Music maker
« on: December 08, 2007, 01:57:40 am »
Anyone know of easy to use programs that I can use to make music,

Sort of like windows movie maker, I put in when I want a note to play, with all kinds of instruments, mainly piano and synth.

I suck at finding what I want on the internet.

Just do this: Google Finale Notepad.

There you should find a free download for the Lite version of the program (It has Piano and Synth, so it'll work for what you want.) It is an awesome and easy-to-use program. Buying the FULL program will run you over $100... so yeah... go with the Lite, since it has the instruments you wanted.

You can use the keyboard for playing notes with any program that supports MIDI input, you just need to install a virtual midi driver and then use some program that sends midi output from keyboard. There are some, I made my own program which i can configure the keyboard any way i like.

Sibelius 4 works like a charm, especially with Kontakt (sound database).

Well, had I known you had dial-up, I wouldn't have recommended it to you.

(I have dial-up too... so I know how bad it is... and mine's only 26k... :P)

Thats nothing, try 7 days, and when it was done, it was the wrong file.

I spent 6 days downloading a movie, and when it got finished, it said the damn thing was corrupted!
