Yay! I've finally made a music topic! :P
So, here I'll post any of my performances, arrangements, and compositions.
I'm going to start recording the piano pieces I learn, and I'm gonna start to try to compose some stuff of my own. :D
I do have one video already that I just finished tonight:
Gerudo Valley (originally from Ocarina of Time)
-
Do I spy musescore? I believe I do.
I was wondering: I find the interface somewhat awkward to use. Do you have any recommendations?
-
Did you actually record a midi file by playing it on a midi keyboard or is this a drag and drop environment?
-
Well, it CAN use a midi keyboard, but it's actually a note entering environment (Not sure what you mean by drag and drop)
Common input methods are mouse based and pc keyboard based.
It's not a tracker. Not that I have anything against trackers, but this is most definitely not the same concept as, say, MTV Music Generator.
-
I prefer cubase style.
-
Cubase is a tracker. Trackers are great for making music fluidly, but not so wonderful for making instrumental pieces for people to play.
-
I use printmusic... want to try musescore, but the SourceForge DL is not working...
-
Try the version from their site (http://musescore.org/en/download).
Edit: NVM that is the sourceforge one :P
-
Musescore is the best music creating program I found so far. It works easier than a tracker (which I find a PITA to use :-\)
-
Yeah, I like to use musescore.
I've adapted to the interface pretty well
There's a synth with midi a few feet from my computer, but I like the mouse-based entry
I also have Cubase... But I've never used it and I lost the disk :P
-
Well, I got Musescore working and it's good... Just having trouble with a MusicXML conversion with drumset... any ideas?
-
I've never heard of MusicXML :P
Btw, the piano soundfont I use is called Pianissimum
-
musicXML is the XML file that is readable by almost all music composition software
-
I usually use Tuxguitar, but I gotta try this Musescore.
-
Be warned that the default soundfont is bad :P
-
In the progress of composing something, it's about 30-50% done

Anybody have any title suggestions? :P
-
Sounds nice so far. It reminds me of some Star Ocean: The Last Hope music actually. :)

Yeah it works with both Finale and Sibelius, the program converts your music file into an .xml that can converted back between programs.
MuseScore seems like a good free alternative to Finale and Sibelius. I might give it a try.
