Website Overview

This website contains original material and links to websites and other resources. All the topics covered are referenced here and the website replaces the usual powerpoint presentation with a format more adapted to a workshop involving audio, computers and video games. The following pages can be printed out (but why would you?). The site is adaptive and can be viewed on mobile devices, navigation by keyboard shortcuts is active (try ) and search is enabled.

Many great tutorials are available and due to the fast pace of the technological evolution it’s best to look for info on the latest updates. The first workshop is dedicated to give an overview of “Création musicale assistée par ordinateur” a barbaric name used to describe the whole digital music production chain.

Because all of the participant’s at the Dudelange workshop had prior music notation software experience I’ll focus on the most asked questions and refer as often as possible to the official documentation or a tutorial that I’ve found to be relevant.
