      It's not Musescore 5...
      It's Muse Realistic Orchestra v0.2, a performance software intended as a companion to Musescore 5 with its own sophisticated playback suite, conductor mode, and lifelike 3D rendering.

    There's definitely a big difference between musescore 3.6 and 4. But although I think, ms 4 sounds much better and has improved a lot, so things could definitely be better. Like the mix of the instruments, so that the one with the melody peeks out a bit more.

While it is a significant step in the right direction, it has massive articulation and sampling issues. It sounds amazing in quiet, legato passages, but completely falls apart with anything remotely vigorous. NotePerformer 3.3 on the other hand sounds brash in quiet, legato passages, lacks warmth, but has industry-leading articulation response and plenty of punch. Many of its samples and synths could be better, but it doesn't have /issues/, where notes are cutting in and out, cutting off, clicking, etc.

    Yeah. Like. Musescore 4 has the bigger picture down for sure!
    I recommend showing of a String Solo piece some day, it is then when you can really see all the small flaws really add up, like you hearing two instruments instead of one noticeable in the for of "Schwebungen" (google said that english word is "acoustic beats" no clue if that is true)
    Like. In slow legato pieces the musescore strings are utterly amazing, but as was stated in a different comment, they lack clarity and attack in fast passages.
    Anothet thing that bothers me is, how missmatched the volumes of the different samples are, but maybe that is just me comming from a daw where samples are standerdized.

      @@_ve0 This is one of the most accurate assessments I've seen on the subject so far. So many are just drooling over Muse Sounds, and as a composer of classical music and user of NotePerformer, I just don't get it. Yeah, Muse Sounds can create some amazing demos-IF-you stay within a certain genre (just like many other sample libraries costing thousands). Most sample libraries are optimized for John Williams type dramatic, Hollywood sound. Muse Sounds seems to be optimized for quiet, legato passages. If you step outside of any of these optimized genres with such sample libraries, NotePerformer 3.3 immediately takes the lead. With a little extra effort (multitrack EQ and reverb), NotePerformer's sound can be significantly improved even further.

  • @channel-b
    @channel-b 2 роки тому +2

    The new samples are great but the current implementation makes them too much of a pain to deal with (for me) to actually use. The volume balance of some instruments is way off (the super quiet choir samples for example) but so is the timing of the notes. Yes, the basic soundfont sounds very primitive but it's more consistent, so I'm gonna stick with it until they fix these issues. At the end of the day I care more about hearing the parts that I'm writing as written than realism. I do appreciate that they are releasing all of these samples for free but the finished product doesn't do the work put into recording them justice.

      First, make sure you make a backup. After that, because scores from 3 are forward-compatible, all you have to do is open the same file from within musescore 4. That’s it.

How feasible is it to make use of an external VST-based library with Musescore 4? I ask more regarding articulations -- is there a way to program it so that it switches/keyswitches sounds when you input staccato, pizzicato, vibrato/pitch bend, attack modifications, etc within the VST in question?
