> I need a little more help understanding DirectMusic. > I have created in the DirectMusic producer a segment file and a DLS file. > However, I don't know how to use the tracks in the segment to play the instrument I created in the DLS file. We have all been there. When I first looked at DirectMusic producer, I had no clue how to make a sound with it. Words like Segment, Style, etc. meant nothing to me. I think your best way forward is to look at the demo material supplied with it, and read the online help (press F1) which is pretty good. -- Bjorn Lynne - Composer, Producer, Sound Designer Main music site: www.lynnemusic.com
