SmartScore X Pro Edition Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)As a choir director and pianist, I use SmartScore almost every day in my work, mostly for transposing to accommodate the range of my singers. It has become sort of indispensable to me like my car or dishwasher. At first I was intimidated and met with some frustrations early on, but it didn't take long...

EastWest Ministry of Rock Virtual Instruments Collection Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)In the past, I would spend hours trying to make other guitar sample sets sound realistic. I tried some that sounded decent, but they were lacking the "oomph" of today's rock, and I still had to fight to keep them from sounding synthesized. Enter Ministry of Rock. Rythmn guitar? Instantly realistic chords...

MXL V67Q Stereo Condenser Microphone Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I bought this microphone to record piano music, chamber music and choral concerts. This is a serious professional microphone at a very reasonable price. It is stereo, and requires phantom power, which right away limits the devices you record on. You basically have to use pro equipment. It comes with...

RODE NT1000 Vocal Condenser Microphone Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I went shopping for a Rode NT1. Rode mics use superb capsules mounted in machined housings you could drive a truck over, and the NT1 is a great mic for male vocals. The guy at the store suggested the NT1000. I recorded myself on both, and there wasn't much difference, but the 1000 just sounded a little...

Sony ECM-MS957 Stereo Microphone with Rotating Mid Capsule Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I bought this mike for use with my minidisc recorders, mainly to record choral concerts at church and in other places. It has a nice stereo directionality and separation choices, but I advise you to watch your record levels or mike sensitivity setting because the sound levels tended to overload on loud...

Apple USB Translucent - BLUE Keyboard for Mac , iMac G3 , G4 and other Macintosh systems with USB port , M2452 , 97-Key Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)All of the keys work. However, using the item still takes some getting used to. The keys and the space bar have to be depressed with vigor. That causes multiple spaces along with multiple letters that have to be corrected which slows my typing. But since they damned near gave me the product I have no...

SmartScore X Midi Edition Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I bought this MIDI version (very unique software). It does one thing -- convert sheet / book music to MIDI format file. I then use the MIDI file in Band In A Box and that is why the SmartScore software shines in my book.It takes some self-learning. The documentation is terrible and written by a 3rd-grade...

Willis A Dozen a Day Mini Book Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)A Dozen a Day is great supplemental book for any piano student. I have almost all of my students using various levels of the series, and I find that it aids not only in developing technical skill, but also in reinforcing music reading skills. I can't say that it's entirely realistic to think that a typical...

Pyle-Pro PKST60 Folding Keyboard Bench (Double Braced, Adjustable Height) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I ended up sending this bench back. It definitely shouldn't be used on carpet, but that is the least of its issues. The holes were not drilled correctly, one of the screws was missing, and the seat never did fit correctly. Thankfully I kept the box and was able to send it back. Went for a more traditional...
