[@TyLo-di5ih]

I don't normally listen to rag but this was really good

[@Musicshaun]

Ty-rex thank you!

[@TyLo-di5ih]

Shaun Choo do you have a recommended process for composing? like is there anything you do to help develop themes and ideas

[@Musicshaun]

Ty-rex not really, but I always start from a melody (theme) I created and like, and go from there based on the style of the melody ;)

[@Michevangelo03]

This sounds to me more like Jazz with ragtime execution.

[@Musicshaun]

Haha that is one way to put it ;) I like fusing styles together haha...

[@Michevangelo03]

@@Musicshaun Yeah it is quite interesting.

[@Musicshaun]

[@southernpianist6020]

It sounds like it would have been written in the early 1900's... good job!

[@Musicshaun]

Wyatt Watts the ragtime era eh? haha thanks!

[@davidgiumenti6957]

That's just what I thought too and modern as well

This is incredible!!!

[@Musicshaun]

Angelo Zummo thank you!

[@PiotrBarcz]

If I'm not mistaken, this performance was actually transcribed by pianoREADER and he synced his midi with the audio perfectly! I actually transcribed this for myself, it's going to be public in the next month or so :D Nice job, you've got a talent for a nice touch on the piano and I hope you use that to compose some more rags! Keep it up :)

[@Musicshaun]

Thanks for the compliment!

[@BlackMasterJoe89]

You wrote this?? Seriously?! Oh man, you'd be best friends with Scott Joplin had you been born during his time! No joke! Oh, and do you have the sheet music? I'd love to learn your creation!

[@Musicshaun]

BlackMasterJoe89 hahaha thanks! Yes, of course you may have the sheet music, it's available for download on my website musicshaun.com ;)

[@PiotrBarcz]

Can I get a midi file of this? I don't have any way to pay for it...

[@Musicshaun]

Hi, sorry I can only offer you the option to buy the score on my website www.musicshaun.com if you are keen to play it yourself. Thank you!

[@PiotrBarcz]

@@Musicshaun Ok thanks, keep up the good work!

[@Musicshaun]

deokhwa hong thks for your support!

[@FUNGFUNGSIUFUNG]

Which velocity curve do you use?

[@Musicshaun]

I tweaked my own ;)

[@MusclePianist]

if you use garritan and ravenscroft which you prefer? I use ravenscroft but garritan has awesome low keys, which is better in you opinion?

[@Musicshaun]

MusclePianist they are both equally awesome vsts in my opinion, the Garritan used to be at a disadvantage coz of the lack of half-pedalling and re-pedalling samples, but they came out with a patch that added that, among other features, so I'm satisfied now ;) the Yamaha CFX has awesome bass indeed!

[@MusclePianist]

So do You recommend garritan with path more than ravenscroft ?

[@Musicshaun]

MusclePianist well as of this moment i use it more coz it feels more natural (touch sensitivity wise) when paired with the Kawai VPC1 keyboard. Yeah, you can't go wrong with either but I like the sonority of the CFX ;)

[@MusclePianist]

It sound really good, I wanted to buy it before ravenscroft but without repedaling so I chose ravenscroft, now when it has all what good vst should have I am really interested about it. And this basses

[@Musicshaun]

MusclePianist exactly! I bought it before Ravenscroft then laid it aside after I found out it didn't have those features. until a friend recently told me a patch came out and I was like "YES! I didn't buy it for nothing haha"

[@hazelsmith5912]

can i get hold of the sheet music?

[@Musicshaun]

Hazel Smith sure thing! it's available on my website www.musicshaun.com ;)

[@hazelsmith5912]

this is awesome thank you so much @shaun Choo

[@FonteneleNXT]

Excuse me sir, but your sounds is very good! Do you use any VSTs? If so which one?

[@Musicshaun]

Fontenele NXT thx! Garritan Abbey Road Studios CFX Grand!

[@FonteneleNXT]

[@josephdoesmore8922]

[@Patoliflonge]

Is that a 1900 reference or i'm imagining things?

[@Musicshaun]

Patoliflonge it's coincidental, I didn't actually see that movie... yet ;D

[@picklerickboi4824]

All 84

[@PiotrBarcz]

I'm not a guy who has a degree in music or anything but this is more like jazz not ragtime, I don't believe ragtime has swing generally
