Hello:
I'm seeking to learn more about the following, and I can't seem to get a direct answer about a lot of this online. The bottom line is that I'm working with a composer who's never used a computer to record his music (and he loves Mac OS X big-time) for my film. Yes, I'm an independent filmmaker with no distribution deal yet, so money is unfortunately a serious consideration. 1. What is the most cost-efficient and straightforward way of recording music from his Yamaha DX7s via an Edirol UM-1 MIDI-to-USB adapter? The composer is something of a Luddite in the sense that he doesn't want to muck around too much. Intuem seems like a good choice, BUT seeing posts by other folks detailing their problems with this program and their customer service on this site has given me pause. Basically, he wants to plug in his Yamaha into his OS X 10.2, play, and record, which my sound editor would then copy and manipulate in the film itself. 2. That said, what would be a good sound- and music-editing program (OS X) that would enable my sound editor to manipulate the MIDI sound files and integrate the music into the film's soundtrack? He is using Final Cut Pro 3.0.2 for OS X. Any input and advice on this matter would be most appreciated!

Hey Ray- if you want to go into the film industry with that attitude your not going to get very far. This pattern of criticizing others for trying to help you out-- that isn't gonna work. Chances are you could be much more prone to sitting down 10 years from now and wondering what the hell went wrong with your life.
just a friendly reminder!  p.s. I am a composer myself. This sort of crap doesn't just come to you on a silver platter. I've tried to sequence efficiently for about a year now, with no avail. It takes time. Some get it in the first week, some don't. My advice is to NOT buy Intuem. Atleast, now with a Roland keyboard. But it might work on your friendly composers. Too expensive still? Try Jasmine 1.0 ( LOL ) It's free. - jeffffff4ro
