MIDI,CC, and articulation editing in a few years it will be essentially Cubase.
Last year there was an official Steinberg survey about it, never heard anything about it after then, but I still hope this will happen someday.įOR ME, The DAW back end is worth all the effort on the front end. My hope is that there will be an integrated version of Cubase and Dorico in the future, with all advantages of a great DAW combined with the options of a good notation program. Most major DAW's will beat Dorico of course, because there are much better options to mix and create a good balance, but it's absolutely not bad and much easier to accompish than in Finale, at least for me. I use both Dorico and Cubase, the main thing I run into is that a lot of key commands are different, so making mistakes is very likely, simply because you press a key command and something totally different is happening than you expect.įor me there were two main reasons to switch to Dorico:ġ) lay-out creating parts in Finale, especially long pieces with a lot of notes and text, were a hell of a job and could take several days to finish, even with some good default settingsĢ) playback: with Dorico you can edit playback more like in a DAW, which is great for creating some pretty good sounding mock-ups. A lot of shortcuts are available, adding notes, changing pitches, entering dynamics, change playback, the expression maps and so on, are really helping to work faster. So yes, there's some room for improvement.īut once you have done this and start entering notes in the score and get more used to Dorico, you will find out there are a lot of things which make working with Dorico pretty fast. I believe Dorico was designed by the same people who worked on Sibelius, but why make it less efficient? I guess you guys normally import projects into it so you don’t have to deal with the things I mentioned?Ĭoming from Finale, I first ran into the same issues you mention, especially adding instruments could be much easier and less time consuming and which is still at the same level as Dorico 2 was. It looks better than Sibelius, and it’s from Steinberg, so I have really high hopes for it. I just wanna know how you guys use it because I really wanna like it. I got so tired.Īnyway, I’m not here to bash it. It really slowed me down.Īfter I finished adding instruments I wanted, because there were so many instruments I had to manually adjusting the page size and spacings. Adding instruments in Sibelius is way faster, so is changing names.
Then editing instrument names made me cry. I know I can use “add ensemble” but if what I want is not on the list, then it doesn’t make it any easier. I had to add them one by one and couldn’t keep the dialog open. But because of the current sale I bought it, crossgrade price is only $140.Īnd I just tried to use it but I still don’t know why so many people like it. I tried it a few months ago and wanted to like it because Cubase was the first DAW I’ve ever used and I’ve been using it since then, but unfortunately I didn’t like Dorico. I see lots of people in here love Dorico.
