In case anyone was wondering how to mix your voice in with music, here's what you can do.
1) Find the MIDI file (.mid) of your favorite tune (google search it and you'll probably find the popular ones)
2) Get recording software. I use
Audiograbber . It is now free. Go to
File =>
Line-in Sampling.
3) Click the Mixer button in Audiograbber. The Windows recording control should come up. Check the 'wav mixer', 'what you hear' or whatever the option is that sounds like it will record any sound the soundcard makes (so you can record the MIDI audio and your voice in the microphone at the same time)
You may need to also unmute the microphone and adjust the audio volume for the MIDI using the windows volume control (not the recording one I just mentioned). To do this, simply click on the little speaker icon by the time display on your Windows taskbar in the lower right. If the speaker icon is missing from there, you will need to go into the windows control panel and click on 'sounds and audio devices' (or the like, depending on what version of windows you are using) and check the box to enable that speaker icon in the taskbar. When the volume control is up, unmute the microphone, set the volume slider of how loud you want it to record your voice and also move the slider for the MIDI or 'wav synth'.
You're almost ready to record.
4) Now back to Audiograbber under the Manual recording tab, check 'do not split tracks', so any amount of silence will not cut your recording in pieces. Now type in a name for your track starting with #1, #2, etc.
5) Finally press the record button. Open your MIDI file you downloaded to play it in windows media player or any other MIDI software you want to use. Now start singing. Audiograbber will record both your MIDI audio and your voice in a wav file. I believe by default they are saved to c:\audiograbber in that folder.
Now that I have posted on how to do it.. PLEASE SING!!!
:lol:
I'll keep trying so poor DisneyJedi isn't the only one to post songs!
