Flights Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 It is good for a free program, note entry is a bit clunky but once you get used to its foibles it's fine. Also the in built PDF export is a bit crap. You get much better results if you print to an external PDF generator.Gonna check this out tonight. I'm currently playing around with a few ideas for some new Cielo Rosso songs. We're doing some recording over the summer so I'll need to get some new chops for that.Genuinely excited to get into the studio and get some songs recorded. Looking like it will be the highlight of the summer this year. I've also been swotting up on my musical theory as I've gotten quite lazy over the past few years and I'm often finding myself saying "it's 5, 7 then 3" rather than saying "It's A, B, then G".

The Milner Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Notes are for piano players, you only need fret numbers to be a real guitar player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 I've started writing again for the first time since Cobra Kai split in 2010. So far, slow moody rock riffs in D minor. It's what I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyboy Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 I use Tuxguitar quite a bit, just to read the various GuitarPro etc. tab files one finds on the internet. The PDF exporter is unreliable, but if it creates a broken file trying again a couple of times generally works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Another +1 for tuxguitar. I've used it for grabbing midi files of trad tunes off thesession then it will automatically transcribe it into guitar tab. Back to the original topic - been recording vocals for a long gestating Causey Mounth version of Erin Go Bragh, struggling to get a vocal take I'm happy with. Also been mucking about with synth arrangements like every other ageing muso on here recently. Have it in my mind to build synthy post-rock tunes, but again because I'm a) busy and b) easily distracted it's taking a while to bring it together. Plus Das stuff as usual.

The Milner Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 I'm away to be working on learning a set of another band so i can fill in for them in two weeks time, all original music, and ill probably get one practise with the full band. Should be interesting!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaaakkkeee Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Tux guitar can open guitar pro tabs? That's useful. I like learning songs from guitar pro tabs. midi guitar eh. Everything's kind of went on hold for me. The hardcore band might still happen but people have swapped instruments. the emo thing has it's first proper practice on saturday after member changes. I'm also in a pop band that got a new drummer just before the guitarist went offshore. Oh and I'm also away to start playing bass in another band which might start jamming after download. Ace.

MarkDrummer Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 2 news songs to chuck into our set for our mini tour in August. One fast upbeat one and one slow and moody one. Played one of them on Saturday night at Downstairs and it seemed to go down well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) Cheers. It's not really a 'song' as such. Just riffs that go together, for a new band to build on. Edited June 24, 2013 by Joda Serk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stroopy121 Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 There's talk of me performing in some fringe shows so I'm busting out my acoustic and learning some shit for that. Also got a Needleman gig tomorrow and have some ideas for tunes floating about that I'm looking forward to bringing to the table. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) I've starting dabbling in droning, bass heavy, electronic music. I've never pieced together a "song" without an actual musical instrument before, so this is a first attempt. Just samples, VSTs, an ancient Roland drum machine and a metric buttload of distortion. My intention was to make something as disgusting as possible. Totally repetitious and practically unlistenable, but as I built it up, it started to sound more musical than I expected.https://soundcloud.com/usthemusthem/megacephala I also re-recorded an old DROSS song, just to give new fuzz pedals and feedback loopers a whirl, though I might add vocals, or at least some torturous scream samples to flesh it out, so it's not purely instrumental. https://soundcloud.com/usthemusthem/reign-in-mud I think I'll keep it for the same project. Disgusting heavy stuff. Some will be guitar based, Some of it won't. Edited August 26, 2013 by Joda Serk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
