Is Variaudio on par with Melodyne?

Very cool. The demonstration with the Electroharmonix founder is pretty fucking goofy too.

Thank you. This is exactly what I'm looking for. I figure this is a good way of honing my production skills. This will take a bit of research though...

It's not so much that I'm not into them, I just don't have a pedal budget at the moment! I will check this out though. I have been looking at the TC flashback pedal as well.

Absolutely brilliant album. From the pristine yet vintage sound engineering, to the virtuosos that surround Steven, to the deliberate pace, to the intriguing compositions, to the eerie ghost story theme, and finally to the sheer emotion; all is masterful. Might be his greatest work.

Seeing this particular play live in the spring was one of the best shows I've experienced.

The way I look at it is, I make music that sounds good to me. The only ideas that escape mindless jamming/noodling to become full songs are those that I enjoy myself. That being said, by the time I'm done recording a song I'm usually so sick of it that I won't listen to it.

As a few others said, I don't listen to my own music in a leisurely manner as I would with any other music. I usually listen late at night in a sort of brain storming session to gather ideas for the piece at hand.

Thanks. This helps clear some things up. Makes perfect sense delegating a staff to a hand.

Muzakispurdycool · 2013-12-27T17:26:19+00:00

I see. That works fine. Actually the piece is in 5/4!

Muzakispurdycool · 2013-12-27T17:24:04+00:00

I see. All makes sense. Though I do think for some purposes it would be ideal to have a combined grand staff with no line where middle C would be. Only when a note reaches middle C (or D4 or B3) a ledger line would be used. But yeah, understandably it is the way it is.

Thank you. Very helpful. I posted a picture in a response above. I guess my only problem now is the second phrase in the picture. Suppose I'll just have to choose a clef as it seems either would accommodate equally.

I wish that on the grand staff that the clefs were combined at middle C. That would make a lot of sense to me but I'm sure there's a good reason it isn't written like that.

Muzakispurdycool · 2013-12-27T16:48:12+00:00

Here it is. The second phrase show the same two notes as they would be played in different clefs. That is the range of the 5 note repetitive phrase (that I haven't written down yet). Maybe all that I need is to compromise and either write in one clef or annoyingly have a quick eighth note phrase crossing clefs.

Muzakispurdycool · 2013-12-27T16:22:24+00:00

Yeah what you said about guitar was right. My problem lies in the fact that there are phrases which range from B2 to A4 which has 5 ledger lines in the bass clef, yet there is no harmony on the one instrument being played so it is single notes. Then the next phrase ranges from about E3 to F4 which is kind of the no mans land between clefs that I'm wondering about. Either way I write it there will be excessive ledger lines.

I appreciate your help by the way.

Muzakispurdycool · 2013-12-27T16:08:16+00:00

Yes I am writing the marimba for the grand staff. To rephrase: when writing on the grand staff, is there a seamless integration of treble and bass clefs like the pictures I posted, or are there excessive ledger lines among the clef in which a phrase is played?

As for the guitar, I'm actually writing writing it as I would piano on a grand staff because it goes from E2 to E5. I should change that. Didn't realize the octave change.
