Re: Interested in purchasing DP7 (the cross-grade). . .

MIDI Life Crisis - (The freakin' story of my life! LOL!) Thanks for the "head's up" regarding creating audio tracks along with the MIDI tracks. It seems like I've had to do this before for other sequencing programs. Don't remember which ones, though. Once I create my templets for DP7, thi...

Re: Interested in purchasing DP7 (the cross-grade). . .

I see that I have new terminology to learn. "Chunks" is one of them. (I don't have the software & manual yet so I can't . . . :rtfmmad: LOL! :lol: ) I've been reading (lurking) some of the threads and posts to this bulletin board. There were a number of times where many users of DP ref...

Re: Seeking recommendations for books on Midi-Orchestration

Re: Interested in purchasing DP7 (the cross-grade). . .

O. K. . . . went ahead and made the purchase from Sweetwater. I'm now a proud owner of DP7 (to be received via FedEx sometime early next week!) Also purchased a book on the "how to's" for creating convincing midi-based orchestrations. Still. . . would like to know any common issues one mig...

Interested in purchasing DP7 (the cross-grade). . .

Hello - I'm a long-time user of MOTU hardware. Purchased my first 2408 around the time when MOTU first released it. Have purchased many MOTU audio devices since them. Yes, I'm a happy MOTU fan! LOL! :) But I never purchased any of MOTU's software. In the past, I've used Cakewalk, Cubase and now Logi...

Re: Seeking recommendations for books on Midi-Orchestration

Midi-life Crisis - (Like your user ID! LOL) One of my weaker points is not having a large repertoire of orchestral music. I have a modest amount of jazz and progressive rock/jazz music, but not music recording of orchestras. This, obviously, will need to change. When I went to music college (30 yea...

Re: Seeking recommendations for books on Midi-Orchestration

FMiguelez - Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I guess I'm more interested in the sequencing/mixing (the production) aspect of creating a convincing sound of an orchestra using midi-based instrumental libraries. There are more than a few books that contain "MIDI orchestration" as part of...

Seeking recommendations for books on Midi-Orchestration

Hello - Just recently found this bulletin board. I've been a happy owner of MOTU products (audio devices) for a long time. They all work just fine, so I don't have a need (at present) to problem-solve any issues. :) I am, however, wanting to improve my midi-based orchestration skills. Although I bel...
