. BY JOE GARRETT.. REVIE
WED BY FENDER TUCKER.. SEVERAL READER
S HAVE ASKED US TO.DO MORE REVIEWS ON LO
ADSTAR. OTHER.READERS WANT US TO BE MOR
E OBJECTIVE.AND DISSECT THE PROGRAMS AS
A."CONSUMER REPORT" PUBLICATION WOULD.DO
. BEFORE I BEGIN THE REVIEW OF.SONGSMIT
H (WHICH WILL BE OBJECTIVE),.LET ME EXPL
AIN THE LOADSTAR REVIEW.POLICY... POI
NT ONE: WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH.TIME TO CRI
TIQUE VERY MUCH SOFTWARE,.ESPECIALLY IF
WE DON'T USE IT IN OUR.DAY-TO-DAY FILE S
HUFFLING... POINT TWO: WE AREN'T OUT
TO KNOCK.A PIECE OF SOFTWARE, EVEN IF IT
.DESERVES IT. MAINLY, WE WANT TO TELL.Y
OU ABOUT SOMETHING THAT WE FIND.HELPFUL,
AND WILL MAKE YOUR C-64.EXPERIENCE MORE
PLEASANT... THOSE TWO POINTS SHOW WH
Y WE.DON'T HAVE MANY REVIEWS, AND THE ON
ES.WE DO HAVE ARE MUCH MORE POSITIVE.THA
N NEGATIVE... SONGSMITH WILL GET A FA
IR REVIEW.FROM ME BECAUSE IT'S A VERY US
EFUL.PROGRAM, ESPECIALLY IF YOU WANT TO.
INTERACT WITH LOADSTAR. IT'S OUR.SONGMA
KER PROGRAM.... FIRST, THE GOOD POINT
S OF.SONGSMITH...(1) IT'S THE EASIEST MU
SIC-MAKING. PROGRAM TO USE. REALLY..
.(2) THE DOCUMENTATION IS COMPLETE,.
BUT NOT COMPLICATED...(3) IT HAS A JUKEB
OX PROGRAM ON THE. DISK SO YOU CAN EA
SILY SHOW OFF. YOUR TUNES...(4) IT HA
S AN INTERRUPT-DRIVEN PLAYER. ROUTINE
THAT'S AVAILABLE TO. ANYONE, SO YOU
CAN USE YOUR MUSIC. IN BASIC PROGRAMS
VERY EASILY.... MANY OF THE PROFESSI
ONAL SONG-.MAKING PACKAGES FOR THE C-64
USE A.NON-STANDARD FORMAT FOR ENTERING.N
OTES. BY NON-STANDARD I MEAN THAT.THEY
DON'T USE THE TRADITIONAL STAFF.AND NOTE
S. SONGSMITH'S EDIT SCREEN.LOOKS JUST L
IKE SHEET MUSIC. THERE.ARE THE BASS AND
TREBLE CLEFS, WITH.THE NOTES AND THEIR
LITTLE TAILS.HANGING ON THEM... THIS
MEANS THAT MUSICIANS NEED.NOT LEARN A NE
W METHOD OF READING.MUSIC, AND NON-MUSIC
IANS CAN JUST.COPY SONGS FROM SHEET MUSI
C BY ROTE..THIS IS THE BEST THING ABOUT.
SONGSMITH.... DAVE MARQUIS, WHOSE SOU
SA AND.FRIEND JUKEBOX IS ON THIS ISSUE,
CAN.TRANSCRIBE A TUNE WITH SONGSMITH IN.
LESS THAN AN HOUR. WITH SID EDITOR.OR M
USIC STUDIO IT TAKES MUCH LONGER... H
ERE IS A QUICK LIST OF SOME OF.SONGSMITH
'S OTHER FEATURES...*ADD, COPY, MOVE, DE
LETE OR EDIT. WHOLE MEASURES AT A TIME..
.*HEAR ONE, TWO OR THREE VOICES AT A. TI
ME FOR EASY EDITING...*PLAY BACK A TUNE
FROM ANY MEASURE.....*FORMAT A MEASURE W
ITH ONE KEYPRESS.. THIS MEANS THAT YOU C
AN PLACE THE. NOTES ON THE STAFF PRETTY
MUCH. ANYWHERE YOU WANT. PRESSING F7 WI
LL. ALIGN THEM FOR YOU...*ADD NEW SOUNDS
TO THE NINETEEN. ALREADY SET FOR THE PR
OGRAM BY USING. THE HANDY "INSTRUMENT TO
OLHOUSE"...*CHANGE THE LOADING ADDRESS O
F THE. SONGS YOU WRITE. YOU CAN THEREFO
RE. HAVE SEVERAL SONGS STORED IN MEMORY.
AND PLAY THEM AS YOU WISH, RATHER. THAN
HAVE TO LOAD IN EACH NEW SONG. BEFORE P
LAYING IT..... OF COURSE THERE ARE DR
AWBACKS TO.SONGSMITH. IT TAKES UP A LOT
OF.MEMORY AND IS COMPILED. WHILE THERE
.IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT, IT IS.ALMOS
T IMPOSSIBLE TO ADD MORE.FEATURES TO THI
S PROGRAM WITHOUT A.MASSIVE REWRITING...
HERE IS A LIST OF THINGS YOU.CAN'T D
O WITH SONGSMITH...*NO FILTERING. YOU C
AN'T GET SOUND. EFFECTS THAT RELY ON A S
WEEPING. FILTER POINT.......*NO TRIPLETS
. SOME SONGS REQUIRE. THAT THREE NOTES
BE GIVEN THE. DURATION OF A QUARTER NOTE
. IT CAN. BE SIMULATED, BUT NOT PERFECT
LY, BY. SONGSMITH...*NO ODDBALL METERS.
IF YOUR SONG. ISN'T IN 2/4, 3/4, 4/4 OR
6/8 TIME,. YOU'LL HAVE TO FAKE IT...*YO
U MAY CHANGE INSTRUMENTS BEFORE. EACH ME
ASURE, BUT NOT DURING... DAVE SAYS TH
AT HE USES SID EDITOR.FOR MOST OF HIS "S
ERIOUS" MUSICMAKING,.WHICH MEANS LONG, C
OMPLEX PIECES DONE.FOR HIS OWN ENJOYMENT
AND.SATISFACTION... FOR MOST OF HIS
WORK, HOWEVER,.HE PREFERS SONGSMITH, BEC
AUSE IT'S SO.EASY TO ENTER THE NOTES AND
TWEAK.THEM. HE SAYS, "IF YOUR MUSIC.DO
ESN'T REQUIRE FILTERING OR.TRIPLETS, YOU
CAN'T BEAT SONGSMITH.".. WE AGREE.
