  • Cool Alan, I know Cubase, my dad works with it (he arranger for profession)

    He uses Midi a lot for his project, and I wanna ask you to explain that people shouldn't be turned off if they prefer real instruments and don't like the sound of virtual libraries.

    Cubase has a pretty cool Score-feature, so what he does is make his composition or arrangements, that might be for a full orchestra, in midi first, so he can get a rough idea of what it sounds like, and then print the score for the players.

  • What on earth is a crotchet and minim? haha I know eighth and sixteenth notes. XD

  • Quavers and Semi Quavers*

    those crazy americans call crotchets quater notes... I'd want my syllables back if I were them..

  • Oh and Paige's arrangement is FIT!

  • Eighth notes? Sixteenth notes? I miss crotchets and minims! xD

    Great tutorial, though, Alan! Really useful, as ever!

  • I LOVE that song<3

    From your album (:

    Great teaching alan!

  • thanks so much! I have cubase and i had no idea how to do any of that stuff. o___o

  • I used to use Cubase a couple of years ago when I was doing my GCSEs (if you know what they are), and I didn't get along with it very well, I tend to use Sibelius so I can actually see it written as actual notes.

    Thought I agree that using MIDI gives a more professional sound when working with instruments, unless you have a large amount of extremely good musician friends!

  • I really need to get me some midi software - I can see myself spending hours with it =)
