Audio tracks in EZkeys to make songwriting easy

[Stephan Katmarian]

If there was a way to record an audio track directly into ezkeys (i.e. vocals), that would be one monster of a songwriting tool.  Put in the chords etc, then sign the words over top.  I’m sure would be very popular, and would just be an amazing songwriting tool.  Probably a whole product category in and of itself.

It is possible to do what you want if you use EZKeys within a DAW that includes notation and scoring. Several DAWs, such as Logic Pro, include the ability to add lyrics in their notation window. After composing your piece in EZKeys you would drag the MIDI to a DAW track and then open it in the notation window.

Your reply may get me closer to a goal I have sought for years….  Once I have a completed EZ Keys track, is there a way to put the midi performance into notation software (Sibelius, MuseScore, Finale, etc) so that it will produce immediately accurate and legible music that I can give to a human keyboardist?  Currently, I export EZ keys’ midi and then import it (as midi) into notation software–but most often it is horribly mangled, or puts the left/right hands on one staff, or ignores pedals and dynamics, etc.  I end up doing so much editing that it becomes a herculean chore.

I guess what I’m hoping for is that eventually EZ Keys (and other songwriting tools) would make this process more seamless.

I should also note that my DAW is somewhat outdated and its notation capabilities are on the primitive side.

Perhaps what I’m after is a suggested feature from ToonTrack; could you point me in the direction of a place to request this?

Thanks!
