Re: Shane Reply #1 – 2003-11-27 04:42 pm The trick is the "listening" part. If you can tell what a note is by hearing it, you can use NWC to write the music, then save the result as a MIDI file. Of course, you would also have to be able to tell what synth instrument or instruments are playing.A sequencer is a kind of music program that deals directly with the MIDI, and usually has little interest in sheet music. Many NWC users (some of whom are professional musicians) also have a sequencer. But the part about "listening" is still critical. If you can't do that, then software won't help you.It would be helpful to know enough music theory that you can intelligently guess what music is doing, so that you don't have to hear every note accurately - given some accurate notes, you could guess others based on theory - you might be wrong, but it would still sound OK.And no, don't even ask about software that will do the listening for you. Many have tried, many have failed, except in very limited circumstances.Keep in mind that for computer games, there are a lot of sound effects that are not traditional music. Quote Selected
