FAQ |
Install doesn't work ?
if installation program (install.exe) doesn't work, download the distribution
.zip (mixvibes20x.zip),
unzip files in a directory and run mixvibes.exe. Only the file mixvibes.exe
is neccessary to run mixvibes.
if you want later clean the registry, you will execute uninstall.exe.
How can I connect headphones or another audio port ?
MixVibes can manage until 4 directx audio cards. To have an audio port for
connecting headphones, you have to install a new audio card compatible with Directx. If
your PC has USB ports and works with Windows 98 or NT 2000, you can also connect usb
speakers (with the headphones out). USB audio is managed like a directx audio card. You
can have more than 1 USB audio port.
List of audio cards tested myself
Sound blaster 16/32/64 ISA (2 can be installed)
Sound blaster 64 PCI (2 same card don't work see creative labs site)
Sound blaster 128 PCI (2 same card don't work see creative labs site)
Sound blaster SB LIVE PCI (2 same card don't work see creative labs site)
Yamaha chipset
USB audio on windows 98 and NT2000 (2 or more can be installed)
Many others directx cards will work. try to take certified directx driver.
After installing a new card in your system, run MixVibes and go to menu options (general), check that MixVibes have found your card, select the audio card for each audio out and the correct mixer (MixVibes cannot affect automatically the correct mixer because there are different name in directx driver and mixer driver!) and restart MixVibes if you change something.
Can I mix with 1 only audio card ?
Yes, MixVibes can mix unlimited number of audio files. it's just limited by
your PC.
mp3 files (128kbits stereo) use about 8% of cpu usage.
wave files (44100 stereo 16 bits) about 2%.
Tested on Pentium II 350 and Windows 98.
I listen some trigger sound or crackles when playing any file ?
The problem could come from your directx installation. To test your directx
configuration you can download the
Microsoft directx diagnostic utility.
Can I save a mix in wave file or mp3 ?
No yet in this version.
How can I add many audio files in same time ?
For adding many media files in MixVibes database there are 3 ways :
MixVibes database can manage a lot of media (test 3000 items without performance problem).
How can I do Beat calculation ?
For doing a beat counting place the cursor inside the bpm
field in the mixer channel
and tape the key space at the rhythm of the music.
More you tape more accurate will be the beat counting (the program do the average
on 30 last tapes).
MixVibes cannot load
if you see this message "MIXVIBES caused an invalid page fault module
ASMAUDDECFF.DLL or xmp3dec.dll".
The problem comes from these dll not MixVibes (in fact MixVibes is not yet executed).
These dll are not used and not installaed by MixVibes.
Rename these dll (for example *.old) in the directory where you find these 2 dll.
Many MixVibes users have done this manipulation without troubles for others programs in
their PC. A bug is probably in these 2 dll.
