All aspiring musicians face one serious problem - the lack of space for recording and arranging works. In view of the fact that at present the services of professional studios are quite expensive, you can use an affordable alternative - write the arrangement on your personal computer.
It is necessary
- - personal computer with Internet access;
- - midi keyboard;
- - synthesizer.
Instructions
Step 1
Before you start writing an arrangement, learn more about musical concepts such as "harmony", "melody", "rhythm" and "bass line". The arrangement, or rather its texture, will be formed from these basic elements. Remember: the main body of music or arrangement is called texture. In this case, the main part of the composition is invariably the melody. Harmony can be played with chords or string arpeggios.
Step 2
Pay attention to the rhythm of the composition: it plays an important role in the element of the musical texture. The echoes are also important. Backing is best done during long notes. It will look like this: the melody "freezes", and you prolong it with the help of an echo. Write the undervoice either above or below the melody. Also, use a different musical instrument when doing this. That is, in a piece of music, the line between the main composition and the subtle should be clearly traced.
Step 3
Download Sound Forge or another Audio and Midi editor and install this software on your computer. Carefully study the "annotation" for the software: it describes the secrets of editing musical compositions, their transposition, mixing and restoration. With the help of such programs, you can also learn how to record "backing tracks", without which you cannot do without when writing arrangements.
Step 4
You can also record an arrangement using a synthesizer, if you know how to play it. The functions of this tool can be learned using the instruction manual and the trial method.
