    2. Dj MetaZero - Inuyasha "My Will" [Anime Remix #47]

    ^_^

  2. These programs, Fast Tracker 2 and Mod Plug Tracker, can they export the notes as a file readable by sequencers? Like, export into VST or anything?
    (...) then save the instrument as .xi, you can import it with Fruity Loops
    mainly, with a tracker, you can import N samples (the more you have, the better will be the instrument) and give them a pitch, a volume envelope, a lot of other cool things. then you save the instrument as .xi (the native instrument format for FT2, also supported by MPT). Fruity Loops can import .xi samples, do you want to try? here is a lead I use often in my remixes: Right Click, Save As. Of course I'm not sending you a registered/copyrighted sample, it's just a shitty 8-bit one, just to let you see how it works. for what I know, you can import it in fruity loops. I'm not sure because I don't use FL, but it should work.

    for any info about importing/tuning/etc. the samples in FT2/MPT feel free to PM me. :)

  3. Use a tracker.

    you just need to create a plain .wav file with a note of a certain frequency (or more than one wav file, maybe one per octave and so on, to get more quality), and import it with the tracker instrument editor (Fast Tracker 2 and Mod Plug Tracker, for sure, have it).

    Play around a bit with the pitch to get the exact tuning on your samples, and then save the instrument as .xi, you can import it with Fruity Loops (if you use Fruity Loops; since I use a tracker, the first step will be enough for me :) )

  4. I did this with a track, and it's not 100% - but you can get close. It's very important that you have both versions on CD (uncompressed) as opposed to mp3, because mp3 ruins the sound.

    If the track has a short silence before it starts, just putting one inverted wave on top of the other is not going to work either - the recording might've been off just enough to ruin things.

    The wave editor I use (Sound Forge) allows you to "snap" to a point on the waveform. If you zoom in to the highest level you'll see a series of dots.

    The trick is to find a sudden recognizable peak in the songs and use that point as a kind of guide.

    Also, if both tracks are on 16 bit and both tracks are mastered - convert them to 24 bit first. You'll have more headroom and less chances clipping that way. Then, after putting 'm on top of eachother like zircon described, dither back to 16 bit again.

    yeah, I know about the mp3 compression. I was talking about two tracks I have on a uncompressed audio cd.

    and yes, I'm not new on audio editings with full zoom factor, I just need to try this new thing.

    thanks anyway for your additional hints :wink:

  5. Hah, I remember using that program when it was new. Too bad I can't find it anywhere.
    yeah, it's about 10 years old. I don't know if it's abandonware, but if it is, and you don't mind to use the italian version, I can send it to you.

    just make sure to check that it's abandonware. I don't know where to check.

  6. I mean... you all know that you can mix two sounds together, but is it possible to do the opposite? for example, if I have a song with vocals and the instrumental version of the same song, would it be possible to do something like [song w/vocals] - [song w/o vocals] = [vocals]? I think it should be possible, according to physic laws, I just need to find a software able to do this.

    what should I use? I tried to write a code by myself that takes the bytes in the raw PCM data and works on them but (of course) it didn't work.

  7. first of all, I'm not asking "when is this going to be released?", because I don't like to break guidelines.

    I just want to ask, shouldn't the thread title be updated? it's been "Project Chaos - .deadline Jan 31st.**Major Announcement!!**" since a pretty long while, and that deadline is over by two weeks now...

    no more news that deserve the spotlight in the thread title?

  8. if you wish to try trackers, don't forget to give Fast Tracker 2 a try. it's really simpler to use than ModPlugTracker, imo. on the other side, it's definitely less powerful.

    oh, and the head post is wrong about MPT, btw. it does support a midi keyboard, while it's pretty hard to use it properly. I'm not a great fan of MPT. my personal advice is to write music in FT2 and then import it in MPT for the final editings and to add some effects like reverb and/or other plugins (yeah, MPT is very customizable).

    k. trackers for the win.

    (oh, feel free to PM me if you use a tracker too and you're interested in some kind of collaborations or cultural exchanges)
