- Finale Songwriter
I've found this product easy to use and was more than worth the price I paid for it. I'm impressed with the ease of transposing my music into what ever key I wish to use.

The only problem I've had is being able to access this on my 2 computers. I have a computer in my studio that I would like to use sometime, but I would have to buy a second copy, even though I am the only user. I will buy a second copy because I believe it's worth it.

- One Stop Music Transcription for Songwriters
Are you a songwriter who wants to write notes for your melody, add some lyrics, hear the song played back, print it and save it as an mp3 for easy sharing on the web? If so, with this tool your search has ended. Excellent tutorial videos and help included. Many operations are intuitive just by reading the text in the upper part of the screen.

- Where are the grace notes?
For the most part Finale Songwriter was very good. The computerized instruments that allowed me to hear my music before I printed it was great. It was not completely the same as a real musician, but I know that will never be possible. The note placing on the staff was so easy and allowed me to write chords so much faster than by hand. Many of the advanced techniques that I wanted to use such as grace notes were not there. I expected all Finale products to have these features. I was severely disappointed when I found that these features were missing. It is very frustrating to me to purchase Finale Songwriter just to find out that I need to purchase the more advanced, more expensive Finale.

- Easy Writer
Writing music is so easy with Finale Songwriter software. I wish I'd found it sooner. Thank you Finale.

- Sure beats transcribing by hand - simple to use (relatively)
Speaking as an amateur musician who takes songwriting very seriously - Finale SW writes my charts flawlessly. The interface for manually editing is simple to use, albeit time consuming. I mention this not as a fault of the software but as a warning that if you play your midi device as I do, not well, there is a lot of manual editing after.

I do most of my stuff on this using the manual entry features. I get faster with practice and the charts it produces are beautiful.

I've tried many programs and this is by far the best I've used.

An additional benefit I'm sure not intended by Finale; My keyboard skills are beginning to improve as I try playing more acurately thus reducing the time spent correcting.

Bootcamp & Conference: BlogOn Half-Full

Ted Shelton: "Frankly I felt that BlogOn was a waste of time and money."

I think the BlogOn conference was overproduced. In the name of professionalism the organizing firm turned off potential speakers, oversubscribed sponsors, etc.

I would have liked a debatable topic (aside from *blogging = journalism*. Two people slugging it out. Or a devil's advocate taking challenges from the floor.

I would have liked more hard numbers. Facts. Charts. Diagrams. We have the analytic tools to BS-check them; harder on vague opinions and single-points-of-observation.

I found it disturbing how much money was being commanded (from both attendees and sponsors) for a conference at a university. Maybe it was because it was at Berkeley? Maybe we should have taken over a community college or a Cal State or a DeVry. The facilities costs would have been cheaper at least. I heard an organizer apologize and say the next one would be at a hotel, like that would have been better.

Cost wasn't the whole problem. We're at a stage where early adopters are meeting folks who want to leap the chasm. Huge gaps in knowledge, experience, context, culture, vocabulary. It's the gap.

There are huge ideas to be explored, even in the world of applying blogs to media strategy and the enterprise. And most of the big ideas weren't even on the agenda at BlogOn. Probably because it was catering to those who want to commercialize, fund, and otherwise exploit (excuse me, "get in on") the emerging medium.

Let's fork these conferences so advanced topics on business and technology and culture fit the participants.
