Too much technology for my right brain mind

[Patrice LeBlanc]

Hello,
I am thrilled to have found this corner. I have been a composer for years and I have recently began to dabble in all the technical stuff out there (finale, garage band, korg work stations). I have a hard time understanding a lot of it. Is there anyone out there who is a technical wizard in digital music?

I'm pretty savvy with music tech and would be happy to help you out. Check out my website, www.madsenstudios.com, for samples of my work.

Thanks,

Nate

What kind of help are you looking for Patricia? Where are you looking to go with it?

I also have some experience in digital music and would be happy to help if I can.

Thanks for your response.
I wrote a musical and used finale print music. I would like to shop this work, but there is some spacing issues and other problems that I'm not sure how to fix.
I recently bought a KORG Triton work station that I love to compose on, but the hand book for it is massive and too technical to understand.
Basically, I need a better understanding of the technology to produce the compositions I have created.

Sorry about the late reply Patrice. I wasn't notified that you posted!!

I'm not really familiar with Finale or the Triton you have. Are you trying to shop it as sheet music or a final record piece of music?

My name is Paul, Im a singer/songwriter new to the digital music world. I have ten songs on myspace.com/dannysolano.
I recorded the music using Protools 8. My son-in-law Brian is really the brains to the production, I have learned alot from him and have a beginners understanding far from a wizard but learning. Paul.

I use this. http://www.sawstudio.com/products_sawstudio.htm I have been using SAW since 98. Then a 24 track. Now, the interface has 72 tracks and 8 layers on each one. It's endless. Very user friendly. I could have you running this like a pro in to time. Protools is way over rated..

There are a number of us that have different skills at different levels. What really matters is your willingness to go in and jab and poke things to see how they work.

Along the way, you'll pick up some basic audio engineering knowledge (gain structure still counts in analog or digital) and what kind of data is recorded with MIDI.

There are plenty of us that have been digital music junkies for a long time. As for me, I've been an audio engineer and composer for a long time now (I've been using Finale since 1993). Along the way, I've worked with a lot of different outboard equipment, instruments and DAWs.
