Re: Software that shows the note on the music sheet when midi key is pressed

I don't know about that software but I have been using scan-score.com program. Well it works pretty good and the prices vary depending on what features you need.

Re: Your proudest musical moment of 2020

I have been considering obtaining an acoustic bass lately. Local stores sell only cheap crap, over priced name brand crap, and a few unaffordable (for me) nice instruments. So, I am compelled to buy online, doing research through this website . In researching what to get, I have decided on a number ...

Re: MuseScore 4

I'm pretty happy with Musescore and it's definitely a viable alternative to Sibelius or Finale for me. Like any complex program it takes time to learn, but the documentation is good and if I can't figure something out myself I can usually get the answer through a quick google search.

Re: Swimming Vs The Gym

It depends on what you do in the gym, and also on what your goals are. Swimming is a more efficient form of aerobic exercise (in terms of calories burned per hour) than many of the alternatives. But another important factor is what you enjoy doing. I'm looking for a decent shampoo here as my hair is...

Re: What have you been listening to?

Hey everyone, nothing like a lively music to start the day. Whether it’s just singing, dancing, having breakfast or doing your morning gym. Who remembers Dee-Lite? Maybe the elders, but probably not the teenagers. This is the opportunity to discover them. [media]https://youtu.be/etviGf1uWlg[/media] ...

Re: giving up alcohol

I consider myself to be a recovered alcoholic here (if there is such a notion as a former alcoholic). Alcohol should be made illegal. It ruined my family, actually I ruined my family with the help of alcohol. For all these who are planning to quit drinking, I highly recommend the book Drunkard by Ne...

Re: Roku

Personally, I have both Roku and Fire Stick TV. I have both, but I use the Fire Stick TV. No matter which stick or tv you use kodi apps. Kodi is great as a media center- there’s tons of addons for it, and it has great user interface options.

Re: giving up alcohol

I quit drinking for over a year. I have used CBD oil while withdrawing and it definitely helped curb my anxiety which triggered my drinking. I did clear my plan with my doctor, because CBD won’t (AFAIK) prevent seizures triggered by alcohol withdrawal. I needed to be sure that the amount of drinking...

Re: Perfect coffee beans and type

There are 2 factors at play that make it a bit difficult to know how to answer that tbh. 1) Generally speaking you want to grind the beans just before you use them as this will allow for the best flavour/etc. 2) A low quality grinder will not give you the best grind and hence not the best results. I...
