some of the samples I have been getting of the net work great with this little gadget but for some reason alot of the samples I use make a realy annoying clicking noise. Is there anything I can do to fix these samples so I can use them. If not is there a site or something that has good synth or bass samples that can be used with hammerhead. thanx Chris

cooledit will let you convert wav to raw (PCM).
Open file in Cooledit (eg-"holy moly")
Go to "save as"-click.
See the little window at the bottom of the drop down menu?
"File Type"?
Scroll down to PCM Raw.
Select that.
Click Save.
Bingo bango you got yourself a raw file type thing.
My question is- I've done all that and Hammerhead still wont play the damn thing. I can hear it in Makebank. But that's it.
Any help.
Cheers.

Close Makebank before opening Hammerhead. Just a thought.

This may sound really, really dumb...but...Here goes...
Did you load your saved bank back into Hammerhead from within Hammerhead? I,know, I, know, but when working quickly between programs and after HOURS of editing your brain can just go AAAAAAH!, (I have made a bank, saved it, closed Make bank , into Hammerhead, where's me bank?, back into Makebank, load it, close Makebank, back to Hammerhead,where is it?...oh, yeh, load the bank from within Hammerhead from the menu opion at the top right screen.) I've done this a few times.
If this is'nt your problem, then over to anyone else.

I,ve just read your CW prob, this could be the cause of everything. Time for a back up and clear out.

Regarding your first posting (makebank, Hammerhead, yadda, yadda...)
Yeah did all that, too. Same problem. Then loaded directly from Hammerhead. Still no go.

If CW is the problem Then why does Rebirth work fine.
And if CW is the problem, how to fix it other than getting a zip drive (and dealing with the nightmare of organizing, then reloading those weasly little floppies), or upgrading memory?

That, by the way, is probably a stupid question.

First of all, is the Audio Disk space percentage the total amount you have left on your HD, or the amount allocated by Cakewalk? If so, then there may be some setting where you can up the capacity. I take it you are using CakeWalk to sequence samples only? If you had ( or borrowed )a midi instrument to connect to your PC, at least you could check if CW was driving external devices.
Does'nt Rebirth use alogrithms to manipulate the synth on your soundcard in real time and samples for the drums? Do the drums work in Rebirth for you? If not, then it could be this space problem and would explain Rebirth appearing to be the only one to work.

Floppies are just about out of the question for back-up, unless you're mad.
There are lots of formats for backing up, some cheaper than others. I would get along to your local PC store and see what they have. By the way I only suggested back-up
if you had data that needed archiving. If you have stuff on your HD that you really don't need or want any more, then chuck it. At least you would free up space allowing you to test things a bit better.

You can never have enough RAM, allthough in this case, it may not be you problem.
Saying that, I have tried using Hammerhead with a 486 66Mhz, with 16Mb RAM, and it splutters all over the place, even in 486 mode. Rebirth does'nt open at all.

Thanks. I will look into all of those options.
And the floppy-thing sounded a bit stupid to me, too.
