SUMMARY:Modern Composers Toolbox: Using Digitized Instruments
DESCRIPTION:Presenting the SECOND 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 second webinar in his “Modern Composers Toolbox” series\, as he dives into the world of digital software for emerging composers! This second session is for composers interested in writing for instrumental groups and ensembles\, 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. Programs such as the Garritan Orchestras and ensembles\, or the BBC Symphony Orchestras bring your scores to life\, with a large collection of instrument libraries\, playback techniques\, and acoustic setups to suit your compositions. From intimate chamber groups to epic film scores\, you can capture your desired sound at your fingertips.  \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 instrumental music\, such as constructing a mockup recording.  \nFor any composer interested in learning more about writing instrumental music and the technology available\, you will not want to miss this exciting presentation by renowned choral composer\, D. Geoffrey Bell!
