Songtrix Videos - What do you want to see?
Posted on 31-Mar-11 13:29Viewed 2174 times
With the ChordWizard Network relaunched, our next development focus is to produce a series of Demo Videos for Songtrix.
This has been requested by many people for a long time, so we are very happy to be finally starting this project.
Songtrix is very easy to use, but it is powerful, and quite unlike any other music composition software.
Video walkthoughs of common tasks will clearly highlight the capabilities of this creative workspace for both new and seasoned users.
We want to know what people would like to see covered by the videos so we can make them as helpful as possible.
Which areas of Songtrix are hard to understand?
Which creative tasks are hard to achieve?
Please post your thoughts and comments in this forum and and help set our priorities.

I would like to see song creation from beginning to end on at least an intermediate level. This way nothings left out.

Do you have a date for video release?

Hi Morris,
Thanks for the comments. We certainly will be showing all of the processes needed to create a complete song.
Not sure if it will all fit into one video, though, we like to keep them to about 5 minutes in length, so that people can navigate to the exact areas they are interested in.
Maybe we could do a full song in 5 minute segments though, so they can be viewed individually if you are interested only in printing or recording say, but still view them all in sequence if you want to get the entire story from start to end. How would that be?
In terms of release date, the video production project is one which has slipped many times already from our original target, as other projects such as rebuilding our websites and releasing the ChordWizard 2.5 version took priority.
The good news is that the videos are finally at the top of the priority list and will remain there until substantially done. I am optimistic that we will have some videos ready for release before the end of April, but will probably not complete the whole series until the end of May.
Given the demand for them, I expect we will release them in stages as they become available.
Any requests for specific areas that need to be covered will be most welcome and will help us to plan the series.

Thank you for your response. Having the song creation in sequence would be great. I look forward to the release for these videos. Your products are excellent. I actually stumbled upon chordwizard products looking for something else. It was a welcome find.

The software is superb and the videos really show just how great it is.I found the videos really sell the product as i would not have expected so much to learn of its capabilities.The compatibility of Songtrix in midi format to other sequencers has also turboed its excellent functions in my opinion.I have posted a few mentions about the software and midi and these would help someone following the same steps.Thx

First thought after a few weeks is:
a. How to configure/use/change the workspace, eg, which mode is best for this, why this mode is best for this. Also, in playback mode, why can't I go to edit from Pause (I need to select Stop before I can edit again)
b. I keep losing edits trying to use the repeat segment feature, can be tricky for novices, a bit more detail would be appreciated
c. Use cases for the Riff feature. Mission creep here as I would like to see an option between note input and chord input. Since both features are supported an option branch should be easy to implement.
Can't wait for my licence key!
Great stuff, thanks guys.
