Another thing to add to this: Virtually all musesound instruments play legato by default. If you want a more detached performance, put mezzo staccato (tenuto+staccato) for each note to cut the legato transition. For the ensemble strings, using the mezzo staccato may not achieve a strong attack and would sound portato. If you want a more detache effect, use the accent mark.
I already did this by exporting the parts as WAV files and editing it in a DAW, but it's great to know that most of the work can be done in MuseScore (including some I hadn't thought of). This will let me work in my preferred software a lot more, make my music sound a lot better, and save a LOT of storage space on my laptop. Thanks!
That's something I've considered doing in Cubase. I definitely think you could get better results by importing all the parts and mixing from there, but I always use the method outlined in the video for time's sake. Thanks for your comment!
@@paulalcazar I'm still going to do both, but there's a lot you can do in MuseScore that you can't do after the audio has been rendered, some of which I hadn't even considered before this video. Also, having already done a lot of the work in MuseScore will make the DAW work a lot faster and easier, so thanks again for making this video!
7:38 Slurs do matter for brass instruments that have the sounds flag of "classical phrasing", which I think was added after this video was uploaded 8:50 This is now obsolete as you can just move the dynamic to different eighth notes in the measure regardless of there not being a not starting there
you also can put a ''louré'' (articulations) to avoid the unwanted portamento instead of an accent if you don't want that emphasys of the accent. In a future Muse Sounds will sound so great. EDIT. It doesn't work always, it's weird it's like it works only in some notes
@@paulalcazar No. I play "C D E" piano. After i play "F G A" forte. So now when i listen to "C D E" it plays forte sample with lower volume it seems instead of playing piano. Oh and congrats for your works.
@@pristian One thing you could try is placing a piano marking on a rest before the measure you want played piano. If you need further assistance you can send me an image of the issue at my email address (under channel info). Thanks!
I went in to my MuseScore4 it does not have the same reverb options you have. There is just a dial. I have 4.2 and the mixer just doesn't look like yours. So I got my hopes up, but no. There is no properties either in my version. You find explode under tools. So I am not sure how to follow some of your instructions as they don't correspond to what I'm looking at. Is there a newer version? I'm confused.
Hello, Paul! How are you? I have a question about the playback of glissandos. I saw in this video a solution for the problem I have, the portamenti glissando for the strings, I changed the style as you said, but now the playback just don't play the glissando. What can I do to fix it?
I mean, listening carefully it kinda does it, but it holds most of the time in the first note and slides quickly to the next. I saw that in MS 3 it was possible to change that, to make a smoother slide across the full extention of the note value. Can it be done in this new version?
@@javmbz_schlithler I've found that MuseScore doesn't like to play the glissando/portamento on certain notes. This is probably because of the way the samples were recorded. Strangely, sometimes adding no glissando/portamento at all actually has the reverse effect. It also depends on the range: for example, you may be out of luck with minor second intervals. You could also email me a screenshot of the problem.

Thanks for this remarkable tutorial. That will improve my Musecore sounds a lot. You deserve more subscribers. Keep up the good work.
Glad it was helpful! :)

Thank you for this great tutorial ! Very helpfull. Articulations and dynamics are a problem in musescore, and this helps a lot.
Thank you for this!!

"classical phrasing" is also applicable to string sections
How can we change the payback blue line to highlight the notes?

It's definitely very finicky.
Paul,
This is a terrific video thanks.
Very good video thank you. I have a bug with some woodwinds, if i play "p" and change to "f" one or two bars after it changes the "p" sample sound.
Is the problem a sudden dynamic shift from piano to forte?
@@paulalcazar No. I play "C D E" piano. After i play "F G A" forte. So now when i listen to "C D E" it plays forte sample with lower volume it seems instead of playing piano. Oh and congrats for your works.

Perfect! 👍
Thank you, you are great
What terrible pointless video that didn't help me solve the problem with musescore playback.
