if you can borrow a laptop (and MIDI controller) that has reaper, ableton, garage band or Logic Pro X loaded, i bet you'd be amazed at how they make harmonic and rhythmic structures accessible to anybody that wants to play music. GB is probably the most accessible of those
There's some other DAWs that i hear a lot about, FL studio, cubase, reason. Probably good also, i just don't know anything about.
- mindcrime 11y agoIt seems like when I hear people talking about "music programming" the most common software I hear mentioned is SuperCollider. How does that compare to the ones you just mentioned? Sorry if that's a dumb question, but I'm actually pretty clueless about this field. I'm just fascinated by the idea of being able to "play" music without the additional challenge of learning all the physical motions / muscle memory / coordination needed to: play guitar, play piano, etc. I also like not having to go out and buy an instrument. :-)
- dbattaglia 11y agoI highly recommend checking out the demo for Reason: https://www.propellerheads.se/reason https://www.propellerheads.se/reason And eventually you may want to check out Max/MSP for a more "programmy" composition environment (graphical programming but it supports Java and JavaScript coding as well).
- eggy 11y agoCommon Music is really cool. http://commonmusic.sourceforge.net/ http://commonmusic.sourceforge.net/ It is a single executable for all platforms. There are coding examples in the Help menu in Scheme and a sans parenthesis lisp, called SAL. Bird calls are built algorithmically and sound almost real, but do not use any samples; the sound is built from scratch. Grace also has standard music naming too, if that's what you're used to using.
