As a rookie composer...
This is quite valuable!

[arthurferraro]

I hope this will help me I think it will. Stay positive everyone

I thought that this was a tutorial. BUT, Found out it was paid software...

I'd have likely paid if there was at least a trial period to be sure that I could comprehend it...



THANK YOU!!
THANK YOU!
THANK YOU!

I have NOT watched a SINGLE FRAME, but for DAYS as I am starting with lyrics (because it seems the only way for "me" to productively write and progress as a beginner.), NO ONE has had ANY advice but "Start with the instrumentals first"... BUT they weren't listening to my dilemma.

My lyrics are already developing a swing and bounce, but I don't know HOW to place the Time signature inside of the D.A.W. so that I can capture a "lead instrument" to "Fill in for my syllables" as a guide to write around... and MAYBE i'm doing it wrong.. But, it seems to make sense from a "problem-solving" perspective as I face new challenges.

ANYWAY!!! Again, Thank You!

[KatKiddEnt]

Thank you very much! This gives me something to go on! ❤❤❤

I just inherently had this techniquenin my own mind honestly I literally, did the same I did the same ! In my dream even while making a song I was writing and singing the lyrics in rhythm to see if it fits in the rhythm or not because that's how we construct the melody right ? Then we can put those rhythmic words at certain points make it slow or fast as per the mood of the song and add a rhythmic sound and then make a melody with chords I am gonna make songs in every scale with their chord progression my best choice is always mystical deep silent songs and second dancing pop songs these both types I like a lot ! Yess correct ! It's the song writing fitting choosing words in the rhythm then you can fit in whatever melody you want to fit as simple as that !

When I tried to use this tool, my finger tapping only records whatever the duration is set too. I can't seem to get it to record the different durations that I want for my rhythm, using this method.

Ohhhh man ive been looking for this video for a Long

[lolsucks]

Im trying to write a song for my ex I know what to say in my lyrics but I dont know how its sung and Im struggling to find a melody or chords that fit the mood of the song(But I am using bad free Piano Sounds so that may be the reason why everything sounds bad but I dont have money to buy a good piano library or Keyboard Workstation). And I cant find a songwriter anywhere who knows what he is doing to help me. Everyone I asked didnt have the skills for it.

Can't watch this video, the video disappeared, the blogger can re-send it? Thank you

[DAVEJEEDESIGNS]

I have written many lyrics but don’t just know what rhythm to use

[Cassthetic_Art_Official]

is their one thats for free and doesn't cost money atm?

[brianasewell_]

Tapping duration not working ive spent an hour trying to fix it, not worth you time but i do really want it to work

[mohitagarwal]

I have written a song but i dont know how its sung and music too

[vivianwarran]

I like the software, and tried it for free but couldn't finish a very short paragraph without being asked to pay for it if I wished to continue which I found ridiculous. Why offer to try it for free when you can't do something like what you demonstrated? I would have love to paid for this if there was a trial period for me to try it the way you demonstrated it.

[astephstephen]

What app is that or what is that recording app???

[Lamia-dx]

Which app is this where can i find it i really need someone to answerrr😭😭😭

[edwardjones]

when i tap, it doesnt record the melody like it does for you. it keeps going to whatever the default note was, not by press. how do i make it like the one in the video? Thanks

[Atanepes]

I don't know after 4 years later gonna answer my question .
