God.. Is there anyway I can get like an mp3 or something of this? It's soothing to the soul, and tranquil towards the mind. Man.. D: (I'm serious about the mp3 dude)

K.. What exactly is a timbre? I may just look it up to be honest, so no need to answer.

Yeah that's a good point. See! Saying that makes me want to use programs even less. And it also makes me wonder.. If, just maybe, one of our world's well known composers wrote a rhythm expecting it to sound one way and unexpectedly found out that it was NOT the right rhythm but thought it sounded quite AWESOME, so decided to stick with it. A genuine mistake.. Bah, if only.

Thanks a lot Ferret and Enigmus. I'm not familiar with notation programs if, by chance, you're referring to what Ferret recommended, which is Sibelius and Finale. But also I understand where you're coming from Lint, at least a bit. See, I honestly DON'T want to have to rely on music programs like that but I really don't see any other way in getting better. I have been listening to more classical pieces, because in all honesty, I technically don't. At least not music of the complexity as the ol' skool Bach, Mozart, and all the other great composers that I hear about. But anyway, I'm trying to broaden my repertoire of music as far as how advanced it is and reading the scores to get an idea of different rhythmic patterns. I'm doing it with music that composers have posted on this site as well. So I mean.. I don't want to have to rely on programs but I feel like I should. Kind of like I'll get better faster but you do have a good point. It's kind of like a crutch in a way and I don't want crutches. Yeah.. I hope that made sense. I typed it as I thought it. ;D

In my band class, we've recently taken on a project where we have to compose music for the instruments in our class. Well, albeit a pretty darn good sight-reader, for the love of me I can't seem to get some of the rhythms down. Of course I'll have them in my head but putting them on paper poses a problem, and I would hate to go to my band teacher and ask him to read what it is I've written every time I write something. Is there a software, online program, or anything, where you can I don't know.. some how put in a rhythm and it plays it back to let you hear what it sounds like? And not just that, any techniques, other than composing more music, that will strengthen my composing skills as a whole?
