This makes me wonder even more how you're using AUM and Dorico in some sync'ed Dorico is only a few months on iPadOS and it's already had 2 significant update revisions, I'm sure things will only get said: use Sampletank (to use Miroslav) via AUM and even external MIDI devices. I'd also like to see proper MIDI out options so that you can use Dorico with IAA instruments e.g. You can of course go into the pianoroll of each player and shift note values off-grid (without affecting the manuscript) but that's a little too laborious for me. Without these playback customisations, things can sound a tad robotic. The main thing I'd like to see added to Dorico on the iPad is all the playback customisations of everything from dynamics to human feel. It's 8Gb but with modern iPad storage capacities, it would be a nice option to have. I'm hoping that Steinberg can manage to bring its 'Halion Symphonic Orchestra (long of tooth but sounds great) to the iPad. Sibelius is more of a sidecar application on the iPad whereas Dorico has most of the important aspects of its desktop sibling. Plus I think it's very reasonably priced for what you get. But I like Dorico on the desktop so that's why it's my preferred notation environment on the iPad. Staffpad is great and having access to Spitfire library elements (at a price) is a bonus. And much like Cubasis, Dorico features multicore, so the load of each instrument AUv3 is balanced across your available cores. I set up a buffer of 1024 as standard with Studiomux too as I'm looking for stability, not low latency. But I do first open up AUM on its own and set the buffer to 1024, before opening Dorico, therefore Dorico follows AUM's buffer setting lead. With my M1 iPad Pro I've had no issues at all with Dorico playing back Pure Piano, Sampletron and multiple AudioLayer instances at the same time. Dorico handing off the MIDI to BS-16i might be a good way to go for good entry/notation and reasonable (but still artificial sounding) rendering of the audio mix. IT SCALES on my ipad and nothing using AUv3 can keep up.įor inexpensive MIDI rendering don't forget the $8 BS-16i. Instruments instantly to show you what a composition sounds like. it pre-renders whenever a bar in entered so when you hit play it can mix 20-30 I loaded the MIDI file into StaffPad and it played perfectly. Just ONE AUv3 and I it added a crackling piano. I loaded a MIDI file I picked up today on the Internet and changed the piano to be a Ravenscroft 275. I was intrigued by the thought of using AUv3's in Dorico so I paid for 1 month $4 to test it. Focusing on staff notation is like studying calligraphy. Focusing on theory is like studying literature. IMO, a more direct path to improving your compositional skill is to begin with study of music theory, harmony, etc. Which software you use to produce notation shouldn't make too much of a difference as long as it works well and isn't too frustrating to learn and use. In fact, it could end up being simply a distraction. But no, it's not something that's necessarily going to make you a better composer. You can only go so far with staff notation.Įveryone should try learning staff notation, IMO. So, in that sense, it's a creativity limiter. Everything needs to be broken down into mathematical bits in order to be represented. Staff notation is a highly technical representation of what you hear. It's bad if it overwhelms your instinctive sense and you focus too much on the technical side. It's good if the understanding unlocks insights that increase your creative palette. That said, learning how music is represented on a staff can help you to understand music better, and the more you understand the components, the better you understand the language (of music). I don't see how notation software can help you better learn composing any more than a blue ink pen can improve your writing skills better than a black one.
