i already know some basic elements of music tehory and I'd like to knwo some good places, guides, books, video whatever that can teach me how to be a better composer, the stuff i do now tends to sound too long and boring or repetive; also I currently use noteflight for composition any better places or software? Any commentary is appreciated
Any good ways to get started on Sup Forumssic composition?

Camden Garcia
git. gud.
Caleb Cruz
thanks I guess
Hunter Gomez
MuseScore is free and better than NoteFlight.

I've tried it but the thing is I don't really want to have to load so many samples for each insturment, Is it worth it thought to have the samples in your computer?
Nicholas Hernandez
half.com buy a theory and analysis book
do ear training exercises as well. Theory is useless if it stays on the paper
Brody White
if the stuff you're writing is too long/boring, that's because you're not physically playing it.
try writing something then actually playing a particular part on an instrument. Your body, mind, and hands will tell you when it's been too long and you need a change.
I've written my best sections out of boredom while playing.

can you recommend me any books?
Noah Reed
I don't know what you mean. I downloaded the application, so all of the samples are on my computer. And it is worth it, it's about as good as you can get without paying.

I'm just saying the program is too big for my shiity computer is all

thanks mate very much thanks
Easton Ross
Good luck. If you really like this, don't ever give up. I'm also studying music theory right now and I haven't stopped a single day to relax
Connor Robinson
Good luck this shit is quite hard haha but I'm making good progress
Alexander Long
Grab some notebook and write every important line down. When you're done with a chapter, read everything you wrote with a pencil in your hand and underline some key words to help you understand and memorize
Aaron Murphy
thanks m8 will do, where are you studying music theory? college or amateur/proffesional hobby?
Jacob Sanchez
My method
First understand that every song tells a story and is made of energy dynamics.
Then study movies/books structure and translate to your music ambitions.
Then learn how to move energy during the acts of your story (what does each instrument have to do to contribute?)
Cheers!
Isaac Evans
I'm studying at home with some of the books I just mentioned and some others that some music teachers that I know recommended me. You have everything you need in my first post, though
I'm doing exactly what I told you to do. Bought some notebooks and I'm writing everything down
Gavin Myers
thanks hopefully one day one of su will be rembered as a great composer (hopefully I doubt it though haha)
Joseph Gutierrez
nice m8 cheers as well

What matters is that you achieve your goals. "I want to make this kind of music. I want to understand everything about it and make my own".
Hudson Bennett
on another note do you actually publish your work or share in some way?
