By the looks of what I’m seeing, I’m assuming NP4 and NPPE aren’t actually designed for flat levels and no compression. The level issues are obviously correctable as long as the user is aware, but are the NP4 and the BBCSO Pro NP playback engine designed to be paired with Dorico’s default compression and levels? I think it’s fairly safe to assume the Dorico playback template developed by Spitfire is calibrated for at least Dorico’s compression as it sounds terrible without it. Here’s the ending:Įven the regular NP4 audio without compression exhibits a bit of clipping on this file though. #6, the bottom BBCSO Pro file using Spitfire’s Playback Template (not NPs) without compression sounds terrible as it’s very distorted. I suppose Steinberg and Yamaha wouldn’t mind to collaborate with on a new AI player that will support the whole potential of Dorico and possibly Cubase/Nuendo. If you can’t afford to hire more developers, the only solution is a collaboration with a bigger company. Very often different companies collaborate in order to create something innovative and successful. I know that your company is a very small, but you could always get into collaboration with companies like Steinberg and the team behind their VST products. Once such application becomes available, NP will become unnecessary… That way you may put at risk the future of your product.Ĭurrently you are the one to offer such multi-platform AI solution, but if are neglecting the DAW side, sooner or later another company will come up with a product that covers both aspects of the Notation DAWs. Won’t be good for NP and NPPE if you focus your attention only on the “MS Word” side of the Notation DAWs. The increasing Dorico user base, and the DAW features in MuseScore 4, show that the notation software isn’t a “Microsoft Word for music” anymore… Yes, there are people who are using those apps just as MS Word, in some cases me, too. Well, obviously the music World heading to a software of new generation DAW-like notation applications like Dorico, MuseScore 4, Overture, the upcoming Encore 6 ( those two most probably will fade away from the market), Staffpad… If programs like Sibelius and Finale don’t move forward they will be at risk of loosing their entire market share. The primary function of a notation program is print. It’s also important to remember: If you want control over the slightest nuance of performance and sound, that’s the primary function of a DAW, such as Cubase. I’ve found that purely in that respect, even with the current limitations of non-programmable boundaries, it’s possible to get a somewhat higher rate of the correct shorter articulation in a well-programmed map where there is a wide choice (in libraries like VSL) than NotePerfomer necessarily managed but I’m not underestimating the overall capabilities of these engines - I have been more impressed than I’d expected to be honest so far with my natural scepticism Of course the exact behaviour will depend on what choice of shorter articulations the library offers. It’s one step less far than putting a tenuto marking or something. However, the problem can be reduced or even eliminated simply by lengthening the notes in the Key Editor, at any rate with the BBC SO where I’ve been trying it. This is what I was saying a few days ago. I wish NP would not be so quick to switch to the shorter articulations across the board, and if there’s a way to control this that I’m not aware of, I’d love to spend some time dialing in my preferences. Normally, string and wind players still play very connected even if not slurred, since slurs for these instruments represent very specific instrument techniques, as opposed to on piano where the the slur/non-slur distinction is a little fuzzier and subject to interpretation. The sounds are way too agressive at shortening things that aren’t slurred.
