HI Mark,
I guess you could say that. I used that stuff for the next 25 years or so though, so I suppose you could say the memory only goes back about 28 years to when I stopped playing the sax (1978). I started to study piano in 1985 and my teacher was also a part of that same period. I now enter notes with the mouse a lot more than usual lately. Everything is first built with the keyboard. I often just run a few bars over and over until I get them almost perfect, then the cut and paste comes into play. The ear is still in pretty good shape and I don't find it difficult to enter the notes without even going to the piano sometimes. The solos are always done on the keyboard, however. Once I have the piano entered, the other tracks come from that. It's a ton of fun, but requires a whole lot of editing. Mark, I haven't found anything yet that can't be done with your software music wise. It's amazing! It took a while to get the hang of the editing, but I learn something new every day that helps to shorten the time. Composer is the reason I have finally gotten out of the meaningless rut I have been in the last 10 years. Thanks to you for all of that!!
Fred
