Compose Music Using Computer Keyboard

Using a keyboard has numerous benefits that can improve your productivity and comfort. Firstly, typing on a keyboard is much faster and more efficient than writing by hand. This can save you a lot of time and allow you to get more work done in less time. Additionally, keyboards provide a more comfortable typing experience, as they are designed to reduce strain on your hands and wrists. This can help prevent injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome and make typing more enjoyable overall. Finally, keyboards offer a wide range of shortcuts and hotkeys that can help you navigate your computer more easily and quickly. Whether you're a student, professional, or casual user, there are many benefits to using a keyboard that can help you get the most out of your computer.

I love these headphones. I use them on my computer for gaming and for music. Using a creative labs dedicated sound card to power them they really have a good clean sound. The bass is there with some thump and the mids and highs are there without being blown out or over shadowed. I have a pair of Audio-technnica ATH-A550z and I think the Tascam have a better sound. The fit is not quite as sealing as I would like but everyone has a different head shape so I know one size fits all usually fits none. For the price I definitely recommend them.

At the lowest price I could find for a controller keyboard, the Korg nanoKey2 is very impressive. It only has twenty-five keys, but the octave shift buttons allow you to change the octave up and down, giving reach to the full range of notes for electronic music. It has neat pitch bend, sustain, and vibrato buttons, too. It resembles a computer keyboard in the flatness and shape of the keys and is even smaller than a computer keyboard. It works great with my electronic music software. It even picks up musical accent (velocity); so the harder you press the keys, the louder it is, and the softer you press the keys, the quieter it is. The only thing that would make it better is if it had sounds of its own. However, it serves its purpose as a Musical Instrument Digital Interface controller well. It comes with a software code so you can download some electronic music programs from the Internet; so if you do not have music software already, you can get some to use with the nanoKey2. The cable that it comes with stays in the socket very tightly and it will not fall out so easily. This is good so it will not disconnect on accident. Overall, the Korg nanoKey2 is a good buy for being able to listen to, experiment with, and record sounds in audio software without having to use the computer mouse and computer keyboard all the time to program commands and test out sounds. It is light-weight and its slim-line design is very convenient and saves space. It would be good for use with a laptop on the go. I find it a nice addition to my desktop home studio. It is perfect in function for its size. Very neat.

I use this to connect my portable music keyboard to a computer.It is nice and long so it have plenty of positioning range.It works great for using my keyboard with my music software.

I use these headphones every day to practice on my digital piano and also to compose new music. They have terrific sound quality, are lightweight and very comfortable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I compose music for motion picture advertising and needed something that would allow me to view more tracks on my screen and optionally a place for video up at the top. Works as advertised. Received Sweepstakes Entry for Review

I received my NEC monitor from B & H last week and it is helping my production immensely. I'm using it as a second monitor, next to my 26" NEC. I sometimes compose music and the vertical view is an added bonus with this monitor. Thank you to B & H for making it happen...Cheers, Billy Kemp

I am using these speakers on my home office desk (from Uplift Desk) where I do legal work and compose music for symphony orchestra and big band. The speakers work very well in playing back the music using Garritan sounds and Finale. I can clearly hear the individual instruments and locate the occasional wrong note.

Standalone or tethered to the computer- this thing is a beast. Compose full tracks. Great swing and drums always stand out from the mix.

I use this for my piano keyboard for music producing.
