Yes! Yes! My darling Jurassic Shark! Our whole life is a big joke of God and we are puppets in it. I did not think to offend you, the picture was cool. I sat, looked at her and wrote a post! Three great composers met: Oginsky, Chopin and Tchaikovsky. Oginsky: - Under my polonaise nobles shot! Chopin: - This is what, under my Polonaise, the whole world was crying! Chaikovsky: - Well, I do not know, my kind of like everyone. But interesting music software will tell jokes about yourself or not?

I can't not share impressions, emotions for more than two weeks run wild in me. The San Diego Symphony concert on Friday, April 12 felt slow and controversial. I was surprised. In years gone by, the combination of conductor Jahja Ling, the San Diego Symphony, and Johannes Brahms, has been unpredictable. But on Friday Weber and conductor Jahja Ling are really a wonderful combination. Der Freischütz - the music is good enough and reflects the story of the development of young love and agreement with the devil. But the overall impression of what I heard was different. My big discovery in Chopin's Concerto for Piano and Orchestra was the performance of Jan Lisiecki. His piano playing inspired me so much that I completely forgot about the bad mood from the previous performance. Jan Lisiecki played her amazingly. It even exceeded all my expectations. About Brahms Symphony number 4, I just keep silence. This is a vivid example of the fact that it doesn’t matter at all what tools the composer uses, an Excel, a special music software, a Word, a ballpoint pen or a quill pen. The measure of everything is the talent of the composer. That's why I love John Williams. After all, he gives every musical phrase a soul. That's what we love him for.

„Simplicity is the final achievement. After one has played a vast quantity of notes and more notes, it is the simplicity that emerges as the crowning reward of art.“ Frédéric Chopin

Tip from the press a year ago. One of the famous composers admitted: “On large projects, we work as a team and try to use the widest possible musical palette: a live symphony orchestra, analog, and digital synthesizers, an entire array of drums and percussions (from orchestral to electronic), vocals, sound design elements... Therefore, we work in four different DAW. 1. Cubase is the undisputed market leader for current music programming. Somewhere about 80% of the source material is implemented in it. 2. Samplitude is my personal workhorse and my “mother tongue”. Not as advanced in terms of programming as Cubase, but it also tries and develops. Among the shortcomings: Samplitude is not on Mac OS. 3. Ableton Live is suitable for "fashionable winding" material. All the same can be done in any other DAW, but Ableton does it faster. 4. Pro Tools - the most powerful industrial tool with the best math mix, which is our “end station”. Gradually, all the music created is assembled into a single Pro Tools project, in which recorded tracks coexist: sketches of orchestral tracks. They are then replaced by the recording of a live orchestra (the orchestral sessions we prepare and record in the same project), tracks of synthesizers, drums, vocals, and other solo instruments. Mixing music, we also produce here. On TV shows, if the budget does not allow an orchestra to be recorded, and music is only needed in stereo, we are using Cubase and Samplitude. For me, as a student at Antioch University Seattle, it was very interesting to collect complete information about computer music software, but there was no time. Our professor gave us a written assignment to reveal the topic of computer music. Some students got the result of the process - groups using computer music. I chose the beginning of the process - creation, creativity, the sacrament of music for a term paper, and found it on au.papersowl.com. Here is the result: Computer programs for musicians Regardless of what exactly connects you with the music - whether you are a sound engineer, composer, musician or arranger - music software, or music "software", you simply need. With the help of modern computer programs, you can easily translate your ideas and perform current tasks more efficiently. MakeMusic Finale Being one of the most popular music editors, Finale is actually a veteran of music software - the first version of the program was released in 1988. The finale is widely used by professional publishers and composers. This has already become a standard in the music industry. Even the hits of box-office films such as Spider-Man 2 were compiled using this editor. There are several ways to work with the program: using the keyboard and mouse or, more conveniently, using a MIDI keyboard. Finale supports importing and exporting MIDI files, allowing you to export audio files in .wav, .mp3, and .aif formats. There are several versions of the program - from basic to advanced. Price varies accordingly. Sibelius Another famous music editor, used by both professional composers and amateurs. In Sibelius, a very intuitive interface - you can perform almost any operation without much going into the menu. The menu itself is well structured. One of the undoubted advantages of the program is the possibility of arranging notes of any complexity. Sibelius allows you to play files and also performs audio recording. At the same time, the sound range is not limited to the “factory” collection; you can use any of the sound libraries on your computer. Of course, MIDI is fully supported. Another convenient option is the ability to publish notes online so that other users have free access to them. Sibelius also took care of the release of more affordable versions. MuseScore Free and, according to many, the best alternative to the above programs. MuseScore also has a wide range of capabilities, including printing, import/export of notes, support for MIDI keyboard. It even supports a musical score for percussion instruments, which in itself is quite rare, especially for a free program. The interface is very intuitive, which simplifies editing. There is an opportunity to work with 4 voices on any number of musical staffs - their number is not limited. Files are exported in .wav, .ogg, and .flac formats or are played using the integrated synthesizer. MuseScore is translated into 35 languages and can be installed on Windows, Mac OS, and Linux platforms. GVOX Encore And one more powerful, but at the same time easy to use software for working with notes, from the company GVOX. Encore allows musicians of any level to arrange, edit and arrange notes of up to 64 musical staffs and 8 voices per mill. Fully supports MIDI, including additional options such as playing dynamics, repetitions, pedal accents and endings. Encore is famous for its customizable toolbar, which makes composing, arranging, editing, transposing and printing notes simply, even for schoolchildren. With its extensive capabilities, this software is suitable for creating simple sheet music solos, as well as for composing entire symphonies. Works on Mac and Windows platforms; moreover, the files are interchangeable. AUDIO EDITORS Adobe Audition Adobe is known as the market leader in publishing software and graphic design for music. Considering the size of their budget, Adobe could purchase almost any company and its products - as happened in the case of Cool Edit Pro, which was transformed into a multifunctional digital sound station called Audition. Audition has a special interface that allows simultaneous editing of multiple tracks. VST plug-ins (instruments and effects) are supported, as well as ReWire technology. The program works on both Windows and Mac OS X. Steinberg Cubase Cubase is a digital audio station developed by Steinberg, the company that launched the ASIO and VST protocols on the market, which are widely used in audio software today. A notable feature of the latest version of Cubase is an advanced synthesizer, drum set and the ability to stretch audio in real time, as well as adjust its tempo. The so-called "control point" facilitates the process of mixing audio. The program fully supports Windows 7, both 32 and 64-bit system. Also available for Mac OS X. Audacity Audacity - multi-track audio recording software - is one of the best editors on the market. It allows you to record, mix, edit audio files on 16 separate channels. The program works with the formats WAV, MP3, AIFF, and OGG. Among the advanced options is the ability to adjust the tempo and tone of the audio. Cassettes and old recordings can be converted to digital format, and at the same time, Audacity will save you time by breaking the original audio into tracks. There are many effects that can be applied to audio. The program is available in over 20 languages for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X platforms. Cakewalk Sonar Sonar is a digital sound station (DAW) developed by Cakewalk / Roland and released last in the company's long list of products. It was created for recording, mixing, editing and publishing audio. The program supports files in .avi, .mpeg, .mov, .wmv, as well as various options for exporting audio, including 64-bit MASTERS. This software is based on the ACT (Active Controller Technology) technology, which expands the ability to manage effects and virtual instruments, and also allows you to work with surround audio with an unlimited number of tracks. However, Mac users are likely to be disappointed - Sonar only works on the Windows platform. VIRTUAL TOOLS Native Instruments Kore Native Instruments is one of the leading manufacturers of music software. Kore 2 is a unique music creation tool with a library of over 500 sounds. The parameters of each sound can be edited, and it is also possible to combine them and apply different effects, thus creating completely unique sounds. Kore Player is a free version of the program, however, it is very powerful. It has a library of 150 sounds that can be used for music of any genre - ambient, classical, techno, etc. The instruments include piano, organs, drums, and, in fact, everything that an arranger might need. With this choice, Kore Player should be the starting point in the world of virtual instruments. It is even surprising that the standard package of some models of MIDI keyboard includes a CD with the program. Modartt Pianoteq It was always hard to find a good virtual piano, but with the release of the first version of Pianoteq, the situation has changed. As a simplified alternative to sound libraries, Pianoteq is physically modeled and based on a new generation of real sound technology. This program is remarkable not only because of the realistic piano, but also the harpsichord, vibraphone and other instruments - you can even create your own. The product is very dynamic and can be customized for each individual. Many famous composers, pianists, arrangers, and songwriters use Pianoteq. If you are a professional musician and need a real piano - this program is for you. Pianoteq is compatible with Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. SONiVOX Symphonic Ensemble Strings To get the sound of a symphonic ensemble, you will need either the ensemble itself or its imitation. However, many virtual instruments sound monotonous and artificial rather than symphonic. In this regard, the software from SONiVOX stands out significantly, and to be sure of this, you can listen to the audio sample on the official website. The string section consists of basses, cellos, violas, first and second violins - each instrument is carefully recorded in accordance with its position in the orchestra. The program Symphonic Ensemble Strings works as a plugin, and as a standalone application; compatible with Windows, Mac OS. Garritan The Garritan company creates its products based on surprisingly "democratic" technologies: Personal Orchestra, Concert and Marching Band, World Instruments, Jazz & Big Band, Steinway Piano. Garritan product developers are positioning their software as unique and affordable, with a particular focus on educational goals. The product “Authorized Steinway Virtual Concert Grand” deserves special attention for those who want to purchase a virtual piano. The program was developed in collaboration with and supervised by Steinway & Sons - the best pianos manufacturers in the world. Their legendary Steinway Model D concert grand piano was manually selected as the backbone of the digital product, including for audio recording. Two versions were created - basic and professional, the latter has five different views of the listener (from the performer, from the stage, from under the instrument cover, etc.). Working on the ARIA Instrument mechanism, the Authorized Steinway virtual piano is available for all major platforms. FORTE http://www.fortenotation.com/ The application is designed both for professional musicians, arrangers, composers, music educators, and for beginners, for example, for students of children's music schools who are only taking their first steps in the world of music. To do this, several versions of FORTE have been implemented, including a free basic program for getting to know and working with basic functions. The program allows you to record, edit, process and print sheet music. Even the basic version offers more than 100 tools to choose from. The application interface is made in English, but is very intuitive, since it was developed with the active participation of the musicians themselves. https://theproaudiofiles.com/hexachords-orb-composer-review/ Orb Composer helps you compose music using artificial intelligence A virtual studio assistant offers ideas for arrangements based on the composer's actions. Hexachords note that Orb Composer does not replace the composer and does not write music for a person. The main task of artificial intelligence is to create drafts and demos of songs, relying solely on the musical ideas of a person. Studying the actions of the user and his decisions, the program offers options for the development of the composition, new participants of the arrangement, chord sequences, instrument parts and much more. https://www.theverge.com/2019/3/27/18283084/warner-music-algorithm-signed-ambient-music-endel For the first time in history, Warner Music Corporation has signed a contract with an automatic music generator. The German program Endel itself creates unique compositions using a combination of the sounds of nature. At the same time, the application analyzes the time of year, the interests of the user and other parameters in order to make tracks that consumers will definitely like. How such programs can change the music industry in the near future, leading futurologists of the world are beginning to argue. ” I think that the main thing in music does not change - the creativity of the composer, the creativity of the demiurge! P.S. According to experts, the further transformation of the music and show business market will take place at an accelerated pace. As you know, in China and Korea, concerts of fully virtual performers are already common, and the number of fans of “digital” idols is estimated at millions. Now this trend, the analyst believes, will spread to a more conservative western market. P.P.S. AI music - link to Utube. Everyone can listen and choose something special for themselves. It is alive or dead - time will tell. But all this will never replace the works of brilliant composers in the concert hall ...
