Help with instruments & parts (I think?)
Posted: Sun Nov 17, 2019 5:11 am
You wanna talk "beginner"? I can't even read sheet music! So I need your help.
I have a bunch of music cues for the play we're doing at school and I want to record them using Selibius. Problem is, I don't know how to get all the right instruments to play!
I have each cue scanned into a separate file, now I need to tell Selibius which staff/notes are played by which instruments. Part of the problem is that some cues have different instruments for the treble and bass clefs, some are all the same instrument with the exception of one note being a different instrument, some are two different instruments playing the same notes at the same time.
I couldn't figure out how to set the instruments at the sheet music level, so I tried on the mixer. There I couldn't get it to do different instruments for each clef. Do I use different parts? Different voices? Different staffs/staves*?
*I've been able to figure a lot of the vocab and function of sheet music, but I'm still kind of stuck on staves and systems. Bars, staffs, keys, clefs, etc I'm fine with.
Thank you so very much for helping out a VERY beginning person! I'm much better with blocking and characterization than I am with music!
