Yeah... I just record what I play. Faster and more organic sounding that painting notes for me.
Any DAW piano roll is sufficient for my minimal editing needs.
Guilty? Believe me, most - if not all - of us mouse clickers envy you! Even if I'd come up with some good riff or chord progression while fooling around on a MIDI controller, I'll loose half of it trying to click that in into the piano roll
I would not like to give the impression that I am a good musician at any of the instruments I play. I am self taught, and it shows, just adequate enough to get by. I learnt basic guitar in my teenage years, all the basic chords. Strangely, the hardest instrument to learn to play was the violin, but it has somehow improved my playing on other instruments.antic604 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 23, 2022 10:05 amGuilty?

That's why retrospective MIDI recording is a blessing, but neither Bitwig nor Reason have it and Studio One's implementation is just very unintelligent.
I just had a little go at playing that song, and keeping that left bass hand playing in sync is going to take some practice. I am not sure if its needed though, as it seems to just repeat many times and could be assigned to its own track leaving just the melody to play on another one. Of course, if you were performing it live, that would be another thing.xbitz wrote: ↑Sun Jan 23, 2022 10:33 am ^^^ I've bought the sheet from her and it has been my daily rage game till I was able to play it fully took 3 or 4 weeks

it was my first piece where I have had to move my hands in fully async mode still remember it at least the left is playing in loop mode
(I've learned from Alfred's Basic Adult Piano Course https://www.amazon.com/Alfreds-Basic-Ad ... 882846167/ it was borning as hell but at least went step by step and all the songs can be found on youtube)
Between full time job, 3 kids and other stuff I barely have any time for music. But indeed, I should try to set my priorities differently and finally learn to play some instrument... Perhaps I should cut my time here & on other forums - all would benefit from that
Sounds like you already have your priorities in the right order. Family should always comes first. Anyways, I expect your children will soon be bringing home instruments from school and will need help. The dreaded recorder and screechy violin.antic604 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 23, 2022 7:48 pmBetween full time job, 3 kids and other stuff I barely have any time for music.

As someone who started out in music using trackers, I can confirm that music trackers' note editing view and modern DAWs' piano roll views are direct equivalents. Imagine trying to use a tracker without a decent note editing view. Frustrating!
I beg to differ
How does any of that, counter what I originally stated?antic604 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 24, 2022 11:41 amI beg to differ
Tracker's editors were built with PC keyboard input in mind, so things like note's pitch, volume, length and effects - simple, or pretty complex like in Reoise - are available without ever lifting your hands from the keyboard. I could basically input the riff or melody as fast as I could hum it.
Piano roll is built for mouse editing, so regardless whether you'd paint the notes in or record them live from MIDI controller, any editing requires using a mouse to change the operation mode. Even Ableton's step-edit mode, which is the best of any DAW I'm aware of, is still a far cry from the speed and convenience of average tracker editor.
Frankly, I'd kill for a VST with tracker-inspired MIDI pattern editor. Like Redux, but with MIDI output.
Because they aren't "equivalent" to me - tracker editor is faster and covers many more features.
