Message-ID: <20020208195041.A60024@welearn.com.au> Mail-Followup-To: Sue Blake , freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I have some tunes as midi files that I want to edit. Each note has to have its length altered slightly, and some notes need to start soft and get louder, others start loud and get soft, or have a loudness bulge in the middle then fade off to inaudible. Like a fancy singer might do. If I can do this sort of thing with midi (or another sound file format), can anyone suggest what software to look at? If I can't, please tell me that, too :-) I don't need to be able to record or play back, and can handle music notation or any other representation, the more raw the better actually. FWIW, I know a lot about music and unix, very little about midi and sound on computers generally (but I'm a wiz on PC speaker tunes), and I can learn anything myself from docs if given a starting direction. I just don't know what I'm looking for. -- Regards, -*Sue*- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
