thanks for your help.
I am not sure what I will want to do in the future with the laptop. I just want a versatile laptop, which is good enough for recording acoustic drums and keyboard sounds in several layers over each…"
Don Kim replied to Matthew Scott's discussion Getting a Mac for recording on Q base"It might help if you also stated in more detail what you hope to accomplish.
For running Sibelius, likely any Macbook should suffice. For running Cubase, it depends on what you plan to do with it. Work primarily with audio tracks?…"

Well, it's all programmed sounds. I used Acoustica MixCraft 5.0 for it (basically a real simple recording program, where you also can make music - it's like Cubase, just alot simpler). I do want to upgrade to a more…"

Matthew Scott replied to Matthew Scott's discussion Dissonant Interval in the group Music Challenge Group!"Any Way you decide to incorporate it, it was just a suggestion I hope I have time to do it myself

Matthew Scott added a discussion to the group Music Challenge Group!Dissonant Interval
It is said that the Interval called a flattend ninth (13 Semi Tones) is one of the most dissonant ones.How about trying to compose a short piece that mainly revolves around the flattend ninth Interval, but as a goal trying to make it sound nice and not out of place.(Listening to the first movement of Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven you will hear him using this interval and it not sounding out of place, just as an example.) So enjoy the Challange and hopefully this Group will come up with more…See More

at the Frankfurter-Musik- Werkstatt (Pop & Jazz school) in Frankfurt my main instruments are Drums and I Keyboard (Piano). I love Video Game music espacially the older stuff like "Secret of Evermore" by Jeremy Soule, or "Beneath a steel sky" by David Lowe.
I earn my money through teaching Drums & Piano, but am looking for a career in composing for Video Games or animation in general and working together with fellow musicians or animation students. If anyone is also fairly new when it comes to composing or animation, feel free to write to me.
I pretty much nearly only do music related things all day.

- Hi there, Matthew! :)
Well, it's all programmed sounds. I used Acoustica MixCraft 5.0 for it (basically a real simple recording program, where you also can make music - it's like Cubase, just alot simpler). I do want to upgrade to a more sofisticated composition program soon, but such things often costs alot of money...
But for starters I'd recomend MixCraft or Cubase for recording (off course you can use free software such as Audacity aswell, but really, Audacity sucks) and Sibelius - or free alternatives such as MusScore - for notation. Good luck! :)
Cheers!
Kristin.
