Josef Suk: Serenade for Strings Op 6 ua-cam.com/video/WtEQsOSVkbM/v-deo.htmlsi=nRXkiEGEEA7oc3KB But this isn't the version I'm using. Instead, I use a version from UA-cam's audio library. And I always use this piece for my explainer sessions lol.

@@musicjotter Many thanks.

Glad you enjoyed. I have a lot more flexibility with what I can do on this channel, now that I have "realistic playback". If I get some decent organ sounds, I can start notating some of Bach's organ works. Because Bach's counterpoint is absolutely stunning.

I would love to hear you talk about Bach’s counterpoint! I’ve heard much good about it, but I haven’t sought out how to get started.

No arguments here, there are plenty of amazing fugues by Bach. There's also a Mozart one of extreme caliber, which is, I hate to say it, much better than the one I just analyzed. But in order for me to analyze this without copyright issues, I have to notate it and record it myself. And in order to do this, I need to code in "trills" still, which is probably next on my list. This is the Mozart fugue that I can't stop listening to, which I may decide to notate down the line: Piano version: ua-cam.com/video/oNrM37AYxfc/v-deo.htmlsi=jGdMiHG5l9jYm4wV Orchestral version: ua-cam.com/video/DBQBNIK2Wcw/v-deo.htmlsi=oMtt1-u8QLIBYUvN&t=201 Both versions are excellent in their own way. The piano version offers more clarity of the notes. But the orchestral version is stunning due to the timbre of the strings.

Thanks! Maybe I should try composing a fugue now lol. Although I can't promise I can compose one 100% void of the parallel 5ths and octaves, at least, without consciously checking for them every so often!

@@musicjotter I love writing fugue. It may be difficult at the beginning, but if you get used to the counterpoint rules it may become the easiest one to write with since you have rules to follow!

Haha, never thought about it like that. I'm used to writing free-form works, but you are right. Writing in free-form has its downsides, because then as the composer, you have to come up with your own structure which is very time consuming. I can compare this with creating Music Jotter. Since I am creating the program from scratch (there is no template to follow), it takes me much more time to come up with the structure of the software, than the actual "coding part".

This applies to music of all types, I just demonstrated it with the piano. Ragtime music is known for syncopation. Awhile back I released a short on The Entertainer by Scott Joplin demonstrating this, but I felt the short was too confusing, so I deleted it. I will re-post it with a better explanation.

Thank you. This short is just trying to say that not everyone makes it overnight, and that's ok. Everyone runs at their own pace. I came into the UA-cam game at a much older time in my life, so I have to carefully learn how things work.

@musicjotter sure you can, and sure you will.

I appreciate it, every sub counts!

Thank you so much, and welcome aboard!

lol, the struggle of being a UA-camr is real. Especially since I'm coming at this with 0 video or media experience. But I'll keep trying for the sake of Music Jotter! Thanks for giving this a watch.

@@musicjotter Sure, man. Your shorts are always funny.

Next one will be dead serious to make up for it 😆. Reason is because humor won't help get the point across for this one since I'll be talking about "syncopation" again. I composed another new song last night just for this!

Thank you much!

Thank you! I won't lie and say "oh this was easy". This was probably the hardest thing I've never decided to do. I had no idea how difficult this journey would be lol. However, it really forces someone to improve on communication skills, getting to the point, and many other things (which by the way, I'm still working on).

Thank you so much! My goal is of course to bring Music Jotter into a more mature state. I want to develop this product as much as I can on my own. Not sure if I will ever raise money (I may not need to). But if I do decide to raise, I will have a much greater chance if the product is finished, and generating interest (which translates to sales). So far, we have 25 early access users who believe in this product and mission. I'm about 80% finished with the core features, but then I'd have to spend time working on bugs, and efficiency. I composed this a few days ago with the software if you are curious: ua-cam.com/users/shortswj3nfgw-SAY Even with all of the issues, this was such a positive experience because playback is so good. Playback is greatly underestimated with this type of software, and this alone makes the software worth looking into. If you are curious about our community on Facebook, you can get updates from me there as well: facebook.com/groups/musicjotter

I focus on the composition process. Flexible playback, and "ease of use" is what I feel makes this software very fun and enjoyable to use. I composed this prelude with Music Jotter in about 2 hours for a UA-cam short: ua-cam.com/users/shortswj3nfgw-SAY The output just sounds very good and I also can't compose this quickly and creatively with other software. Of course that's just me, but I am also an experienced composer. I am creating this new software because I want to start composing creatively again, and the existing software doesn't meet my personal needs or demands.

@@musicjotter Thanks for your reply, but you really didn't answer my questions.

I don't like to use the word "better". But what I can say is that playback is going to be a major competitive advantage. Another big competitive advantage is just how easy to use the software is. It's also web based (for now) which makes it highly accessible.

@@musicjotter So I'm guessing you haven't looked at the latest version of musescore then.

@@musicjotter it doesn't appear to be substantially different in principle from either musescore or sibelius, but the interface looks like it was for windows 95. If you could explain how you've somehow made the process of putting notes on the score somehow significantly easier or faster I'd appreciate it because on my cursory try of it I don't see it. Furthermore I'm not interested in software that runs on the web in a browser thanks, I want my work local and to be able to work offline.

lol, i noticed that too but already created the video. These are the exact reasons why I will be composing more often, to catch these errors. Despite the problems, this program allowed me to compose this in just about 2 hours. Not bad, as some of my more complex Ballades took me several months.

Thanks!

Watch my time signature video :-) Beaming rules are different, and my composition doesn't have the compound time signature beat structure (it's syncopated instead): ua-cam.com/video/yK7J1DOMC3Q/v-deo.html

Nope! This is Music Jotter (a program I am currently developing).

@@musicjotter wow it’s really amazing!

Hey, that means a lot, thank you. I'm basically creating this program based on what my needs "as a composer" are. My needs have never been met by what's currently on the market. And thus, I created this channel as a result.

Same exact midi file actually! The realistic playback uses a technique called "attack". This means we don't play all the notes "on the beat". Standard midi playback has that fake midi sound because no one is perfect, and we don't play every note "on the beat" in the real world. Of course, to emphasize realism, I am using Steinway piano sounds with Kontakt. But more authentic sounds don't always translate to realism with playback.

Make sure you subscribe, because for my 1000 sub special, my next video is going to talk about what this software is about (and channel). The short of it, this is a program called Music Jotter, and I'm the developer of this application.

@@musicjottermusescore? Or no?

Are you asking my opinion on the software? If so, it's a viable option that many people use and love. I'm simply offering a new perspective.

No tutorial needed, this is a built in feature of an application I am building, called Music Jotter. If you subscribe, my next video is going to talk to you about what this channel is all about! Hope to see you soon.

Honestly, I don't think I'd even be able to tell the difference. And this is just one aspect of making it sound realistic. I have other attributes to work on next!

😧, I think a follow-up short needs to be made. If I make one where we are in A minor, then can you hear the C major scale? Everyone will be saying, I only hear A minor lol.
