Hi, I've had QWS for almost a year now, but it lost some of its appeal when I realised I couldn't make the kind of music I wanted to make easily. When you have premade midi files, the process seems like a breeze, but whenever I try to play a sequence by hand, I run into two problems: 1. There aren't enough keys on a laptop keyboard for me to have the desired range, and 2. When I play my fingers just aren't coordinated enough to make the music smooth and well-timed. I don't have a keyboard I could hook up to the computer via midi cable, and even if I did, my hands are hardly better coordinated on a normal keyboard and my chords come out sounding clunky and not flowing together nicely at all. And That's just one part!
When I insert events, everything is perfectly timed, but the sounds can still seem clipped when the instrument I'm using is something like piano rather than strings, which seems to sound smooth enough when I try. As well as the abruptness of the notes, it's so tedious adding them individually in the list, as I have to add the note, change its length, change when it starts in the bar, change its pitch, then insert another note the same way. This is the only way I feel I can make chords whose components all start at the same time on the first try, but in a decent length piece of music, there are thousands of notes! I'm starting to think I'll never get anywhere at this rate... Do any of you have any tips? I'd appreciate literally any advice at this point.
