Music Compositional Methods

 

Welcome to my series on music compositional methods.  I've always been a big fan of spontaneous music creation.  This is the new process using Steinberg CUBASE 12:

  •   Improvise with a Stratocaster and voice 
  •   Creating a CHORD TRACK (guitar audio converted to chord symbols)
  •   Convert CHORD TRACK to MIDI and edit chord lengths   
  •   Convert voice audio to MIDI 
  •   Edit voice MIDI using standard music notation
  •   Select instrumentation for CHORD TRACK MIDI
  •   Select instrumentation for voice MIDI
  •   Resolve final audio MIX requirements (EQ, Volume, etc.)
  •   Import Video and synch with production files 
  •   OUTPUT Audio File and Video File
  •   Correct Video orientation (landscape to portrait)
Thus, with one pass, a song is created.  The time to do the above edits and processing is approximately 1-2 hours.  

Here's the final product (video with studio grade audio) link on YOUTUBE

Burr Oak State Park and Marietta Ohio with Soundtrack: Dreaming of You

 Tranquil images and iPhone movies of a local state park at the end of the "leaf changing" fall season. The video also includes a few images of an Ohio river city.  The dance groove in this track is very compelling!  Dreaming of You, originally in the unreleased Stratman Unplugged series written in 2020, was initially called Strat Solo No 2. #statocaster #fender #BurrOakStatePark #Marietta #music #dance #musicians #musica #musicislife #musiciansofinstagram #martinguitars #practicemakesperfect #acousticmusic #livemusic #guitarsofinstagram #guitarsarebetter #guitarplayer #guitarist #guitars #guitarsolo #guitar Burr Oak State Park Video on YouTube
