Questions and Answers

As answered by people managing Chordsheet Maker and OpenMPT.

How would you describe your primary audience?

Chordsheet Maker's answer

Freelance musicians and bandleaders, either live or studio

What makes your product unique?

Chordsheet Maker's answer

Chordsheet Maker fits right in between the other players. Complete enough for mainstream use cases, but simple enough to be able to write a chart quickly and simply.

Why should a person choose your product over its competitors?

Chordsheet Maker's answer

Other apps are either too simple and lack contents, or not oriented towards lead sheets and chord sheets (making them very versatile, but bloated). Chordsheet Maker fits right in the middle of these.

  1. Been looking for that for a while!

    I’m a guitarist that’s mainly a “hired gun” and got to often get some charts down. This has been a delight to do with this app. Quite intuitive and user friendly. The developer also answer quickly to questions and comments.

  • need help finding these wav files.
    The bottom of the page says it's on The Mod Archive. What format is the song in? If it's still in its original modular format (as opposed to rendered to MP3 or WAV) you should be able to open it in OpenMPT and save the samples from there. Source: 11 months ago

    The software that is used to make the music is (likely) OpenMPT, which is a software I use quite often for making Tracker Music. Tracker music is a really fun form of music software to work with if you don't know how music notes work but do know how computers work. If you want an example of how Tracker Music sounds, check out Dues Ex's title theme, which was composed entirely with a older tracker. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Are there any DAWs with something similar to Audacity's "Audio Selection Sequencer 2" plugin?
    There is also a type of app that is more sophisticated than Audio Selection Sequencer2, but simpler than a typical DAW sequencer. The type of application that I'm thinking of is called a "Tracker". Music Trackers were very popular back in the '90's, but their popularity has declined considerably since DAWs became common on PCs. One of the few music trackers that still exists is OpenMPT https://openmpt.org/. Source: about 1 year ago
  • does anyone know of a good daw that replicates the snes sound chips?
    When making mockups I typically use OpenMPT. With the 8-tap Sinc Resampler: Kaizer Window Filter at 72%(?) bandwidth. Didn't test it extensively for accuracy but it outputs a warm sound not unlike the SNES, bass becomes "plastic" in a similar fashion. For echo I just use the default Direct X Audio Effects Echo plugin but it's inaccurate. Another thing with OpenMPT is it has a decent sample editor so you can work... Source: over 1 year ago
  • How did you get into microtonal?
    My music theory teacher mentioned that in the days before 12 equal that G# and Ab were not the same pitch. IIRC he said that G# was lower than Ab. That was enough to send me down the microtonal Alice in Wonderland rabbit hole once years later I got my hands on something that could let me explore tuning other than 12 equal - and that was a music tracker. This is one that survives to this day and now has native... Source: over 1 year ago
