|
|
A couple people have told me that there is a software out there that allows you to play on a keyboard and have the music show up on a computer. Well...they said something like that. Is there really a program out there that does that? If so, can someone give me details and possibly a site where I can go to to find out more?
I'd love to be able to see my music on paper. I do have Finale Notepad, but it's only the downloaded version from the website. It's very limited in what it provides.
Hopefully, someone can help me!  |

| you want some kind of midi software. digital performer is one that i'm familiar with, but it's not all that great, and very expensive, i presume. hopefully someone else can suggest a better one, but if not, look into that. |

Hey Fang:
Try Cakewalk's "Home Studio". I've used it for years to do exactly what you're describing.

You didn't mention if you want it for a pc or mac!
As i know the best for mac are emagic logic (http://www.emagic.de/EN/index.html) and digital performer http://www.motu.com/ but they are expensive and complete studio not just a midi sequencer, over $700 but emagic logic has different versions start from around $300. (there is old version logic 5 for windows, but i don't know if it is available now).
for windows, the top ones (except pro tools, Nuendo maybe) are sonar http://www.cakewalk.com/ and cubase http://www.steinberg.de/ and they are also expensive and whole studios.
cakewalk home studio is a sonar cut version which is around $100.
There is a free one called Anvil studio http://www.anvilstudio.com/ but i don't know the limitations as i don't use it.
The top two that specialize in music notation are sibelius http://www.sibelius.com/ and finale http://www.finalemusic.com/ There are others like http://www.mozart.co.uk/ and http://www.vivaldistudio.com/ which are less expensive. |

| Try Cubase if you get a chance. It changed my life in the sequencer world once I got to know it. Whether it's scoring or just plain MIDI funtionality Cubase pretty much does the most with the most intuitive interface. |
