[quote name='fatback' post='1277474' date='Jun 21 2011, 06:39 PM']Thing is, I've no need to write the notes at all. What i need to do is write the chord symbols in the bars rather than on top.[/quote] Go to youtube, i think there might be some vids on Finale, could be of use to you. [Depending on what version you have] You might be right about Finale being a bit flaky for your needs [on the older versions] But on Finale 2010 & 2011 no such problems. In Finale you can place Chords & Lyrics where ever you please. [As with Sibelius as well] Garry

[quote name='skankdelvar' post='1277182' date='Jun 21 2011, 03:30 PM']You're wrong, of course. This kind of total travesty has never happened to me. Why? because every time I sit on the end of my bed and pick up my bass, I check my tuning. It's easy enough, red means out, green means in. I mean, she's a professional, she should know this. Red = out, green = in. Anyone who doesn't know this should be shot in the face before they get anywhere near a stage. When I saw this total travesty I immediately voided my bowels in disapproval. I mean, she's a professional. Her fee [i]could[/i] have paid for a new hospital. Or at least a paediatric unit. Basically she's just pissing in the face of dying children. I hope she comes on here and sees this and goes away and cuts her hands off so we never have to listen to this sort of total travesty again. Unbelievable. I mean, if she couldn't see the board for the sunshine, she should have signalled to the parasol roadie to get his arse over her side PDf***ingQ. [b] I mean, she's a professional, ffs. It's a total travesty. Green = out, red = in. So simple, even a woman could understand it. God, I love Jaco.[/b][/quote] Lol..... Out there dude... Garry

[quote name='silddx' post='1277007' date='Jun 21 2011, 01:21 PM']All this sh*t can happen to all of us at some point.[/quote] Of course it can, and does. I should think it is how quick you get your self out of the situation, Some do it very quickly, others take... well, for ever. To me the whole thing/band/performance sounds horrible from start to the train wreck at the end. Garry

[quote name='jakesbass' post='1276906' date='Jun 21 2011, 12:06 PM']because if your monitor mix is f***ed then so are you.[/quote] Yep of course - but surely she could hear the two Bass stacks 10 foot behind her? knowing she was out of tune with herself - who knows. Personally i would just put it down to a bad day at the office and move on. Garry

[quote name='paul_5' post='1275366' date='Jun 19 2011, 10:51 PM']The best book I ever read (twice) on this was by [i]The principles of Orchestration[\i] by Samuel Adler. Brilliant book. Don't think it does Big Band stuff though.[/quote] Yep , i have that and it is great, although it is called [b]'Study of Orchestration'[/b] also another good read is [b]'Sounds & Scores' Henri Mancini.[/b] [b]Orchestration - Walter Piston[/b] also worth a look. If you don't fancy on line [b]'Principles of Orchestration by Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov',[/b] Amazon do the Book & CD's set. If you like to put this stuff [Orchestrating] to use in your DAW, this is great DVD,[b] Groove3 MIDI Orchestration Explained[/b] [url="http://www.groove3.com/str/midi-orchestration-explained.html"]Midi Orchestration Explained[/url] Garry

If any one is interested in Orchestrating, There is a couple of great free on line courses here from the Garritan site. Both have Audio examples, and they are both in depth full on study.

Yep great interesting arrangement. Garry

Nice Arco technique - although he does seem to have some tuning problems here and there. Good stuff. Garry

[quote name='fatback' post='1274124' date='Jun 18 2011, 09:00 PM']All i want to do is make up chord charts with time and key sig, and lyrics. [b]I've got Finale[/b] but it's all too roundabout. Last looked for such a thing a coupla years ago and nothing. Any new app out there that might be good for this?[/quote] To be honest if you have Finale, go with that, dead easy to do what you want. For your purpose you would just use add lyric or just Text input for the Lyrics, and just click add chord and use the one[s] you want. Key sig and time sig you just add when you open up a new document. [attachment=83022:LYRIC_SHEETS.pdf] Garry

Mike Batt was not just resposible for the Wombles - he wrote tunes used by loads of acts, and also various TV stuff, He also surrounded himself with top class Musicians. I get the feeling he knew what he was doing. Garry
