[Finale] Live performance versus recordings WAS:Garritan and other stuff

2005-01-29 Thread David McKay
I haven't followed this whole thread, so forgive me if I'm reinventing the wheel ... I think it's a shame when folk prefer recordings to live performances. Sometimes it is only because they have not experienced live music, or not often enough. Some young people have huge expectations of live

Some contemporary music leaves me cold on recordings, though it may work well in a movie, but can be absorbing in a concert. I have some great recordings of choral music, but live performances of great choirs make the hairs stand up on the back of my head. [Still got a few, there!] David McKay

Patricia, My immediate reaction to your problem description is that the MIDI setup of the Proformance module at college differs from the setup on the tone generator which you use at home in some way related to either MIDI channel numbers or program numbers. Simply put, the equipment at home

Thank you so much for your speedy response. When I go to the college on Monday (it's some distance away), I'll check out every one of your suggestions. Thus far, It's been such a waste of time very frustrating. Hopefully, one of your suggestions will solve this. Patricia Spedden

Wow. If it's just about 'getting it right' then we can all go home. No live performance - no CD, no matter how many takes it's been mastered from -- no account can ever be perfectly perfectly dead-on absolutely-as-it-can-be right on the money perfect. Or -- merely be'gottenright.' But

Little OT. This is my long time question that I was too embarrassed to ask, while this list seems to have the best resources. Please forgive me if this is too dumb. I was always wondering how metronome value are divided, meaning, I am used to increment by two from 40 up to 60, but I have never

Where the difference is, is that computers have not put engravers out of work (except in the very lowest echelons of publication) to the same extent that sequencers have cut into musicians' jobs. There is not enough work to go around to all the displaced musicians, unlike former hand-copyists
