Re: So. . .Here's Some Mo'
Hi Jeffrey,
Well, at least it's getting listens 'Tis a busy time of year for many (myself included, with kids home from school for the summer, trips, big band gigs at all the little festivals, etc. etc.......) So don't feel bad that it's garnered no comments thus far - at least no one threw anything (that's my criteria for a successful gig btw ) Just had the opportunity to listen to it. Cowbell is always fun (even our big band drummer uses it occasionally ) I do like the chromatic bass line (I play bass and so used the Staff/Transpose instrument key to get it up to readable) a lot and the drums as always are superb. The other instruments are good too - reminds me of a jazz jam session where folks can get their licks in (which I enjoy a lot). Well done So since it's named a rap, are there any words that you have to go with it, or is this for a 'freestyle' gig? ttfn, Sherry

Re: So. . .Here's Some Mo'
Thank you Sherry, for your much needed reply. (I've Had people throw thing, and I wasn't playing music ) But, I'm grateful for any feedback I can get,Please elaborate on your comment "I play bass and so used the Staff/Transpose instrument key to get it up to readable".
Since I've had NO musical Scoring instruction. . .ever. . .I don't know what you mean when you say you've had to transpose the Bass. What is the correct Instrument Key signature for the bass? ...or any other instrument? I just write instrument parts until they sound right. . .I have no clue what Instrument KEY they should be in. I have heard of Sax and horns being in B-flat Key. . .but I've never used that notation before. Inquiring Minds Want to Know. Thanks for any response from you all. . .you'd be surprised how DUMB I really am. |

Re: So. . .Here's Some Mo'
Hi Jeffrey,
Quote:
Bass (and guitar) are both transposing instruments only because they both "sound" an octave below where their notation is written. So, for example, a bass sheet where there is a middle C written, when played on a bass or guitar, actually sounds at the C that is on the next to bottom space of the bass clef. If you want a musician to read their music from a file you come up with in Composer we have a feature for that You can see in Staff/Transpose that there are 2 types of transposition. The one we're talking about here is "Transpose...to each instrument's key".
So when I transposed the bass line for reading, I did the above to bring the notation up an octave to give the sheet that I would read and play. ttfn, Sherry
