mp3 converter at http://www.dbpoweramp.com/dmc.htm Radio Shack has a headset computer mic like mine for $10 on sale. Start by looking for some kind of better recording software than the one in Windows. Recording software doesn’t have to be expensive. I use Sound Forge. After that it’s a question of good microphones and pre-amps. You can go from a $10 microphone plugged into the back of the computer in the mic input up to professional microphones with a pre-amp into the the line inputs or directly into a sound card with built in pre-amps.

RocknRoll Posted November 21, 2002 Report Share Posted November 21, 2002 Did you know, you can also download a FREE mp3 converter, visit http://www.fasoft.com/ ! And try not to use those one-minute recorders, the quality is bad, try using Creative recorder, You can record as long as you want but still mantain the quality.

djerzy Posted November 21, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2002 Here is THE answer for those of you who don't want to spend money, or get too complicated. Get MusicMatch Jukebox It is simple to use, and produces fine results for what we are doing over at the COTA website. Best of all: it is FREE! I LIKE free! And this program is extreemly FREE. So NO EXCUSES! You can send files as mp3, wav, wma, or whatever. I will take care of the conversion for you. It doesn't matter how big the file is - my e-mail can handle it. For the sake of those who will be downloading and listening to your piece, try to keep the recordings under 4 minutes if possible. Please be sure to read the submission guidelines, and follow them closely. If you leave something out, it may delay the posting of your recording. If you need further help, you can send me a private e-mail at jp@artsconservatory.com Regards, Jerry (Director, Conservatory of the Arts) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
