I was hoping to produce the same kind of graph you made, but for other files, but I guess that's not in the cards. Oh wait! Elemental audio has a free one: http://www.elementalaudio.com/products/inspector/ I just took a look, and they have Windows version, too! They just came up with InspectorXL a few weeks ago, and they are quite accurate as I demoed, while they don't have as many features as SpectraFoo and Smaart that most of us, studio engineers and FOH engineers needs. Well, turns out that doesn't do me any good, as I don't have an AU- compatible host application to run it in -- I need something that's a standalone application, instead of a plugin.

Re: [Finale] Re: TAN: Brain music
Not only is it scientific. It's in fact very old and legit. Hinduism and Eastern medicine believe we all resonate at certain frequencies and respond to frequencies as well. Think of a note shattering a glass. Our molecules react the same way. Music therapy works in quite this way. What they basically did is suggest a musical alignment of the brain patterns. Notice the word pattern can be musical. Or more so you've heard of circadian rhythms. We a re in fact musical in nature and when we get sick, have insomnia, etc. our rhythms become out of balance. Music can align it. This about the flower test where it was played heavy metal and the flower died and then it was played Mozart and it flourished. There has also been a study of analyzing DNA mathematically and transforming it in to music. Supposedly listening to this allows a realignment of the DNA by your body wanting to mimic these tones and rhythms. Theoretically our bodies search for a constant. Now on a purely emotional level. Have you ever been so touched by a piece of music it made you cry? That's the power of sound and tonality. -A on 8/1/05 2:58 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: If anybody would like to weigh in on whether they think this is science or crackpottery, I'd be interested.

There got to be a distinction between acoustic and electric jazz violin as you can't say jazz guitar without defining electric and nylon, right? Wait add to that Selmer style and acoustic archtop type guitars as well. Acoustic jazz is coming back in to style along with jazz violin. It's the whole Gypsy Jazz craze that is fueling it. The other jazz related crazes are ukulele and steel guitar. This is pre-bop older jazz stuff but, that's the same fuel that is bringing back Grapelli style violin.

Well, I think the soprano saxes are ok, as there are differences in tone, but who even owns a C-melody now? I've played in many, many pro jazz bands, and I've never seen doubles on C-Melody, bass, contrabass, and subcontra. The only thing I've ever seen SOME of those on was a production of West Side Story, where there is actually a Bb Bass saxophone part. We all agree that bass clarinet is an absolute necessity, and so I'm VERY VERY grateful that Chuck was able to pull some strings to make that happen. But I can think of several instruments that would make more sense for this library than, say, subcontrabass saxophone. None of them are absolutely glaring omissions like the bass clarinet was, but I'd certainly be willing to forgo all of the rare saxophones (even sopranino, a personal favorite of mine) in exchange for any of the following: a mallet kit (it currently has only sticks and brushes) modern electric guitar with chorus and volume pedal acoustic guitar Hammond organ solo voice (oohs and aahs) French horn tuba solo violin (jazz player) accordion oboe/English horn I'd say Tuba, French Horn, Fender Rhodes, Mallets, acoustic/electric guitar. Honestly, there are Hammond Organ programs out there. I don't think we really need it, and I think it's more common in a Jazz Band setting to have a Fender Rhodes than a B3. Jazz violin? Solo Voice? I think the library needs to cover the basics. Trumpets with all the mutes. Saxophones (soprano, alto, tenor, bari), and saxophone doubles (piccolo, flute, alto flute, Bb Clarinet, Bb Bass Clarinet), trombones with all the mutes, Tuba, standard jazz drum set, a good acoustic piano, a good fender rhodes, an acoustic guitar, an electric guitar, acoustic and electric bass, and vibes. I think all the other stuff is not really necessary. The model should be Jazz Bands. Think Toshiko, Buddy Rich, Gordon Goodwin, Bob Florance, and perhaps Stan Kenton. ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

Re: [Finale] Pedal steel guitar simulation
I'm trying to simulate a pedal steel guitar in a Finale file. I tried loading a MIDI file with pedal steel in it, but what loaded into Finale sounded like garbage. Specifically, the notes were all choppy and didn't slur together the way a pedal steel guitar's does. Can anyone give me pointers on how to duplicate this sound, or does anyone have any samples of pedal steel simulation in a Finale (.mus) file I can view? Thanks, --Lynn Sorry to say as a steel player I have to break the news that it's nearlyn impossible. I've tried and even with a sample of steel it's very excruciating and still sounds weak. Finale also is limited in MIDI capbilities to reproduce what I do on a steel. One of the rpoblems is all the variables of when the steel fades in, slides and a multitude of other stuff. Slide guitar by the way is no substitute either. Sorry :( -Adriel ___ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

Define a Staff Style (from the Staff Tool) that has the desired transposition; e.g. M2 up for a clarinet. Call the style Clarinet, and then apply it to the section of the staff during which the player is directed to play the clarinet.
