Can you properly render the individual instruments as audio tracks before rendering the entire project?

It's not self-help per se, but I've found the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator to be helpful in explaining to myself why I behave the way I do.

no! john freeman run out of here as fast as you can!

Summer semester starts May 18th for me. If Chicago's a go, I might come, depending on the date and day of the week. If it's St. Louis, I'd definitely be there.

Guys, I want to work for Nintendo and be a video game chef. Is this a realistic career goal y/n?

I'm in St. Louis for school until at least next year.

I wonder ... would a conducting game work better with a pen/tablet instead of a Wiimote? The physical conducting motion wouldn't be as realistic, but drawn conducting patterns would be more precise, and possibly easier for a computer to interpret. DS game, maybe?

Not a game, but still an interesting use of the Wiimote: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0J5F_R-RRLc

Garritan has bought TASCAM's Giga line. They have not yet announced what they're going to do with the software, but the buyout means that the Giga Continuous Velocity Piano that TASCAM is giving away could disappear without advance notice sometime in the coming months. I hate to sound like an alarmist, but it's the best free piano VST that I know of, so if you don't have it, get it, and make a backup.

Your best bet would be to try to contact housethegrate, since he made the ReMix. You could try sending him a PM (his forum profile is here), but it's been over a year since he's logged in, so he may not get it. He also has AIM name listed.

One other thing that might influence choice: Finale is on a yearly release schedule; Sibelius releases every two or three years. I'm not sure about Sibelius, but Finale files aren't backwards-compatible with older versions of the program, so you'll run into compatibility issues if you intend to share files with people who have different versions of the program. And because of the yearly release cycle, there are a lot of people with older Finale versions.

Yeah, it's been a while since I've used Sibelius, but my recollection is that the interface is much more drag-and-drop feeling than Finale. If you don't like how something looks, you just click on it and move it. Finale uses specific tools to do specific things, and if you don't know how the tool works, it can be hard to figure out how to accomplish things.

Finale or Sibelius if you have money; if you're eligible for an academic discount, they're substantially cheaper. Finale Notepad or some other stripped-down version of Finale (e.g. PrintMusic) if you don't want to spend a lot. Notepad 2008 has been discontinued, but was and is free if you can find it. Lilypond is free, too, but it's code-based, not graphical interface-based.

6/8 is generally understood to be two beats, each divided into three eighth-notes. 3/4 is three beats, each divided into two eighth-notes. The total number of eighth-notes is the same, but they're grouped differently. 6/8 could be counted like one-and-a two-and-a, whereas 3/4 would be counted like one-and two-and three-and. It's part of a more general distinction between simple time (each beat is divided in half) and compound time (each beat is divided in thirds).

Except he says it's similar to 3/4, which is lol. And he says to play experimental jazz you just play like a little kid would. Which is also lol.

Not all of it is 5/4, but most of it is.

This is how they'd nail you. In fact, they'd probably be within the TOS to discontinue your service just for using an unsecured network.

Rhapsody and Napster are essentially music rental services.

He does 6/8 ("very similar" to 3/4) and 11/4, too! EDIT: Ahahaha! And experimental jazz!

Here ya go!

One could make the case that the minor v is functioning like the the upper three notes of a V9/IV, resolving deceptively to ii. That's how the voice leading would work, anyway (although voice leading isn't really happening in this case). Obviously, B and C# (the lower two members of the hypothetical V9/IV) aren't present, but they were there in the previous chord. Weird sidenote -- that Youtube vid is tuned down a half-step from the soundtrack CD. EDIT: Another way of looking at it: In the context of B major, we expect A-sharp to resolve up to B and A-natural to resolve down to G-sharp. In the case of this minor v, the A-natural resolves to G-sharp (in the ii) just as we expect it to.

The samples are only up for a couple more days, but the submission deadline isn't until April 12th.

Tim and Geoff Follin did the music. No wonder it's so awesome.

If none of that works, boot from a Linux live CD and delete the files in Linux.
