Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi Ed
Thanks for the info. I did some search key words but couldnt find 
any posts related to the specific topic. Perhaps if we end up moving 
our discussion list off of Yahoo, we can put in some more robust 
searching capabilities!

I guess my next course of action will be taking an MP3 and 
converting it to MIDI and removing tracks that way. Ideally, Id like 
to convert it back again to MP3 so that I can play it through an MP3 
player I have hooked into the DTXpress. Unfortunately, my PC is 
located so far away from my drums that looking at a PC-DTXpress 
connection isnt really an option.

I know that Cakewalk is a popular software. Do you happen to know if 
it can import from and export to mp3 format ?

Thanks,
David
