Q.
A. If you are trying to play a song and get it transcribed to sheet music there are programs for that. Encore, Finally, Music Writer. You can find them in most music stores or on-line at places like www.musiciansfriends.com You will need a computer and a keyboard that is Midi capable. If you are trying to take a .wav or .mp3 and convert it I don't know of any.
If you are looking for chords there are tons of site like
http://www.olga.net/
http://www.tabwiki.com/index.php/Main_Page
http://www.alltabs.com/index.html
but they are mainly for guitar. If you are a good at improv on piano you can use it.
If you are trying to find a song in Piano score I would try google searching the title you are looking for and hope for the best. You can not copywrite a chord progression, however if you have the piano score you are now getting into copywrite laws.
Guitar vs Keyboard: Which is better to use when writing a song?
Q. I have started to write songs. I need music beat to go with my lyrics. I don't know how to play but I'm willing to learn. Which is better to use guitar or keyboard when writing songs? The songs I write are kinda like Evanescence's songs, depressing, sad, angry, etc...
What kind of guitar or keyboard is good for a beginner to buy?
A. On a piano you are able to play the melody, the chords, the rhythm and the BASs all at the same time. On guitar its either lead or rhythm, not both and no bass.
Pianos are two handed=music both hands, guitars are one handed= one hand holds the chord down and the other strums to make the sound.
Piano has the music for EVERY other instrument in the world (Beethoven used one to write all his symphonies at home and only heard it with the full orchestra on rehearsal nights and performances)
Any note a guitar can play, piano can, but guitar cannot play all the notes that a piano has.
THe best model keyboard to buy is anything fromthe YAMAHA PSR range, but you should not buy the cheapest model becaise it only has one speaker. The second model is perfect and you dont need to spend any more than that because fromthe thrid model up they just have things on there you'll never need/use.
If you want to learn both instruments start guitar about two years after you start piano. (I play both)
And ALL instruments will plug into your soundcard and record in WAV and then it gets CONVERTED to mp3.
MUSIC RECORDINGS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE IN WAV FORMAT PEOPLE. iTUNES WONT ACCEPT MP3s ONLY WAV!!!
All the best
