You could be in for a huge disappointment. As it was supposed to be released a year ago, I would be very careful about making any plans that include it. So DP for Windows doesn't exist (yet) so currently there is no choice to make. It's also easier for clean up when transferring your MIDI score to a notation app like Finale or Sibelius as you don't have loads of tracks of the same instrument for changing articulations. If you don't like key switching or program changes for arts, the expression map can save a lot of time. Cubase 7 has got a beefy score section (probably will get beefier with the former Sibelius team working for Steinberg now) and the Expression maps. For notation, I use Sibelius and even find DP's QuickScribe to be quite good for general notation editing. Personally, and this is just me, I separate my heavy orchestral writing with DAWs. Pity the MOTU doesn't sound as good as the RME. Granted most of my troubles occured when I was using my RME Babyface which I didn't experience while using the MOTU 2408Ml3. DP8 crashed on Snow Leopard a lot so I moved up to Mountain Lion and thought it would simmer down.

I just upgraded to a used Mac Pro 2.8ghz 8 core with 15 gb RAM. I prefer its mixer to Cubase's though I think Cubase 7 is a LOT better than 6.5.Ĭubase is more stable on my Mac. If you are at all familiar with Pro Tools GUI, you will feel at home with DP.
I'm more at home with DP because I've worked on a few film projects with it and it makes sense to me in terms of general navigation. But I haven't seen anything that gets you closer to a compact traditional score than expression maps. If you don't write for virtual orchestral or use only a few articulations then I don't know if they're useful. It's also linked to the score editor - you can assign symbols / markings to expressions and they show up as appropriate in the score editor. Only you don't have to think about the MIDI - you think about the playing style and the expression map takes care of the rest for you. Then, in the MIDI editor, there's a lane below the piano roll that shows legato, staccato, pizz, col legno, whatever and you assign which one is active just like you would assign a value to a MIDI controller.

It makes full orchestrations compact and easy to read.įirst you define which articulations / playing styles go with which MIDI keyswitches / channels / controllers / whatever. Click to expand.Expression maps are the easiest way to combine a whole bunch of articulations on a single track, so you can read the MIDI data or score just like you would a regular score - one line per part.
