Music Creator 4

Yes, it will write the correct time/note in several ways--either with your midi keyboard or by clicking on half note, for instance, before you click on the note you want in the piano roll view or staff view. And if you want to change it later, just right-click on it and make it what you want. It's very easy to edit in that way. There is another program that might make the music LOOK better, but MC4 does a fine job if you're not too picky about the look of the final product. It's also great for audio recording, even though I don't use it for that. I think most do, though.

I think everyone will agree that there's a bit of a learning curve to get it up and running, but it's a great program. And this is a great forum for help when you need it!

Yes it does. And take it from us--do the tutorials first. It might save you a lot of posts on this forum!

I tried to dowload it, but the link doesn't work, only the box version. I would prefer to download it, but if I wait and get the box version does it come with a manual?

Thanks.

Nutty

Just to clarify - isn't the manual a pdf? not printed, IIRC.

Thanks for the replies.

I'm really anxious to try the program out, but unfortunately the link is still not working. Is there another site I can download it from? Or, ideally, is there a trial version? Since I couldn't get this program, I was considering moving up to Sonar Home Studio 6, but I can't find a link to download that one at all.

I'm so eager to get going and I can't get anywhere!

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!! I did send an e-mail for support, but it says it could be up to two business days before I hear anything.

Thanks again.

Nutty

for installation problems you can call SALES and they'll help you. but I don't think they're available on the weekends, either.

Hi Shawn,

Yes, I 'm pretty sure I want a copy; however, I was hoping to download it. Since I haven't had any luck, I'm trying out other programs that have a free trial version.

I don't know where you are but I am in Canada, so it would take a while to ship most likely.

Nutty

are you trying to download MC after paying for it or are you trying to download Sonar Trial version?

MY MUSIC CREATOR 4 installs when I open it, it always opens and it tells me it did not install properly and for me to reinstall with orginal cd I TRY AGIAN and still the same results I have the orginal cd and can't get it to work can anyone help me please I have a dell xps 420

I checked Best Buy, Future Shop and Staples online, but they don't carry it here.

I am trying to buy MC by downloading it. At soon as I check download, I get the error message. If I check buy the box version, the link works. I just wanted the the downloaded version to get it right away.

I just checked again and if I choose the United States or Worldwide (which includes Canada), I get "Page Not Found". I just tried Europe and that link works! $57 Euros - I assume that's the same as $34.99 USD. I know the CDN dollar is almost the same as the USD, but I'll have to check out the Eruos. I feel funny picking Europe, but maybe that's my only choice? Would you go with choosing Europe?

Thanks.

I don't think it's the same as USD/ I think you'll pay more that way and I would worry about it taking your money and still not getting the download. Personally, I'd really advise waiting until Monday morning and calling sales to get it resolved. I know you "want it now" - but I really wouldn't advise any thing else unless you just want to order the box version from cake or Musicians Friend or Sweetwater or somewhere like that.

Wow, that certainly solves my dilemma. 57 Euros is $92.00 Canadian. $35.00 USD is $35.25 Canadian. Guess I'm waiting until Monday. Why would they charge such difference? Just curious.

Nutty

tried that it already exist I just don't get why the cd won't install it goes thru the download process and then it won't work

Nutty, Music Creator is the only Cakewalk sequencer program available for download, the other programs (Home Studio, Sonar 7) are just too big to download. Most computer/office supply stores also carry MC.

Don't waste paper on it. Copy it to your desktop so that when you need it...you know where it's at.

As you work with MC4 you will need it less and less.....plus.....don't tell anybody here...many times, I'll just post the question here rather than look it up. Most often, I get a better, more accurate answer, faster.


BTW....Doesn't it open automatically when you click on the help tab at the top of the screen?
