stevie: yah, I;d LOVE to find a musician to play one of the pieces from sheet "as written". Though, most would coome for me with a knife in their teeth in the middle of the night dressed like ninjas, LMAO... I'm working from a "piano bargraph", but, the keyboard is on teh side of the scren too, so I know what any individual note is...
I GUESS I could transcribe a piece from piano roll to standard sheet, but, using the bargraph for several years left me with little use for which "staff" gets the sharps and flats, lol... it could be DONE though, just be a study in slow tedium, and a gobs of doube and triple checking, working very slowly.
On the other hand, midi notes are midi notes... is there a program that would just print out the sheet from the MIDI file or some such? theres pitch, start, and duration to every Midi note, right?
on that note (pun intended, lol) every
gtrack I could simply export to a separate MID track, and the program would prnt ou the sheet?
well, if there is a program that works like that. And if there isnt, there SHOULD be, lol... I'm not the only guy out there making instrumentals on a computer, you know... only the best soundtracks get written out in sheet for live musicians, the rest are a lot of them made entirely on the computer, and the individual WAV tracks sent out to a mixer for post processing...
I rather think I might DIE if the classical guitar 1 1/2 minute track was done by a real classical guitarist from sheet taken straight from teh MIDI... and he put the "real, live, feeL" he had into it... local musicians, even if I keep everything easy to play, wont touch anything... for divers reasons, among them...
1) whoa, I dont, like PLAY musc like that dude, I play my interpretation of it, dude, just give me the chords, man... (not a possibilty, lol, youve heard some of it...)
2) no way dude. AInt no way n h#!! I'm gonna spend MY TIME giving you benefit of ANY of my chops dude, anything I do, is like, mine man...
3) your schizz is GAY, dude. Classical is for sissies, dude... I like to WAIL, dude, you know?
4) Huh... you aint no real musician, dude... you have to JAM and, like, play an instrument dude... just writign music is for, like, losers, man...
5) a real basic piece once, I transcribed it for a guitarist... I'm sitting there trying to figure out why it sounds "funny" and isnt "working"... when i realized he's playing all my major chords with 4 fingers... he responded with: "like dude... chill OUT, you know? You like a note nazi? jeez man... I got, like, so many different G's i can play, I, like, you know, just FEL to play a different G everytime I play the G, you know? Lighten up... "But!... But!... it sounds COMPLETELY DIFFERENT! Its what I am pointing out the NOTES for!!" "Yah, this really sux when you finally play it, you know?"
"well, it sux when you invent 7ths and 9ths randomly!!! wha exactly in the *&^%ing h#!! did you even WANT the tabs for? so you could IGNORE them and just take my root notes, and plop random tones and chords all over my given root notes? I thoguht TAB was sheet music for guitarists!!!" "Dude, like, I wanna PLAY it, not, like, take a TEST on it, you know? Geez, man... lighten up, have a beer man..."
and THIS was how I got to be a one man thing, on a computer, in my little computer studio, if yu can, like, dig it and all, man... lmFao...
i tried approaching singers, but, they all want me to write lyrics, and pencil in chord names over the words, cos thats "like, how you write a song, dude... dont yu know nuthin, dude?"
ARRRRRGH! I could som days just strangle guitarists and local musicians. I dont know HOW people work together in the real music industry... its like no one believes in writing anything DOWN and "codifying it" ? lmFao..
THEN i can buy SHEET MUSIC for any song I want to.... SOMEOne is writing it all down. Either I am xrazy, or all the local musicians are crazy? I dunno... I rather gave up on the whole concept, lol...
editors note: keep in mind, though... 99% of them have "PERFECT PITCH" though, eh? Riiiiiiiii-iiight..........
I offered one slow easy piece a guitarist expressed interest in using? I brought over the software, to let him HEAR it, and SEE the notes, at any speed slower he WISHED... I get nothing but his strummibgn on the downbeats..... I mean, I got to start to think NO ONE in the entire music industry, EVER, wrote down a piece of standard notation, EVER, to hear all of them tell me iim some kind of "nazi".
I FINALLY located a singer that wantyed to tery to write lyrics over a short piece of music... he asked for the "chords", so, I wrote the bubble gum melody down fro him, and wrote down the "dpwnbeat chords" each portion of the cadence was in... I got exactly *nowhere*...
I got to thinking theres somethign wrong with me, or something. None works like this, I guess...??
NOW, stevie B is telling me "real musicians expect sheet music", LMAO... (that would be a novelty, I've tried everything known to MAN to indcate what notes get played where, lol, on even simple pieces, lol, I once reverted to pointing at the frets.... still got nowhere... lol)
so, if theres some software that prints out standard sheet music from the MIDI, I'd probably die a happy man if someone ever played something... lol
