I just bought Finale 2010, and am VERY happy with it. Although, I'm not sure how well it would do with hiphop/techno. I have couple friends who use Reason for that, and love it.
I am totally fraudulent. The idea is to get away with murder! I can't play most of the things I compose. I consider it important to be able to do the rhythms accurately, I do. But hitting all these notes on a keyboard, you gotta be kidding. I have...
When you cut to the chase: All tools are just that ... tools .The more tools you have - and can manipulate for your use:( harmony, counterpoint, orchestration, etc . ) in conjunction with a well developed inner "ear" and self editing system , the ...
I have a strong academic background in theory, ear-training, composition, etc., and teach harmony and counterpoint on the side. With all that studying, you might expect me to suggest that you need to fall in line, and do it all the "right way." Bu...
I never said it was limited, only saying that some die-hard pro tools/cubase fans consider FL Studio to be limited. I honestly disagree with that opinion. They judge "limitedness" on price and learning curve, just because FL isn't 1000 dollars and...
Limited? IMHO, it can be quite diverse.
There is somewhat of a learning curve, but I concur with your second statement.
Oh, I would also prefer a notation layout myself, I just cannot say I have the funds to obtain both that and good-sounding sa...
I own FL Studio and it is my preferred application. I just love its streamlined and efficient outline that enables you to do what you want exactly how you want it.
People say FL Studio is limited and nowhere near to the "pros"...but it is just as...
I have used every piece of software listed except Overture.
I would have to say that although Finale is not the most user-friendly, most notably to new users, it is the one I favor the most. I actually have very little keyboarding skills, so I us...
If you have any sort of MIDI keyboard, then Finale is great with that. It is annoying to enter notes by hand in Finale, but with a keyboard, it's the best notation software I've tried. But if you don't have a keyboard, I'd go with something else.
Well, I find that unless you use the flex-time input, it still takes longer to input music into Sibelius than it does to just write it freehand. For me, what makes the program invaluable is the ability to make revisions and hear the music as I'm w...
Hi Andrea,
May I apologize for suggesting your tune may be stolen. I spend most of my time telling people not to worry about such things as it is pretty difficult not to compose something that hasn't already been done. Such thoughts kept me from composing for many years. Every time I started a tune I would think I'd heard it before and stop. So, if you haven't listened to "Always With Me Always With You" before it's just a coincidence. I look forward to hearing more of your music.
