  1. Thanks. The reason I posted here is that google churns out loads of results and what I really need are personal recommendations.

    What I'm really looking for is a dedicated program that is designed for mp3 encoding. I didn't even know i-tunes dealt with wavs.

    Because there are indeed so many free programs that can do this, it would be extremely helpful if someone could name a single program that they have used/currently use and can recommend it.

    Cheers,

    Alex.

  2. Hi,

    Could someone please recommend a program that simply converts a wav file to mp3 (other than "WAV to MP3 Encoder 2.5" as I can't run the program due to an error).

    I'm looking for free programs only. If there is a free program out there that handles variable bit rate that would be sick, but otherwise I'm happy with standard mp3 encoding.

    Cheers,

    Alex.

  3. Thanks your reply.

    Definately not the usb port - all the ports seem to be working fine. I think it's the old usb driver from my previous keyboard that's causing the problem. The icon for my old Yamaha keyboard driver is still in the control panel, eventhough it doesn't show up in the device manager.

    Does this mean that my old Yamaha MIDI-USB Driver is still installed? When I click the icon (in the control panel) a message pops up that says: "Yamaha USB-MIDI Device is not connected", as if it's still looking for the keyboard (meaning the driver is still installed?)

    Cheers, sorry to drag this on. Any further help would be fantastic.

  4. I installed the drivers, but there's a few files in program files (where I installed the drivers). Should they go somewhere else instead, such as the Windows directory?

    I'm not going through a hub, just straight into the laptop.

    Thanks for the suggestions, I'll update the drivers and see if it makes a difference.

    The funny thing is that, as I mentioned, the keyboard works fine on another PC.

    There is this other "MIDI-USB DRIVER" in the control panel, from my old keyboard. However, I'm not sure where to remove this. I've looked in device manager, sounds video and game controllers but couldn't locate it.

    Any further help would be bery much appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Alex.

  5. Hi,

    I recently purchased the M-Audio Oxygen 8 V2 midi keyboard. I plugged it into the family PC, hardware was installed (XP service pack 1) and it worked fine in my sequencer, Cubase VST 5 - all keys and knobs were responding as they should.

    However, when trying to do the same thing on my laptop, XP (service pack 2) seemed to install the hardware fine (got the "your hardware is now ready for use" message). However, upon opening up my sequencer program (Cubase VST 5) the keyboard was not even showing up in the INPUT devices box, let alone sending any midi data!

    I also tried it in Reason 4 and Sibelius 5 with no joy. Any help, no matter how small, would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers,

    Alex.

  6. I feel strongly that some of the voters were far too harsh and unfair towards Chickenwarlord and his entry.

    Before you start flaming people in future, think about this: if you think you can do better, prove it by entering a remix yourself.

    How will there be "growth in the artform" if you don't criticise contructively? I don't know whether it's laziness or pure maliciousness, but either way it's wrong.
