Tech Shop (PFG)

Here is the online part of the Tech Shop from the Phillips Family Gazette.

Current Issue Additions
I decided to start a “column” (if four columns can be counted as a column) on technology, mostly written by myself, which helps to give details on how to use current technology, usually the computer. (Please note all references to the computer are based on a Windows 7 operating system.) This issue’s main topic is composing a piece for instruments you don’t have and turning it into and MP3 file. The programs we will be using to perform these tasks are MuseScore, Synthfont, and Audacity.

All three programs are provided for free in their full versions by their owners.

Musescore can be downloaded from musescore.org.

Synthfont can be downloaded from download.cnet.com.

Audacity can be downloaded from audacity.soundforge.net.

Online Only
I'll put some things that are exclusive to the online forum here. Later.
