hi i just registered sooo ^_^
conigiwa minasan
.... donno if i spell it right or not....

anyway, which software u guys used the most here?
mostly midi? which synths u guys used during composition?

I use Finale 2004, which can synthesize MIDIs, WAV files, and MP3s using high-quality soundfonts. :)

u useSB live or audigy for soundfront?

Noteworthy composer for me. I can print music, make Midi's, and even notate MIDI using its notating feature. This comes in handy when arranging songs! check the topic called "Composition programs" for more info, Noteworthy is on there somewhere.

Finale Notepad for me, but I don't think i have the full version, since I can't key change or time change during the middle of a piece

@dxl:

I use the SBLive! audio, but Finale 2004 comes installed with its own soundfont set, anyway. :)

I use G7 for composing/transcribing and etc... But it really sucks since I am not a guitar player, and as for soundcard or whatever... I use Windows GS Wavetable (or something like that) but it sort of sucks too X_X.

If you want to use Finale(the complete versions) then beware, they cost hundreds of dollars even with a student discount. Isn't there a sticky all about composition programs?

lots nicely composed music here~
and thankz for the inputs~ i have tried Finale years ago, it's still the best for making music sheets! but i do audio mixing so... it's not really for me
and i'm quite slow at reading non simplified music scores X_X .... anyway i'm suprise no one using Sonar or Cubase here?

sonar may be good for converting midis to mp3, remixing etc. but it's not really a notation programm imo =_=

i use finale 2003... but its not that great. but i cant complain.

Noir7 uses Sonar, but he's vanished off the face of the earth - he ain't posted for about three weeks now :/

It's between Sebalius (sp?) and Finale for me. It's easier to enter notes in Sebalius, and Finale creates a good final project.

P.S. Second the notion on expence of these two programs... Its to the point where it's just stupid...

i am in a new school and we just got new computers and whatnot so i can use one of my teachers finale 2005 discs and i get it for free!!! ^.^ lol sumimasen.




and remember everybody! neko wa oishi desu! :neko:

:lol: nice most of you really know the grammer of music!
unlike some other places, full of people that can't making anything, and knowing how to use Fruityloops and Orion for ... not so good stuff, you can still see some ppl use Acid and called that they made their own music hahahaha

i'm not a very musical person yet, but i will, i will soon master the math ! and better my piano skill.... i better....
hopping that soon within 3 years i can read and write music score just like using matrix sequencer :sweatdrop:

I used to have Finale 2003....then my computer crashed and i lost everything so i stopped composing for a while. and i forgot all about it. Now i want my finale back but i have to illegally dl it again lol.... <_< Well maybe not, unless i find a program thats free and as good as Finale...

Noteworthy Composer is teh wickedness :D It lets you save compos as midi files which is more than pesky Notepad does <_< *hugs Noteworthy*

I use Final 2005 (the complete version) :D
You can save your composition into mp3, wave and midi files in
very good sounds , but thats is the only thing i know from 2005&#33;&#33; :sweatdrop:
There are more things you can do on final 2005 &#33;
But i don´t know it yet :heh:

Then Anvil Studio must be better than Noteworthy because it&#39;s free...and Noteworthy&#39;s not.
