Hi, The answer to question number three is question number one. Overdub allows you to record over an existing recording. Wave files are uncompressed and they give you the highest audio quality. Once you make your recording, you can mix down to MP3 and the file size will be roughly ten times smaller,...

Hi,

You choke it!

After each open hi hat step, set the next step, then click on the little down arrow below the step. Change the volume setting to zero and checkmark the "choke previous sound" option.

I'll add this to the FAQ.

Hi,

If it were a copy-protected WMA file, you wouldn't be able to load it at all.

Make sure you've got the latest version of Beatcraft, which is 1.02 build 17 (as of this writing):

Hi,

Windows Media Player is very picky about its tag files. To avoid this problem, just enter something in the File Information on the MP3 settings screen when you mix down. We'll fix this problem in a future update.

Hi, VST and DirectX effects are effects that will "plug in" to many different programs. They have standard interfaces so they can be compatible with more than just one program. We have some extra ones that you can use with Beatcraft, Mixcraft and Spin It Again here: http://www.acoustica.co...

Hi, It works well for audio books. You would record the audio, then right-click on the timeline to set track markers for the different sections of the book. Next, click on the File menu and select "Save As a..." and choose an audio format that your CD burning software can use. Choose the o...

Hi,

Yeah, drag your pattern down into the sequencer and repeat it as many times as you want.

Greg

Hi,

First, make sure you've got version 4.12.

If that's no help, please fill out a problem report and send us your cdburner-log.txt file.

Greg

Hi, Nothing at all? Does it say "select new effect to add?" Try installing the software again: http://www.acoustica.com/beatcraft/download.htm Also, if you want to load VST and DirectX effects from other companies, click on the File menu, select Preferences and in the Miscellaneous prefere...

Unfortunately, the polls don't have an option to choose more than one thing at a time, so that's why I said "primarily."

What are you recording with Spin It Again? LPs? Cassettes? 8-track tapes?

Hi,

We've got some for our customers right here.



Greg

Hi,

No, we don't have a notation option in Beatcraft. Maybe someday?
