Reflow
Reflow is a software program that is designed to help musicians and composers write and store their own material. Reflow comes with several important features that make it a favorite of musicians. Guitarists can put chord diagrams in their scores by using Reflow's simple drag and drop feature. This allows them to see fingerings for chords as they play. Any composer can multitrack on Reflow, allowing for advanced and complex pieces of music to be written. Reflow also can analyze and reformat guitar tabs, which are another common way for guitarists to read music. Also, the drag and drop feature can be used to work on multiple individual parts of a song and then have them easily rearranged into a complete song.
- Reflow has a lightweight audio engine that you can use to play back the music that you have created while you work.
- This makes the process of composing much easier because you do not have to constantly stop to hear what you have.
- Reflow comes with several features geared specifically towards the guitar.
- You can use the drag and drop feature to include chord diagrams in your composition, or you can include music from a guitar tab in your composition.
- You can multitrack on Reflow, allowing for greater freedom with instrumentation.
- Reflow is a great program for guitarists, who can take advantage of the program's ability to utilize tabs and insert chord diagrams into a composition.
- Compositions that you create by using Reflow can be easily exported into several channels. This ensures that you will be able to share your music outside of the program or save it somewhere that you will be able to use it.
- Reflow comes with a lightweight audio engine that allows you to play your music as you work. Many similar programs require you to stop working and load your song up before listening to it.
- Reflow cannot make any suggestions for you when composing. For example, if you are composing in the key of C and are unsure of what chords fall into that key, Reflow will not be able to tell you.
- Trying to write with Reflow can be somewhat complicated if you do not already have an extensive knowledge of music theory or the ability to read sheet music.
- Reflow does not have handy features like chord diagrams or tab reading for any instruments other than guitar. Only guitarists can really take advantage of these features.
Reflow is one of the best composition software programs available. Even on mobile versions of it, you can multitrack your composition. This allows you to include multiple instruments at once on a composition, allowing for greater complexity in your music. The program is especially helpful for guitar players, who get to reap the benefits of several special features designed specifically for them. Many guitarists only know how to read tab and cannot read sheet music. This can make composition difficult, but Reflow allows you to enter a tab and have it come out as sheet music, opening composition to all guitarists. Guitarists can also insert chords diagrams into their compositions so that they can see how to play the chords in their song as they go about playing it.
