Hello Karen,

Built in notation would be ideal, but what you shared which has me interested is  a program that can notetate what  I sing.
If I was on Windows and didn't care about free software, the DAW I would use hands-down would be Reaper. It has notation built-in and is a full featured DAW with cross-platform support. I would recommend Ardour too, but it doesn't have notation support yet.

Finale has some form of voice to notation capabilities, maybe you can try a free version of that and see if it works for you, if you need to use auto-notation from your voice.

Sonic visuals?  if I am correct, what platform supports this tool?
Sonic-visualizer is what I mean. You can open audio files with and then enable a spectrogram view. From there, you can highlight fundamental frequencies to find out what notes they are. I use Sonic-visualizer for many different things, including this, and I believe there is a windows version.

Let me know if you have any other questions,

Hi Brandon,
Thanks for the energetic ideas.
As shared, i am not in Linux, as I have not found an inclusive for me way to use the platform. Built in notation would be ideal, but what you shared which has me interested is  a program that can notetate what  I sing.

Hello Karen,
I mean, I think you should just go for it. You could totally record your melodies, and then fill them in with a DAW of your choice. Then, take what you've written to a notation software.

If you're on Linux, maybe Muse or Rosegarden would work for you, as they have notation built-in. If you don't care about notation built-in, Ardour is a great DAW for recording and processing.

If you're looking for software that will notate for you based on what you've sang, I have to admit I don't know of a good one on Linux to do that. Sonic-visualizer can track pitch of frequencies, so maybe that's where I would start, but maybe someone else has a better solution. You could always go the old-fashioned way and just dictate what you've sang later, after you've recorded yourself and fleshed out the orchestration around your recording. It's also good practice and can be fun and give you unsuspecting results, which can be nice. :)

Let me know if I've answered your question,

Brandon Hale

 Hi imaginative folks,
 honestly, I do not have a direct Linux box itself, I use shells, because I  have yet to find an adaptive workable tool...but I suppose scripting is
 possible.
 That being said, an idea in another Windows environment may work as well.
 what I am wondering is this.
 How possible might it be to  use  your singing voice for composing?
 what I mean is to sing the parts into your software of choice, then
 using that software to first add the orchestrations, playback etc., then
 produce that music in printable form?
 The last task is less important for the moment.
 getting my pieces out of my head, and into  arranging and composing form
 is though.
 thoughts?
