Change Key and record change

[Ernie]

I downloaded Keyrite Demo... I just can't figure it out. My wife and I have our traveling CD's. On the label we have what key we sing each song in, like -2, 0 +1 etc., but not all places can change the octaves. We would like to rerecord our songs with the octive changes in place. You're suppose to be able to do it using Microstudio. Can anyone give me a step by step on how to do this?

Thanks,
Ernie

You will have to import them with Microstudio to your hard drive, then change the key on the imported files with Keyrite, saving them back to hard drive (it is best to save as a different file name like adding the key change to the end of the name before the extension), then burn the modified files to a CD with Microstudio.

Dale,
I can't get it to work. I downloaded the disc into import in Microstudio. I then got out of Microstudio and opened Keyrite Demo, opened songs and then chose a song I wanted to change. I hit -2 for that song and when it started to play it would stop for maybe a quarter of a second and then continue for approximately 6 or 7 seconds and do it again. It kept doing this until it reached about half of the song and then stop completely. No matter which song I try this with it does the same thing. I have XP with all updates, microstudio 4.06, and of course Keyrite Demo. Do you have any other ideas?

Thanks,
Ernie

That is because it is the demo version. It will not give you a complete song.

Dale,
That doesn't make sense!! I always thought the Demo Version was to show you the benifits of how it works, generally with limits on how many times you could use it. So what their saying is... Buy it to try it! The sad thing is I wanted to try it to make sure it works before I buy it.

Thanks Again,
Ernie

Not in this case or any of MTU's programs that I know of. Did you save one with the lowered key? It will play but with gaps in it. That is how you try it to make sure it will work on your computer. Those demos that only work for a short time period can be gotten around if you know where to look to clear the fact that it was ever on your computer and can then re-install it to use the demo again, so that really isn't a good way to allow testing. Most of those Demos get around that by not allowing saving anything.
