Need help with music tracks

Quote: (bax3 @ Jan. 20 2012, 12:12 PM)

by the way - any version of Ntrack will open song files from previous versions - I know 5 to 6 works without probalms.

true,

as long as they know where they are!
:whistle:

unplug an F: drive and where your wav. files are and then Upgrade to V6, see what happens.....heck you might not even have to unplug it, if there are other drives involved, eg. G: that take on different names depending on their order.

there are other problems *between 16bit and 24bit settings* and your old files/settings as well that can be confusing for a person when Ntrack freezes up or has pop ups as well.

Hey Jeremy...THANK YOU FOR THAT LINK !!!
I really miss that version !!
But I'm going to try what you suggested first before I start deleting everything.
Would have to do a search to find all the files associated with this version, then delete them and start out fresh with a new download.
I'll let you know what happens, okay ??
I sure am happy that we ain't feudin' now !!


Thanks...Linda
:)

I wouldn't suggest deleting any files for Ntacks programming,

that can delete the file but the program will still be installed, uninstall through Windows Manager is the best method.

START>CONTROL PANEL>Add Remove Programs.

Anywho, no feuds here :love: , although I will concede my initial responses tho short and concise things to try may have lacked a certain diplomatic je ne sais quoi to be effective, and for that I apologize.

dontcare :cool:

Ill second Dontcares response - if you start to try to get rid of a program by deleting the program files you wil create a bigger problem than you have now. Use the control panel to delete the NTrack if you feel going back to version 5 is the answer, BUt trying to remove a program by deleting the program is askiing for problems that only a complete reinstall of windows can fix!
I really do not think version 6 is the problem as far as loading the files. The problem is having the program find the files. PLEASE try to find the files first. If you want to go back to version 5 PLEASE use the control panel to uninstall. If you have a problem reinstalling version 5 contact Flavio for instructions - in some cases there can be a probelm going backward on versions.

One of the curious aspects of n-T metronome is that it hasn’t actually got an off/stop button (is there any end to the crazy programming shenanigans;-) The “On” button performs both functions. But - I’m not sure why or if the metronome was “On” - it isn’t on by default. Whilst paying close attention to the points made above by these good fellows, would you be prepared to reinstall V6 (5 min job and nothing lost) and when you are asked if you would like to “keep settings” click “no”. This will turn n-T back to it’s default state.

Go to n-Track’s Settings > Preferences > Paths. Browse for the folder on your ext drive and apply it.

HI TONY…THANKS, BUT THE DEED IS DONE. I DELETED ALL OF V6 AND DOWNLOADED V5 AND THIS IS ONE DANG HAPPY CAMPER HERE !!! I DID GO INTO METRONOME AND THAT WAS THE CULPRIT, JEREMY !! I’VE GOT V5 NOW AND JUST FINISHED A QUICK RECORDING OF A SONG AND EVERYTHING WORKS LIKE A CHAMP !! :) OH, I WISH I COULD PUT IT IN HERE SO YOU CAN HEAR IT !! DANG IT…CAN’T WE DO THAT ?? THANK YOU GUYS SO VERY MUCH FOR HELPING ME !! ALL THINGS ARE WORKING PERFECTLY, AND I’M ABLE TO IMPORT MY FILES, JUST SING A NEW SONG, MIX IT DOWN, SAVE IT, JUST EVERYTHING !!!

HOW CAN I TELL YOU HOW HAPPY I AM RIGHT NOW ???? THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP !!! :love: :) LINDA :agree:

NUTS…DO YOU HAVE TO CREATE AN ACCOUNT JUST TO POST MUSIC IN THE FORUM ? IT WON’T ACCEPT MY USERNAME AND PASSWORD… ??? ???

JEREMY, I DID USE CONTROL PANEL TO DELETE THE PROGRAM, BUT I WENT INTO SEARCH FOR ANY FILES LEFT IN MY COMPUTER. WITH SEVERAL CRASHES UNDER MY BELT, I HAVE HAD TO RE-INSTALL SEVERAL TIMES, PLUS THE NEWER VERSIONS…SEARCH CAME UP WITH A WHOLE PAGE OF STUFF. WOULD YOU BELIEVE OVER 14 nTracksetup.exe FILES ?? GOOD GRIEF !! I FIGURED THAT IF I CLEANED IT ALL OUT, THEN A FRESH DOWNLOAD WOULD BE PUTTING IN IT’S OWN NEW FILES AND NO CONFLICT WOULD OCCUR WITH ANYTHING STILL IN MY COMPUTER. IT WORKED GREAT !! HERE’S A HEART FOR YOU…LOL !! :love: AND A FUNNY FACE… :p !!

THANK YOU…LINDA

KEWL!

glad to see ya got it sorted!

most of us host our songs off site (at other places like Adrive.com) free spaces…

then we just post a link in the music area of this forum.

We’d certainly love to hear what all your perseverance has accomplished! :agree:

thanx for coming back (few do) and telling us how it went, we usually hope for the best but never know… :laugh:

jerm :cool:

WONDERING IF THIS WILL WORK. I JOINED ADRIVE AND HERE IS THE SONG URL…

IT’S CALLED WINGS OF THE PHOENIX…

I LEASED THE MUSIC TRACK FROM A GROUP CALLED “ROYAL AUDIO TUNES”…I SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED THAT.
I CAN’T COPYRIGHT MY SONG AS IT IS, BUT ONE DAY I HOPE TO GET IT PUT TO MY OWN MUSIC SO THAT I CAN.
I SEE THAT IT OPENS INTO A DOWNLOAD.
IF ANYONE LISTENS, HOPE YOU WILL GIVE ME SOME FEEDBACK ON IT ??
THANKS…LINDA
:love:

I rarely do this anymore (being and artist myself people are just far too sensitive about something as personal as music)

but my honest opinion/suggestions would be;

Rating:

Concept: 4
Performance: 5
Arrangement: 3
Mixing: 2
Lyrics: 4
Execution: 3


Granted this scale only goes up to 5.

as You can see I think the concept is pretty strong :) as is the performance.
The arrangement could be improved (a break, bridge etc)
The mixing, well that’s an A-side (can always be outsourced)
Lyrics I felt were pretty strong (although would have to be adapted to accommodate a bridge)
Execution, I felt the key was all wrong for your vocal range, you voice lends itself to Reba Mcentire, soulful with a southern twang, more specifically with harmonies. they will blend alot better if you get the right key. :agree:

if your into collabing online and you haven’t signed up already, I could recommend MusiciansCollaboration
with the right arrangement/instruments/mixing/ you might got something there.

Yes - it is a separate beast from this forum.

I'm listening to your track right now, it's a religious folk protest song with hip hop elements!
:agree:
You ever try it with just an acoustic guitar?
(The lyric made me think of that old Walt Kelly quip: "We have met the enemy and he is us.")


Also, are you familiar with FAWM.org?
We're about to start, on Feb 1st.
You should join.
Tony did!
Jeremy hasn't, however.
Shame on him.

HEy!

I have commitment issues!

and a lot of promises to myself I am obligated to fulfill.

There is an old saying, one cannot be in two places at the same time, something about the space time continuum.....unless you go BACK to the Future!
???

I am not proud of it. :(

HEY ‘JERM’ … LOL !!
WHAT A NICKNAME THAT IS !!
JERM, I WANT TO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR EVALUATION…IT’S THE FIRST ONE I’VE EVER HAD AND FROM THE LOOKS OF IT, NOT TOO BAD, EITHER !!
:agree:
REGARDING THE KEY I WAS SINGING IN, I HAD NO SAY, REALLY, AS IT WAS A PRE-RECORDED TRACK THAT WAS LEASED TO ME.
I WAS ABLE TO GIT MY VOICE THAR AND IT WAS A REALLY HOT TRACK, SO I WAS PLEASED !!
BY THE WAY, I’M TYPING ALL CAPS BECAUSE I CAN SEE IT BETTER, OKAY ?
NOT SHOUTING AT ANYBODY…LOL !!
WHEN IT COMES TO MIXING, THERE WAS THE SAME ISSUE.
NOW, THIS COLLABORATION GROUP YOU MENTIONED SOUNDS VERY INTERESTING.
I HAD A DEAL WITH A GUY TO WORK WITH HIM ON A CHRISTIAN CD HE WANTS TO MAKE, BUT HE WENT AND GOT HISSELF MARRIED AND I HAVEN’T HEARD FROM HIM FOR MONTHS.
SORT OF A LETDOWN, TO SAY THE LEAST.
I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO GET WITH SOME FOLKS AND JAM, MAYBE DO SOME SERIOUS STUFF.
I WILL DEFINITELY BE CHECKING THIS OUT, AND I SURE DO THANK YA FOR THE TIP !!
:)

HEYA TOM !!
:D I CAN’T USE THE QUOTE OPTION RIGHT NOW…FLAVIO IS ‘FLOODING’ ????
DON’T KNOW WHAT THAT IS.


THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR YOUR ADVICE ALSO.
YOU’VE GOT THE DESCRIPTION DOWN TO A “T” !!
:agree:
NOW I HAVE A DEFINITION FOR WHAT I SING…LOL.
I TEND TO GO ALL OVER THE PLACE WITH THE STYLES I SING IN.
I BELONG TO A POETRY GROUP ( I AM A POET, BY THE WAY ) AND A LOT OF CHRISTIAN STUFF THERE, WHICH TENDS TO LEAN ME IN THAT DIRECTION…PLUS I LOVE TO SING PRAISES TO THE LORD.
AFTER ALL…WHO ELSE IS THERE IN CHARGE ??
I DID A VOICEOVER FOR THIS FRIEND I MENTIONED UP ABOVE, IT WAS TO BRIAN BROWNE’S “GOD BLESS THE CHILD” (ABOUT TEN MINUTES OF COOL JAZZ TRIO), AND HE FLIPPED WHEN HE HEARD IT.
SO YOU SEE, I LOVE JAZZ AND BLUES.
GOT ONE THAT I DID TO A TRACK DOWNLOAD FOR TRACY CHAPMAN’S ‘GIVE ME ONE REASON’, AND IT CAME OUT PRETTY COOL…MY OWN VERSION.
I MADE A CD THAT HAD THAT SONG ON IT, AND A FRIEND TOLD ME THAT SOMEONE STOLE HERS BECAUSE OF THAT SONG…LOL…ODD WAY TO GET A COMPLIMENT !!
I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU GUYS TO HEAR THAT ONE, TOO, IF YOU DON’T MIND ?
I’LL GET IT INTO ADRIVE TODAY.

I TEND TO TALK A LOT…HAVE YOU NOTICED ??


AS FOR THE GUITAR…OHHH HOW I WOULD LOVE TO, BUT HAVE NO INSTRUMENTAL CAPABILITY AND NOBODY AROUND ME THAT DOES.
I LIVE IN THE COUNTRY IN KENTUCKY AND IT’S FAIRLY ISOLATED.
LIKE I SAID, THAT GUY I WAS GOING TO DO A CD WITH HAS LOST HIMSELF IN MARRIAGE…HEE HEEE !!
DON’T BLAME HIM, BUT SURE PUT A DAMPER ON MY ENTHUSIASM AND MY FUTURE.
( A FUTURE AT AGE 64…NOT TOO HARD TO IMAGINE WHEN YOU ONLY FEEL 29 !!)
YES, I WOULD LIKE TO CHECK OUT THAT GROUP YOU MENTIONED, AS WELL AS THE ONE ‘JERM’ TOLD ME ABOUT.
I GUESS THE MORE PEOPLE I MEET, THE MORE CHANCE TO GIT SOMETHING DONE WITH MY MUSIC.
I SURE DO THANK YOU GUYS FOR THE HELP AND FOR LISTENING TO MY MUSIC.
BUT YOU DID ASK TO SEE WHAT I HAD DONE WITH nT, as you call it !!


NOW I HAVE ANTICIPATION OF THE FUTURE…THAT IS A GREAT GIFT TO GIVE TO SOMEBODY, YOU GUYS !!
I CAN’T EXPRESS MY APPRECIATION IN THE WORDS…IT’S A FEELING IN THE HEART AND SOUL…GREAT STUFF, INDEED !!

LOVE TO YA…LINNER
:love:
