Music Maker/Composer?

Sat Oct 23, 2004 1:02 pm

Is there some program that allows you to make music by clicking on the keys to make notes to use or something? Just like a keyboard.. allowing you to use a variety of instruments. Or something like the composer on some of the old Nokia phones.. like 3310. Anything would be good..

There's a computer program called Finale you may want to look into.

Although I'm unsure about the current price of it, I believe it'll be at least two hundred dollars. o_O

My fav. program is Overture

Search "cakewalk overture download" on google, you'll get a trial. But if you want the whole version, there are several chinese sites that you can download from.

There's something out there called Noteworthy Composer that my band teacher uses, but I haven't actually checked it out yet.

[edit] Just checked it out, it's $39 US to buy it.

I'm not sure about the price of this, but the program is called "Sonar". Also cakewalk thingy. It's pretty cool. I used it last year for CAS week (err..a week when you just do chosen activities) to create dance tracks ^^.

I prefer regular Finale to Notepad, but Notepad's a great alternative if you can't afford the former.

I didn't even know there was a difference :P Notepad is what I used a couple of years ago in music, I was just told to download it XD

There is always Sibelius. It's good for composing any kind of music as it has TONNES of different musical sounds, from Trumpets to Bouble Bass. It's what my school uses and what my big sister uses for her Music Bachelor Of Education (which means she's training to be a Music Teacher)

I use this thing called Notation Machine to make MIDIs. The trial version is limitless, allthough the only way you can save is if you export it as a MIDI.

It's got a ton of different instruments, though, and you don't need a keyboard. Drag and drop works just as well^^
