Andrew Gleibman replied to GT Little, Jr.'s discussion Sigh, the tedium of Score Preparation"I agree with your "sigh" remark. However, I consider this situation less grave. If you perform live your MIDI from a MIDI keyboard using very good samples, taken from natural performances on natural instruments, you can do very very many…"
Simon Godden replied to GT Little, Jr.'s discussion Sigh, the tedium of Score Preparation"You said: "As for getting the musicians to play it EXACTLY as I wrote it. I've spoken to lots of session players to ask them exactly what they need to see, and the majority of them said "JUST THE NOTES (and maybe the…"
Simon Godden replied to GT Little, Jr.'s discussion Sigh, the tedium of Score Preparation"Surely, if you're turning in the mock-ups as final products, then I would have thought that the whole notation process was completely unnecessary. I need to notate, because I hope to have my music played. So for me, the final product is the…"
GT Little, Jr. replied to GT Little, Jr.'s discussion Sigh, the tedium of Score Preparation"Well this is discouraging news. I was hoping I was just doing something wrong. Right now, my process is to just write my score by hand, enter my quantized MIDI score into Finale and then follow my hand written score to clean up "the mess."…"
Simon Godden replied to GT Little, Jr.'s discussion Sigh, the tedium of Score Preparation"The most important thing to remember is, that a musician has to be able to read it and play the music EXACTLY as you have composed it.
This may seem stupidly obvious, but you'll be amazed at how many translations can be made by different…"
Simon Godden replied to GT Little, Jr.'s discussion Sigh, the tedium of Score Preparation"As James says, this is probably the fastest way to transcribe to notation, and probably the only shortcut permissable. However, on most occasions you'll find that music will be transferred to alternating layers (that are murder to fix up),…"
"Hi GT, I hope I can offer some help here. I know this is long-winded but I see this as a fairly common 'digital to live' workflow.
Take the existing DAW project and save a new copy first!
On tracks that use keyswitches you can often set…"
SEDstar replied to GT Little, Jr.'s discussion Sigh, the tedium of Score Preparation"aw man... I was hoping god forbid I ever wanted to send someone a page of sheet music, I always figured there was something i could just run the "midi" data file thru, and it printed out a staff? i guess nothing is that simple...…"
Chris Alpiar replied to GT Little, Jr.'s discussion Sigh, the tedium of Score Preparation"Yea man I totally agree! Since sequencing to make a sample library work almost never involves quantized perfect recordings that a notation program will insta-translate into a lovely score and parts. I would stick with Finale personally, and just…"

Nice stuff and I like your beats, do you ever write lyrics (and turn stuff into songs) or do you stick with mainly doing mood evoking things? Keep up the good work, you have a nice talent for presenting your concepts."

- I compose and produce original music for absolutely any type of media, from film to web, on air or off. I have also composed for many dance companies and choreographers.
While working as a dance accompanist and piano instructor, most of my compositional opportunities have been for corporate training videos, commercials (regional and national) and libraries. But I do have a couple of theatrical credits as well.
I am looking to advance in this profession with more feature film and TV credits (but then who among us isn't?). But I am open to just about any type of composition/production project.
Feel free to review my website for samples of my work and credits.

Martha Maria / Dogwood Daughter said… - Hi, I'm listening to "This Just In." Just finished your charming "French Laundry." Wow, you are doing what I would LIKE to do....probably actually making a little money doing music! How long have you been doing this? Okay, now I'm hearing the Exile one....like it, urban and aggressive without being scary! Martha Maria
