really cool pc program!

Post by flute_loop »

dudes! our band director showed us this really
neat computer program that can help anyone struggling w/ solo pieces, or
practically anything else you can think of... its called Smart Music
Studio...you can download the demo somewhere on the internet that comes with the
tuner and metronome (the metronome is nice too...all kinds of times (3+3+2 and
so on and off beats) BUT it gets better! it also comes w/ hundreds HUNDREDS of
solo pieces especially for flute (or any other instrument) and provides the
accompanyment (sp?) that you can adjust so that it is ultra sensitive and will
''play along'' with you. like if you slow down, it will slow down w/ you.
You can print out the solos if you don''t already have them and away you
go...it is really fun and easy! but it gets better--you can record yourself
playing with the accompanyment into a WAV file and then burn it on a cd....make
your own cd!! the only downside is that you need ot have a microphone if you
dont already have one...but you can buy cheap ones for like $10..it also has
this cool pedal thing that makes starting and stopping easier; specially for
us...its hard to click the mouse button and try to get set and come in on time
[:p] ok i was really excited when i saw this...it also didn''t require too
much PC power either b/c my band director was running it pretty well on his old
macinotsh. any thoughts?? [:sun:]
