Great discussion and some great points from you and others on there. Sadly, it seems impossible to have a similar discussion on here without most of those people being blamed of being old fashioned.

Thanks Dave! That is a great group of comments. Conrad once said, "You're not writing for the cello, you're writing for someone who plays the cello." Thinking about how the part plays, how it lays on the instrument, where the person will breathe, etc. That is so important in how everything comes together. Every composer has their own style and preferred method of working, but in my personal experience things just come together much more fluently when I write by hand.

That's because most of the participants on that discussion are professional working musicians or filmmakers.

You're use of the term MIDI is improper here it
should be noted
you seem to have some familiarity with the basic process, David
but the terminology
used is improper for the context.

For example in the renaissance they would not have used these terms
as you have.

I'm not sure about the Pope Conrad … he
apparently also seems
to have some basic familiarity with music theorization but with
clear limits ... he is not a professional, and the overall discussion suffers from
the improper assignment of some
certain terms.

an astute attempt by all, but not quite right.

- Sirisjr was spot on in his earlier post.

Who is this fake Mike West, who just joined the board today and doesn't know who Conrad Pope is?

HAHAHA!

You're not serious, are you?

Conrad Pope is perhaps THE most respected orchestrator (and composer) in the film music business. "He is not a professional…"?

Thanks, your comments really gave me my first laugh today.

Indeed. I'm pretty sure they didn't have MIDI during the renaissance.

I have to point out that this Mike is not me.
Please don't confuse me with him, because I disagree with him very much.

Actually maybe it would be a nice gesture to maybe make a clearer distinction between our
names here, may I asked you to have some Initial or second name in your name here,
Mike West II

The star Trek analogy, Heath, is an astute attempt at
humour but clearly demonstrates you're
lack of understanding of how such an analogy should be
properly used. Clearly,
you seem to have some familiarity with the basic concept of humour,
but the analogy
used is improper for the context.

For example staying in your analogy, you can analyze
any post here, but languages
for example have some different standard aspects
other have not. Like the -ing ending words in english, we don't have
them in german. So when you apply the system of german
grammar to english texts, you 'll discover all those -ing words (beside other phenomena) and you 'll measure them as being wrong, or highly unusual.

So I'm not sure about the alternate Kirk analogy.

In any event ,irregardless, hopefully you realize the "Mike West" is not the persona
you believe him to be. Nor was he ever.

an astute attempt by all, but not quite right.

I hope this clarifies.

So who is this funny guy who creates fake accounts to make fun of me? Thanks that
I am that important that there is someone putting effort in doing a parody of it.
Flattering.
I have an idea who is it, but see no sense in that kind of playing.
