SUMMARY:Modern Composers Toolbox: Using Digitized Choir and Vocal Tools
DESCRIPTION:Presenting the FIRST of TWO FREE ONLINE ZOOM WEBINARS presented by CMC Prairie and D. Geoffrey Bell. You MUST register for this event via eventbrite (get tickets) to receive the ZOOM link. \nJoin CMC Associate Composer D. Geoffrey Bell for the first webinar in his “Modern Composers Toolbox” series\, as he dives into the world of digital software for emerging composers! This first session is catered to those with an interest in writing choral and vocal music\, showcasing the newest advances in music software\, capable of bringing both your music and lyrics to life. \nYou’ll be introduced to the variety of music-writing and typesetting programs available\, including Finale\, Sibelius\, Dorico\, MuseScore\, and NoteAbility Pro\, allowing you to transfer your ideas from paper directly onto a score. Next\, you’ll explore major players of music recording software\, including GarageBand\, Audacity\, and Reaper. For the digital audio workstation (DAW)-based composers (or anyone looking to gain familiarity with one)\, Geoffery will present Audio Units and VSTs\, such as KONTAKT\, and Musio\, including standalone players\, and their integration into your DAW. Finally\, you will delve into the latest technical revolution in music composition: digital instruments and voices. Gone are the days of the “ooh” and “ah” choirs of music-writing software; now\, programs such as Vocaloid and Cantai digitized choir will read your music and lyrics in real time\, creating a more realistic rendering of your scores. \nThere will be several demonstrations of different programs throughout\, including short audio samples\, and the pros and cons of each software. This webinar will expose composers to the many specific uses of technology in choral and vocal music-writing\, such as constructing a demo recording\, or creating guide audio tracks to help singers learn their parts. \nFor any composer interested in learning more about writing vocal music and the technology available\, you will not want to miss this exciting presentation by renowned choral composer\, D. Geoffrey Bell!
