How surprising you have a voice recorder in your portable phone! If you
are musician, you are the very person to take a look at it. When I was
a high school student, I had an experience to compose music for hobby.
At that time, there was a music sequencer which shaped like a lunch box.
I used to make some music with the heavy gadget. It had several music parts
of melody, accompany or rhythm and I had to type musical notes for each
part with its uneasy controller. However, once I managed to finish composing,
it was unforgettable and marvelous time for me to listen to my own music
with each note synchronized.
I hoped a little I could have the easier controller while was satisfied
with its function of synchronization for musical notes. From that experience,
I realized we always seek the easiest way not only for composing but for
everything. In the end, at the beginning of composing, I used to rely on
voice recorder or handwriting of music sheet even if it was the highest
technology at that time because they were much easier to save and I tended
to miss the precious tune in my mind handling the controller uneasily.
Nowadays, we can compose music with PC rather than this kind of specialized
gadget and many of convenient applications are available. My point of the
view may already be old anymore. So, Catch Questions would not compete
with the high technological things. Sorry, if you have some expectation
for Catch Questions’ ability to compose. I just wanted to review the role
of voice recorder and handwriting of music sheet which sometimes defeat
high technology even though many kinds of composing application with great
function continued to be created since the music sequencer. So, how about
your way to compose for now? You still use the traditional way of composing?
If your answer is Yes, I hope you to try Catch Questions!
Now, let me feature Catch Questions for composing purpose below. It may
look only a primitive voice recorder. However, it has the well function
as smartphone.
1. While shopping, at restaurant or on the way to home…
Have you ever experienced you came up with some beautiful tune when you
went out? Only if you had carried pen and music sheet, you could have saved
the tune. But now, you forget it forever. It is now said that people carry
phone more often than pen. If it is iPhone, how about carrying Catch Questions,
too? So, the first thing is an easy portability. You can hum to compose
your original music with Catch Questions when you are out. Your performance
with guitar for example could be saved with it at a studio, too.
2. Organizing file system
You may come up with your nice melody at first before intro part. It also
may be ending part at the beginning. But, don’t worry! Catch Questions
can change the order of your parts anytime. Catch Questions is composed
of two main items named Catch word and Question word. You can set your
music title as Catch word and the music part as Question word. And the
order of Question item you set can be changed while Question item has several
voice records. Just simply, you can see Catch Questions as a folder manager
of music file.
3. Picture could be music sheet!
When it comes to be a professional composers, they sometimes create their
music from getting some inspiration of a beautiful painting. If Catch Questions
is used in this way, I really appreciate it. However, most of people do
not have such a skillful technique. Actually, you can save some pictures
with your voice record on Catch Questions but this usage is very limited
to a few people with genius skill. So, I would like to recommend you to
use the picture to see your music sheet. Your hand writing can easily took
as the picture with your original music!
I appreciate if Catch Questions could support your masterpiece!
