![]() ![]() ![]() Overall, it has taken seven or so years for me to make sense of all this stuff and I work on it every day, so while it is takes time and diligent studying and experimenting, there are ways to make learning everything easier and faster, where one way is to have someone explain the key bits of information in a very specific way, which is something I like to do but only focusing on the Mac and a particular set of digital music production hardware and software, all of which I have tested and verified. Need advice from a user to a new device (Notion Music FORUM) Regarding computers, my general advice is found in the following recent post to this FORUM, where the succinct version is that it is vastly easier to do digital music production on the Mac. Some aspects of NOTION 4 can take a while to master, but you can be productive very quickly while you are discovering the more advanced aspects of NOTION 4. Based on what you described as your goals, NOTION 4 is the only product that provides a professional level solution and works cooperatively with the other hardware and software while being easy to use and intuitive. You get immediate feedback, because you hear the notes and can play phrases to listen to the music notation, but you also can play the entire songs and you can play only parts of a single instrument, so it is very flexible. I think you will find NOTION 4 very intuitive and easy to use and regarding the way one indicates dynamics, articulations, playing styles, and so forth, this is done either visually using a tool palette and the mouse or with a keyboard and various key combinations. More specifically, if you can imagine it, then you can do it in the digital music universe, which (a) is a fact and (b) I can and do prove it in my posts to this FORUM and the IK Multimedia FORUM, among others. If I were guessing, my best guess is that a lot of FORUM members have similar backgrounds in one way or another and it takes a while to transition from the analog universe of paper, pencil, and magnetic tape to the digital music production universe, but it is well worth the effort for several reasons, including the obvious fact that you can do virtually everything entirely by yourself.

I realize I can't do without learning MIDI or sampling or basic 101 things in this new world.but is something like Notion going to meet me half way, instead of all my years of musical training going for naught? And does it work like other DAWS and record, say, my Native American Flute parts, as Audio alongside.or do I have to "rewire" it or export to another program/format to use other, non-notated sound clips and samples?įorgive my ignorance, I'm Old School in a new world, and I'm learning it and loving it. Here's my question.does a program like Notion go the extra distance in speaking my "paper trained" language? I mean, if I write "pizz." will it (in theory) load the right sample? Or "cresc." instead of going in and tweaking a veloctiy bar graph. Ambient music.īut thing is, I've been racking my brains with DAWS that did not understand notation.and it seems like I'm speaking computer when trying to learn a computer's interface.when, really, shouldn't the computer speak MY language? Notation? Scores instead of piano rolls? ('ve been crunching myself studying/learning FLStudio and Reaper some). I veered off into Folk music for 25 years, and now I'm coming back to recording in a whole new world. Things have changed.and I'm trying to address the steep curve now. We wrote our music on Vellum with Osmiroid pens. ![]() Ok, I need some basic opinions when I was doing active composition, it was in the days before MIDI, before DAWs. ![]()
