good poltergeist Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 it has a piano roll, which should be close enough to actual score notation for your whiney little tastes. BITCH jk Seriously, FL has the easiest curve of any mixing program I've ever used. For a beginner, I highly recommend it. See, that was a nice answer. I really do appreciate it. Thanks. However, the Piano Roll is beyond me. Apparently I suck. Anyway, methinks I'm just going to continue composing in Sibelius... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splunkle Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Piano roll = Ace, once you get to know it. It makes sense, what with the length of the note being how long it plays for, and having the testing piano on the left so you can see what each note sounds like, and then note properties on the bottom. It just makes sense. Once you learn how to use it, you shall see how it gives you so much power when composing on the computer. One problem is that you can't see what all your channels are doing at once, which could suck if you werre doing full on orchestra stuff... but if you are FL may not be the best choice for you.

analoq Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 why does it seem that music mixing software tends to have very little to do with actual music notation? that kind of thinking bothers me, so i will answer you. terms: humans = musicians machines = synthesizers, samplers, and other digital instruments lesson: - music notation is made for humans. - machines do not understand notation. if you're writing music for machines, it needs to be in a protocol they understand: MIDI. - representations like piano rolls and event editors translate to MIDI easily. - music notation does not translate to MIDI easily, the notation has to be intepreted in a number of ways. any questions?

It's one method of many to input notes, but it's not a bad one in the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realpolitik Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 trust me, when you've been to a handful of forums where you have multiple posting stuff like "fruityloops piano roll is bloody awesome for producing some phat ch00ns," especially when (hopefully) there are better alternatives, it annoys me greatly. Maybe it's just the British slang online. I don't even know. But recording MIDI beats manual sequencing anyday, assuming that you have low latency.

zircon Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 I prefer sequencing by mouse... anyday. I can't work any other way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OverCoat Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Please stop putting "acquired" or "procured" et al in quotes. It's not witty anymore. It makes most of us not want to help you anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPP Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Hullo! Perfect newbzorz here! Don't eat me! I was wondering if anyone on these forums has heard of or tried Melody Assistant and Gold Sound Base, and if they could tell me how successful they have found it to be for making remixes. I have been using it for over a year now to write original music, but I am not sure if this site would consider it final-production-quality material for submissions. My budget demands that that and live recordings of my various woodwind instruments are my only options for mixing... opinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chice Jigle Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I'm such a newb. I want to ask, what is a good program for doing remixes? I have finale 2006, but it just don't seem to work well with me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
