Midi conversion

[Java]

Hello new member, first post.

I am trying to convert midi files to wave. I found a list of instructions on this board that was posted by "Razgoz" in May in 03.

In the last sentence of the instructons is states " The converted .wave file will be located in the original location as the original .midi file". I have all my music stored in my Ddrive and when I convert the song goes to my cdrive. Does it do that automatically for is there a way to put in into my Ddrive?

Once the song is placed there should it not play?

Re: Midi conversion

Well, the output file will be wherever you directed dMC Auxiliary Input to store it.

You click on the big button for Options and select the output folder and the file naming convention.

Re: Midi conversion

Thanks for your reply, I have one more question. After the song/s are loaded to the respective folder, and you open/click on the song is it supposed to be able to play the music?

Thanks!!

Re: Midi conversion

Nother question, just went back and tried a test recording level and it makes a loud noise and goes all the way from the beginning and the end of the volume meter, is there something wrong with my settings?

You better follow the instructions ( http://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthread.php?t=7318 ) on how to adjust volume levels when using dMC Auxiliary Input. The volume slider for your source (which is either What U hear or Stereo Mix, depending on your sound card) should be about 2/3 of the way up or even lower, never full. Use the Test Recording Level first and make sure the UV meter stays in the green with only occasional surges to orange. Don't let it stay in the red zone or it will be heavily distorted.

And remember iTunes can convert Midi files...

Re: Midi conversion

Thanks again for the reply, I checked the stero mix and it is enabled, somewhere during my attempting to convert from midi to wave I heard a grinding noise, I am guessing that I cannot use poweramp unless there is something else I can try.

Thanks

Of course you can, but you must take care to disable other sources of sound like microphone, Outlook Express notification of email or messenger programs audio alerts, as well as any clicking sounds your browser may make, while you are using dMC Auxiliary Input.

Re: Midi conversion

I check the stero imput as suggested but to no avail. Apparently when I was doing something on the dmc it hit my sound card and caused the volum to go as high on the vu sreen as it could go. Now when I try to test it it goes from the start of the slider to the end in the red.

None of my other sound areas are effected, so it must be that this poweramp as done something to the sound card.

I deleted it last nite and reinstalled, still not good.

Greatly dissapointed.

Re: Midi conversion

Did you verify all the Volume controls? both for recording and playbak?

[Java]

Re: Midi conversion

Thanks for your reply.

As far as I can tell I have double checked everything. Perhaps you can direct me to the areas I need to check and change if that's the case.

Could it be that the whole file is corrupted.

It's hard to understand in that all my other sounds work properly.

Re: Midi conversion

I was saying to verify in Volume Controls that all the options are correct and your recording input is correct and volume less than 2/3 of the way up.

Disable external sources of audio like OE chimes, messenger alerts, mouse clicking sounds.

Does your midi file play well? In which program?

What file type are trying to record it to? Best would be 16-bit PCM wav, 44.1KHz, 2-channel stereo. You can convert later to other formats.

Are you by chance using any DSP effects? Remove all of them.

Oh, if you're using that feature from the PowerPack to Output recorded audio (you card must support full duplex) - Don't.

Re: Midi conversion

Good morning, thanks for working with me on this problem.

This is what shows: 44.1 KHz(cdquality) l6 stero:

"Not sure what these are and where I would look to find them:

The music is store in Ddrive and they play fine .

My sound system is Roland Digital

Thanks
