SubjectExtreme volume boost with -i flag
hi there, long time ago since I wrote something to this list...anyway.

I use DXCsound, and when I use the -i flag in order to realtime 
read in an audio cd playing in my cdrom drive, it results in an 
extremely boosted volume, I almost blew up my monitors !

I want to know how to correctly read in sound in realtime....


David

Hello everyone,


Just joined the list, brief introduction as follows. My name is 
Dave Koelmeyer, I'm soon to be into my second year of a music 
degree at University of Auckland, New Zealand. I'm 21 and have
been working with computers and hardware based synths for about 
six years now. I currently write electronic music in my small 
MIDI home studio, using a variety of S+S digital synths. Most
of my experience is with Roland Super JV-1080 engine, although
I've recently added a Wavestation to my rig. I've got a few other
general purpose MIDI modules (for percussion etc), as well as 
effects and dynamics processors. I first heard about CSound in a 
feature run by Keyboard magazine, and have been meaning to 
download a copy for ages. I gather it's used extensively at the
University, so I'm going to try to learn the basics over the summer
holidays - even though I'm far from being a maths or physics
whiz. I really enjoy synth programming...I also enjoy sharing what
I know with others. I frequently conduct tutorials in programming
on the 1080 mailing list. 

Unfortunately, I'm having trouble getting it to run - surprise
surprise. I surfed on in to one of the recommended websites on
the Leeds Csound page and downloaded a copy of AXCsound. I tried 
running the program and was told that "AXCsound.dll failed to
register". I surfed on over to the AXCSound page and was told that
I might have to enter a line manually at the command prompt, 
that line being "RegSvr32 AXCsound.dll". Upon doing this I received
the following line, "AXCSound.dll failed GetLastError returns
0x00000485". Could someone please assist me? I'm running a Pentium
-clone 200 Mhz PC, 32MB RAM, with stock standard 16bit SB-clone
soundcard.

Thanks for reading,

Best Regards,

Dave

I'm looking for a most complete table and/or tutorial on
voice formants....what frequencies have to be combined to make
"aaaah" , "ooooh", "eeeeh"  voice-like pads..

Also what method is best to construct those voice sounds ??

starting with pure white noise and feeding it through a parallell
bank of resonant filters ???  Or is a pulse like sound better ??


David

What are the best packages for win95/98 
to recognise spoken text and to let the computer type it in your
word processor, and
what is the best speech synth for win95/98 ??

You can get them in the Csound help and html help files.

FOF synthesis or pulse wave filtered for voiced vowels, filtered noise
for unvoiced.

Resonant filters... band pass , yes, not analog-like lowpass resonant
filters. Use reson for best results, or even biquad if you=B4re a serious
user ;-)
