Kubonakala sengathi kukhona ukungaqakatheki okukhulu phakathi kwe-hardware evulekile yomthombo kanye nabathandekayo be-software nabaculi be-amateur. Ngesikhathi abanye abaculi benza umculo usebenzisa i-test-and-true "ake sibone ukuthi yini leyo nkinobho eyenza" indlela, abambalwa benu bangase babe nesithakazelo ekuqambeni umculo ngendlela endala-ngokukhiqiza ngamadijithi amaphepha amaculo asekelwe ephepheni.
Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ubhala umculo wegitala, ukufunda indlela yokulungisa i-jazz solos noma ukubhala wonke amanqaku omculo, amathuba okuba enye yezingxenye zesofthiwe yomthombo ovulekile ehlongozwe lapha ingenza inqubo ibe lula kakhulu.
Isofthiwe ye-Generalized Music Notation
Uma unesithakazelo ekuhleleni, ekuqopheleni noma ekuguquleni umculo, lezi yizinsiza ezihle zokugcina ezisebenzayo.
I-Denemo uhlelo lokuqaphela umculo oluvumela ukuthi ufake umculo usebenzisa ikhibhodi yakho noma isilawuli se-MIDI noma ngokufaka imakrofoni ebhokisini lokudlala lekhompyutha yakho. Khona-ke, ungayilungisa usebenzisa igundane lakho. Ungasebenzisa impendulo ezwakalayo ukuze uzwe ukuthi ungenile, futhi uma usuqedile ukuvula, i-Denemo yenza amashidi omculo aphrintiwe futhi anokwabelana. Ngaphezu kokusekela izinsimbi ze-MIDI, i-Denomo ingenisa amafayela e-PDF ekubhaliseni, enza izivivinyo zomculo nemidlalo yabafundisi, isebenzisa i-LilyPond kumafayili ayo okukhipha, futhi ikuvumela ukuthi udale imisebenzi esebenzisa iSu. I-Denemo ikhishwa ngaphansi kwe-General Public License futhi iyatholakala ku-Linux, Microsoft Windows, naku-macOS.
I-LilyPond uhlelo lokuqopha umculo olwenza umculo wekhwalithi eliphezulu kakhulu. Ikuvumela ukuthi ufake umculo nombhalo ngokusebenzisa okokufaka kwe-ASCII, uhlanganisa umculo ku-LaTeX noma i-HTML, usebenza nge-OpenOffice, futhi ungahlanganiswa emavikini amaningana nama-platforms ebhulogi. Ingasetshenziselwa zonke izinhlobo zezitayela zomculo, kufaka phakathi umculo we-classic, ukuphawula okuyinkimbinkimbi, umculo wokuqala, umculo wamanje, umdwebo wesithombe, ama-graph Schenker nomculo wezwi. I-LilyPond ikhishwe ngaphansi kwe-General Public License futhi itholakala ku-Linux, Microsoft Windows, naku-MacOS.
I-MuseScore ingenye isofthiwe ye-music notation, kodwa lena inikeza izinketho zokwenza ngokwezifiso ezingaba nesithakazelo. Isibonelo, ungasetha isikolo sakho usebenzisa izifanekiso ezivamile, njenge-chamber orchestra, i-choir, i-concert band, i-jazz noma i-piano, noma ungaqala kusukela ekuqaleni. Ukwazi ukuthola inani elingenamkhawulo lamadonga, futhi ungabeka "isignesha yokuqala yokuqala, isignesha yesikhashana, isilinganiso samapayipi (anacrusis) kanye nenani lezinyathelo ezilinganisweni zakho." Ungaphinda ungenise umculo wakho noma ungene ngqo ku-MuseScore, futhi ungalawula ukubukeka kokugcina kokukwaziswa. I-MuseScore ikhishwa ngaphansi kwelayisensi ye-Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 futhi iyatholakala ku-Linux, i-Microsoft Windows, ne-macOS.
Isofthiwe ye-Guitar-Specific Notation
Uma ugxile ekurebeni umculo wegitala, izinhlelo ezilandelayo ze-software zenzelwe wena kuphela.
I-Chordii iyi-re-release ye-software ekuqaleni eyashicilelwe ekuqaleni kwawo-1990. Le software ikhiqiza ishidi lomculo ngezingoma namazwi avela efonini-isihloko, amagama, nomculo. Isebenzisa ifomethi ye-ChordPro yokungenisa, futhi isekela, phakathi kwezinye izinto, izinsika eziningi, inkomba yezingoma, amafonti okulungisekayo, nokumaketha kwe-chorus. I-Chordii ikhishwe ngaphansi kwe-General Public License futhi iyatholakala ku-Linux, Microsoft Windows, naku-MacOS.
I-Impro-Visor : Ekudalwe ekuqaleni ukusiza abaculi abavuthiwe bafunde indlela yokuthuthukisa i-solos kumculo we-jazz, Ukuthuthukiswa Okuthuthukisiwe kunwetshiwe ukuze kufaka izitayela ezingaphezu kuka-50 zomculo. Ngokusho kwewebhusayithi, "Inhloso ukuthuthukisa ukuqonda okwakhiwa kwe-solo kanye nezinguquko ze-chord," futhi uhlu lwamagugu luhlanganisa umbala wokuzenzekelayo wokuzenzekelayo, umhleli wendlela "yomgwaqo", izinhlahlandlela zokukhetha izinhlamvu ze-harmonic, ukudlala okuzwakalayo, ne-MIDI kanye Ukuthumela kwe-MusicXML. I-Impro-Visor ikhishwe ngaphansi kwe-General Public License futhi iyatholakala ku-Linux, Microsoft Windows, naku-MacOS.
I-Software Theory Software
Uma usayifunda mayelana ne-theory yomculo, kukhona isiqephu se-software yomthombo ovulekile ongasiza ngakho.
I-phonascus yenzelwe ukusiza abafundi bomculo bafunde ukufunda umculo, ukuthuthukisa ukuqashelwa kwe-aural, nokufunda izingoma zomculo kanye nezilimi eziyisisekelo. Isibonelo, isofthiwe ihlanganisa ukuzivocavoca kwe-aural customizable okuhlanganisa ukuhlukaniswa kwezikhathi, amanothi, amathrekhi, izilinganiso, i-cadence, ne-tonality kanye nezenzo zomculo we-theory ezihlanganisa amashicileli angokhiye wokwakha, izinkomba zokufunda, nokwakhiwa nezikhathi zokupela isipelingi. I-phonascus ikhishwa ngaphansi kwe-General Public License futhi itholakala ku-Linux ne-Microsoft Windows.
Ngakho, ngesikhathi esizayo ukhetha ukuzithokozisa okusha noma unquma ukugxila ekubhaliwe komculo, umphakathi womthombo ovulekile ulungele ukusiza ngesofthiwe esithile samahhala ... nje ungakhohlwa ukufaka isandla ku-Bach (uyazi ukuthi kwakufanele kwenziwe).
