Accompanease or InstrumentalEase

Qaedon · Accompanease or InstrumentalEase

I was just informed that this quesion does not belong in the "Once Upon A Mattress" forum, so I'm putting it here. I hope I have the right forum.

Have you ever heard of these programs? AccompanEase plays the piano parts of the accompaniment, and it also plays the melodic parts for each of the characters. You can turn down any character you want, even turn off the piano, and just listen to one character's melody.

InstrumentalEase claims to do the same thing, except for the orchestra. It plays all the instrumental parts, and you just subtract those parts that are already in your pit. Don't have a percussionist but have everything else? Just turn off all the instruments on the AccompanEase except the percussion part. You can also change pitch adn tempo.

Anyway, I got this information from R&H Theatricals when they sent me the license agreement.

There's a list of all the shows the program is available for.

We used it the other day in Mattress rehearsal. It's really useful and cool.

Having this program comes with advantages and disadvantages, of course. Both my coreographer and vocal director want it on DVD. That way, the actors can use it to rehearse while they're in the car, rather than in front of a computer. Unfortunately, the program needs to be run on a computer. So the actors need to be sitting in front of a computer to rehearse with it.

Easy solution, just record it to a cd, and you have it in your car. d'oh!

You can't record it to CD. The music requires the program itself to run. The program is there to edit the speed, pitch, etc. It's not music. It's the program.

you get a program that records the sounds that comes through your speakers. Not that hard to rip music from anything.

I'm only familiar with Rehearscore and Orchextra. Are those similar?

Anyway, I agree with BwyJuvenile...get yourself a software audio recorder that can be set to record directly from your system's audio card.

I used to use FruityLoops on my PC and a freeware audio recorder on my Mac. Good luck!
