Hi and Thanx for your interest 1: The system exports the midi file compostion 2: The Midi-File then gets Imported into the Notation software Yes some parts like the Piano are played Live, and then Quantized at a specified percentage 100% Quantization for Disco/rock/RnB/Jazz/etc Whereas a 25 % Quantization will create that "Human-Feel"..any less and its gonna sound like bedroom demo. Noway can i manually enter notes into any notation software as i cant read music i can play any thing if i hear it a couple of time...but i can only play in the key of "C" My concern is primarily to how the trcak SOUNDS, as to how it LOOKS, because it will usually be combined as part of a video. regarding the amount of data your referring to...........this particular Notion software| MuseScore 4 is fine for simplistic scores, but dont expect it to cope with complex full blown orchestration...........it just can not keep up. not only does it "Page-cut" , it also lists some instruments as "SYNTHS" , which is totally incorrect. Anyway, here's a TREO version focusing on the Piano. MANILOW PIANO TREO.mp3 MANILOW PIANO TREO .pdf barry manilow made it piano solo.mid

Music sounds good, how do you produce your music? I noticed you transition from piano improvisation straight into MuseScore 4. When you're moving those ideas over, do you find yourself live-recording MIDI to capture the 'feel,' or are you manually inputting notes to keep the notation clean? I always struggle with how much human data to keep versus making it look perfect on the page.

Just to Conclude: If paths cross at certain points in life, with executive producers in the future who are looking for: A "SOUND" or MAIN-THEME , to fit there future Movie-Film, then they might request : --- "We want a Main-Theme for our new film that has the elements of : Terminator2 + Indiana Jones + SuperMan + Jurassic Park + Judge Dread + Total Recall + RoboCop2 Can you do something "SIMILAR" like that for our Film ?... and what Budget Cost are we looking at for an Orchestra to perform this ?" --- i could reply : Yes this can be done with all the elements of the "SOUND" your requesting, ...............without The cost of an Orchestra. --- "Well thats Great......... But can you prove what yours saying - Actions speak louder that words ?" --- I would then provide them the links to the "Film-Scores RE-CREATIONS" page on my website as proof, And also send them an additional | 3-Brand New-SIMILAR Main-Title compositions | for them to PREVIEW Of course i would have firstly requested a copy of their Film's INTRO , to combine both VISUALS+AUDIO together They would then either | Accept or Reject.

Hi! Actually I just completed my piano toccata piece inspired from living near the motor city (Detroit, MI) in my childhood... I decided to make this toccata piece since I thought the mechanistic characteristics of the genre match well with general images of the motor city... In this piece I tried to express free style of lots of jazz and popular music heard when I was growing up near Detroit, while keeping this piece modern classical music... Hope you enjoy this piece, and please feel free to leave any comments and suggestions :) Motorcity Toccata.mp3 Motorcity Toccata.pdf

Why hello! Thank you so much for taking the time to listen and write such a detailed comment—I really appreciate it :) I’d be happy to share the full score! It’s still a bit messy since it came together from sketches, but I’m currently cleaning it up and will share it as soon as it’s presentable. Your point about saving some of those authentic cadences for a coda (especially with cymbals) is very interesting, and I think you’re right that it could make the ending feel more impactful. I've used similar structures in my codas, usually ending the introduction with a subtle phrase. This time it was a bit different, but hey! I'm glad they provided a great start :) And I love reinforcing the waltz harmony with brass and winds underneath (specially with the French Horn)! Thanks again for the kind words and thoughtful feedback—it really means a lot!

Thank you so much!!! I'd love to share the orchestral score, but I need to clean it up first haha. These melodies were brought together from sketches and unreleased pieces, so the score is still a bit rough. I'll try to tidy it up and share it as soon as I can. I usually aim for more subtle harmonies and gentler phrasing than Strauss II, and that’s part of my "unique" take haha. I guess sometimes I achieve that, and other times it turns out more robust—like a Viennese waltz. Thank you danishali903 for listening!

Thank you a lot!

Hello @L.S Barros: I love the lyrics in this madrigal. They are so adorable. The textural painting is spot on, too. The 4 part writing is spot on! Great job!

@danishali903 : This is well crafted piece! I love all the different textures and colors. My favorite part is the slow string introduction. Those harmonics....just wow.

Here's a musical quote from "The Outsider" by Colin Wilson. It features a discussion of T. E. Lawrence, Van Gogh, Nijinsky, Diaghileff, Stravinsky and Debussy. And if you've gotten this far, thanks for reading!

Hello @L.S Barros Your piece reminds of the Baroque period suites. Texture-the chorale(homophonic) texture succeeds at establishing a peaceful, serene scene. Harmony-Although the harmony is primarily diatonic, the chromaticism shines through in other means...non chord tones. Score-The score is clean and the engraving is spot on. Orchestration: I felt maybe there some imbalances. (lack of dymanics)

Hi Bioplar, The choice of instrument for this composition, certainty, was correct. Harp, Bassoon, and Oboe do create the tonal colors for a pastoral piece. You could have choose any wood wind instrument, for they soft, warm colors. When I hear the harp, I envision mermaid playing on rock. (that is just me) The woods, I think, create dreamy aura in this piece. I enjoy interplay oboe and bassoon with the harp. Overall...nice job

Greetings! This is a very simple madrigal, as when i was making this i was very bored, so the writing isn't my best. But i kinda like it. Enjoy! LOB 72 There was once a bird.mp3

Thanx guyz I Guess we must all do what feels right for us, even if that changes later on down the road, So i do understand were your coming from , and i appreciate it . Pocket-lintMost music for TV and films is now made entirely using a...Many films and TV shows use music created entirely within a computer due to time and budget restrictions.

The info dump that @MK_Piano wrote should help you, too. Back in the golden days of hollywood, there was orchestra at hand to play the music for the films. Even before the advent of DAW's. Now, with DAW's what occurs: the composer sends the demo to studio for approval. Then his or her team prepares for the final cut (post production). Orchestration, copyist, ect. Now if there are synths, those are not part of the live recording. If there is one. Dune used synths and custom instruments. Scores today have become more hybrid @interlect. Learn to write well. Take feedback when it is provided. :) Final note: I agree with @MK_Piano on how scores should be presented. We are here to help you. Let us do that...please.

Hello @Thatguy v2.0 What a lovely prelude you have here. :) I am will now provide review: 1) At bar 5 and following you marked what pedal markings should be. But you do not need to mark them every time. Just show us once and then use sim. expression. That way, you show the performer what the pedal markings. 2) the counterpoint is spot on. I see no issue there.

[INFO DUMP] Kvothe has merit in their critique. There are plenty of truths about music and the most basic one is that this art is here for you to enjoy. Whether it is by music creation, performance or listening to a song, it is here for all humans to express and interact with. This said, we live a society, and there are rules, expectations and trends for us to follow. In the music industry, this is very much true. Most of us here are professionals in the classical/ traditional aspect of music creation and performance, while some focus on more modern productions and performances on the popular stage. When it comes to the idea of having your work performed, the first and most basic universal is to have sheet music ready for musicians to perform. Sure, a studio or individual can only use the MP3 render and call it a day, however, that may not work for all cases. You may hire a band or an orchestra to play the music, however, they too will expect some PDF or printed copy to use. No matter the means, if you truly wish to participate in this field, you must inform yourself on the current practices. Why? Because there is an expectation and standard for music distribution. One aspect often overlooked is the side of copyright and trademark protection. If you have a work performed or licensed, you need to have this protection for widespread use. If you publish the score, it must also be protected. Just because "you made it" doesn't always guarantee it is protected. To tie back in, this is the fundamental point of Kvothe's comments. You cannot just throw a score out into the community and expect everyone to respect it like they would a Mozart work. There are professional expectations in engraving, formatting and document layout. So much so, people may disregard your score if you misspelled an instrument part. Sheet music distribution is under a lot of scrutiny and please do not take any comments about it personally. We are all spoiled by good sheet music and to be fair, we expect to see it... especially if we have to spend money for a copy.

Alas, I am not ready for this! I am still learning...

Why hello there, When I was listening to your piece, I heard a compound meter and not simple meter. From the score, you have a simple meter (3/4) with triplets that gave me that me that impression. and Other triplet figures too... Switch 3/4 and replace it with 9/8. you will still have the triplet feel! You might have to adjust some bars to adjust to meter. But overall, you will be surprised... The direct modulation from D-A was a nice surprise. It reminded how J. Williams modulates.

Why hello there, I would like to see the full, if possible. That way, I can full see how you orchestrated each section. However, what I can do is give a review from the audio. I love the dovetailing in the woods and the cadential closures. That is nice touch. However, I think those authentic cadences might serve a better purpose in a coda, especially with the cymbals. :) The Patti roll was excellent. That provide a great start. I think when you have interchange between piano and strings. With the lyrical melody, use wood wind. Then when you have piano part strings! Strings can handle such bouncy melody. :) Background material: Underneath, you can use brass and woods to create waltz type harmony. Overall, this is charming piece.

Hello YC gang, Below I have attached the first ten measures of arrangement of Meger second Humorquse. The cast is woods in pairs and two horns. Here is what needs to you check for me: Score this as if this this was entry for YC contest. My goals; I want to successfully score for orchestra->check balance, texture, and timbre. Check for engraving errors I have missed. check for instrumation errors Harmony errors etc Reger Humor no. 2 untitled.mp3 Meger.pdf

Hi there, The operative word was "could". Does not mean there will be. But could be. And that depends on the budget. Even Indie studios can have live musicians (see silk song).

That can be difficult if the Scoring Program cant "Keep-Up" with an EXTERNAL midi-Import file. Having a Live Orchestra play your Compositions must very nice and fulfilling . but then what ?........................ For producers like me , its a Dead-End............because it cant be taken any further. Regarding Total-Costs to be paid out to Additional Musicians, Budget restrictions may be a priority, when it comes to paying either: 1: One producer 2: A dozen musicians and also the Re-Editing involved in the Final-Cut, has be taken into consideration that would take more time to Re-Score.....than to post-edit via computer Time is Money.................

This is partial correct. However, in media works, there could be musicians involved. Ergo: why not make sure your demo and your score is ready?
