[Rosegarden-user] Something completely different
Last year a fellow soundcloud musician, RustyStringz, sent me an audio track of himself singing and playing guitar. He asked if I'd like to add anything to it. Well it wasn't until the Christmas break I actually had time to sit down an try to get into the 'zone'. Eventually things came together and here is a link to the final recording. https://soundcloud.com/soft-sounds/scarborough-fair-feat-rustysrtingz I loaded the audio into Rosegarden, then played against that going from keyboard to Rosegarden as MIDI and from there to Yoshimi building up a total of 4 MIDI tracks. The actual recording was made in one pass with Rosegarden's audio and Yoshimi being fed to Timemachine (a nice lightweight recorder). Final top-n-tail was done in Audacity. -- W J G -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot ___ Rosegarden-user mailing list Rosegarden-user@lists.sourceforge.net - use the link below to unsubscribe https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rosegarden-user

When I really think about it, the grid quantizer probably works better than I appreciate. It's just that the heuristic quantizer works much better, and I always go with the best result. It's specifically designed to get the best notation on the page for a typical human performance, and it looks for things humans do when they perform. That is the one thing separating Rosegarden from every other application on the planet, and it's just a back of napkin idea Chris had one day. He closed one eye, made some guesses, and took a stab at coming up with something. It has issues that have existed since the first day, and he never addressed any of them. The whole thing is only very slightly more refined than the first draft, as I recall. Even so, it's an absolutely brilliant first draft! That thing is truly the only reason I stuck with Rosegarden all these years. You can find everything else in several other packages, but only Rosegarden does this good of a job rendering human performances as legible notation; all while preserving the original human performance. It mostly fails on grace notes, slurs, and heavily legato playing. Plus of course when your timing is just way to hell and gone, like mine. I'm a heavy off-the-beat player, and consistently hit everything either ahead of or behind the mark. -- D.

Is this possible? I guess it would be helpful if you could share a non-quantized piece (or snipplet) so as to try various quantization options and maybe provide a more precise suggestion.
