Score Preparation

Here's how I approach score preparation - the job of going from midi to notation. It's not composing; it's not performing; it's the bit in between! Plenty of composers write with midi and samples, but if there's going to be live players on the soundtrack, that midi needs to be translated into notation.

What woodwinds program did you use in this part 4:48 ?

[pwhitfield]

@MoresMishael It's called a flautist. It's a person who blows in a flute and runs his fingers up and down the outside!

Another great video Pete. Very well done and informative for anyone wanting to have their track brought to life by a real orchestra.

Good video.

I'm waiting for the day that good sample libraries could be effortlessly used with finale, and one could create good sounding scores that are also printing, eliminating the uneccesary stage of score preperation.
