FAQ and error resolution
How do
I record my own mixes from Soundman?
Record
your mix professionally is easy with Soundman Recording Wizard or Soundman Recording
Tools. You need
a sound editor, for example Goldwave - www.goldwave.com. There is not a recording software included in Soundman, because to do
it properly you need the real thing (like Goldwave
or Cool Edit). Don’t bother with integrated tin pan editors like some other mixers
have. This
is how you record a mix using the Recording Wizard. 1. Start the
recording wizard and follow step by step instructions. Once you
are done you have a recorded mix in a soundfile, a cuesheet and a tracklisting
that match each other. See “To Burn” section below for how to burn your
mixes. This
is how you record a mix using a sound editor using the tools you find under
“Recoding Tools” menu in Soundman. 1. Start
recording in a sound editor. * The
output from Soundman will be recorded to a file. 2. Start
cue sheet * In Soundman
click Recording Tools -> Write Start Mix Timer and Cue Sheet (You will
hear a voice counting "Three, two, one, beep!" This will be used
later to sync cue sheet with recording). 3. Play
and mix... * … until
you are done. 4. Trim
sound file * Go back
to the sound editor and stop the recording * Cut out
the beginning of the sound file (the "Beep!" and everything before
it) and save it. After the
above 4 steps you have a recorded mix in a soundfile,
a cuesheet and a tracklisting
that match each other. Chose Recording Tools -> Open Cue Sheet and Track
Listing if you want to look at them. To burn: You can
now open the soundfile in your CD burner, import
the cue sheet and burn. It will give you a CD with tracks splitted,
and the CD burner will also create track listing from the cue sheet too. To split into tracks: If your
CD burner can not handle cue sheets or you want to distribute your mix as
separate MP3 files you will want to split the file into separate tunes. This can be done by any sound editor that
handles cue sheets. In Goldwave for example, chose
Cue -> import cue sheet -> split file. I can’t
install, it says some files are corrupt. Why?
This
sometimes happens to users who got a slow link. Contact us and we’ll send you
the install software by e-mail. It’s 5 mb so make sure your mailbox can handle that. Does
Soundman spy?
No. Just
about all freeware you download these days, including MP3 mixers, picks up
personal information from your system and sends it on to databases. It can be
the sites you visit, the soundfiles you have, the
software you got installed etc. SOUNDMAN does not do this! Is
Soundman really free?
Sure. No
strings attached, no adds, no spying. What
system files may be replaced?
Se below How do
I use headphones?
Full instruction
on how to use headphones is in the usage guide, available once you have
installed. How did
you guys get this thing together? What program language is it?
Soundman is built in Visual Basic. It relies on three
things, Windows Media Player 9, some common system files (OCX:s) and the Visual Basic runtime environment. General error resolution
The most
common problem is that Windows Media Player is not installed or that it is a
version earlier then 9. Install WMP9 before doing further
error resolution. Unlike
many other software producers we have been very restrictive about replacing
system files in the install procedure. This means it's safer to install
SOUNDMAN then most other softwares, but it also
means some necessary system files may be missing after the install is
completed. The following steps will resolve problems related to this and most
other problems that may occur: 1. If you
answered "no" to questions if to replace files during installation,
rerun the installation and this time answer "yes". 2. Download this system update from
Microsoft and
double click on it. It will update the Visual Basic runtime environment 3.
Reinstall Windows Media Player from Microsoft site. This is a good idea
regardless, MS is intensively developing the WMP
and it's a very good media player.If the WMP install hangs you need to manually delete the ocx "msdxm.ocx", and
then rerun the WMP installation. (The WMP installation will replace the msdxm.ocx
with a new one). 4. Run
the Soundman install again. These
steps should resolve most problems. If it doesn't, contact us. Just remeber to tell us what OS and HW you are running. EXACTLY
WHAT FILES You may
be wondering exactly what happens when you install, and again, unlike other
software producers I will tell you: 1. If you
answer "no" to questions during the installation no system files
will be replaced. 2. The
following files will be replaced if you already have them and you answer
"yes" during the install procedure and the file in question is
outdated: COMDLG32.OCX MSCOMCTL.OCX MSWINSCK.OCX Msinet.ocx GraficButton.ocx vbalNCSM6.dll SSubTmr6.dll 3. If you
download and install the Microsoft VB update he following files will be
replaced: stdole2.tlb msvbvm60.dll oleaut32.dll olepro32.dll asycfilt.dll comcat.dll 4. If you
reinstall WMP a lot of files will probably be
replaced, but MS won't tell us which. However, as with the VB runtime update,
this is safe to do, thousands of users do it daily. Other
