WHATSUP.DOC
-----------
If you want to stay current with what's happening in the world of
multimedia, windows, and the CDPC, subscribe to CompuServe. Once online
type GO MEDIAVISION. This will take you to the Media Vision section of the
Multimedia Vendor forum. Each day, Monday thru Friday, a Media Vision
representative will stop by to answer your questions. We also hope to
establish a presence on Internet, BIX, America Online and Prodigy. Look
for our representatives on those services.
Here is a description of some of the files on this disk:
MIX.EXE This program allows you to modify those mixing controls
that you'll want to change most often.
Its main difference from promix is that it doesn't
cover nearly as much screen area.
This program can be added to your \windows directory.
PROMIX.EXE ProMix can be launced from the WIN.INI 'load' line.
If you have Windows 3.1, use the Program Manager's
File/Preferences menu item to select the open
minimized option.
This program can be added to your \windows directory.
Here's a nifty feature: When running Windows, you can
use the CTRL-ALT-U, CTRL-ALT-D, and CTRL-ALT-M sequences
to adjust the master volume.
The system menu contains a new feature: a pair of
DB meters. The DB meters are active only during record
and playback of waveform data.
MMMIXER.DLL This DLL must be in your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.
MMMIXER.DLL is like MMSYSTEM.DLL in a couple of ways.
First, it provides a driver-independent layer for all
mixer API's. Second, it loads any mixer device drivers
in the system.
If you build an application that makes use of our
mixer API's, this DLL handles the call. If there are
no mixer device drivers in the system, the mixer
API's will simply return an error.
MVMIXER.DRV This file belongs in your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.
This is Media Vision's Mixer driver for the CDPC
In the [drivers] section of your system.ini file,
you must have the line:
mixer=mvmixer.drv
MCIMIXER.DRV Put this file in your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.
This driver provides a set of extended MCI commands
for accessing mixer capabiities.
Under the [mci] section of your system.ini file, you
must have the line:
mixer=mcimixer.drv
Developers may ship this driver, license free, with
their products.
See the MIXSPEC directory for detailed information on the
Multimedia Mixer MCI command set (MCIMIXER.DOC).
MVPROAUD.DRV This file belongs in your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.
This driver supports WAVE (digital sound) audio, MIDI I/O
and auxillary volume control.
In the [drivers] section of your system.ini file, you
should have the following three entries:
wave=mvproaud.drv
midi=mvproaud.drv
aux=mvproaud.drv
This driver keeps configuration information in your
system.ini file under the header [mvproaud.drv]
VPASD.386 This file belongs in your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.
It provides extra buffer space needed to handle
16-bit digital audio.
You must have the following line in system.ini's
[386Enh] section:
device=vpasd.386
Also you must add the following line to system.ini's
[mvproaud.drv] section:
buffer=32
MCIMIXER.DOC These two files describe Media Vision's proposed
MIXAPI.DOC standard for software controlled mixer devices.
