I'm going to pin this! You are spot on I forgot to mention that because in my actual tracking project for this song in particular I played the keyboard intro and outro so my click was different from Doricos. Thank you for watching!
@@cjrhenmusic I have a related question. Previously, when going from Finale to Logic, I would enter bookmarks in Finale, which would be translated into markers in Logic. Is there an equivalent in Dorico? I love your videos.
Thank for watching and glad you enjoyed! I do use sampled instruments for specific types of recordings or depending on availability of players. For example a song I am putting out in January has a fake bari sax because the part is so sparse and I didn't have access to one during tracking. Also in my orchestral mockups and short film work I use samples instruments frequently. The other time I use them is for electric pianos and even full piano takes sometimes. I do that because I have control over the sound or patch of the keyboard later and for piano, sometimes it's better for a great pianist to track remotely and send midi than it is to find a local pianist who may not be as well suited for the song I am recording. Hope that gives you some insight!
Wow! Incredible! Question: could one use the daw within Dorico (I know it’s a basic daw…haven’t worked with anything like this b4)? What drawbacks does it have compared to what you use? You’re right, it ain’t music ‘till it sounds. I have a lot of small orchestral arrangements for Christmas & Easter I think would sound cool recorded. I have members and former members of the Jacksonville Symphony (about 11 of them, mostly strings with oboe, trumpet & Timp), but they are union musicians so it gets a little expensive. BUT if you use only 1 violinist, a viola etc it would cut down on cost. Thoughts?
Thank you for watching! So the daw in Dorico is strictly midi and for playback... No audio recordings or files. That said any daw will do even possibly audacity. If you are in need of something, reaper is free and GarageBand is great. And as for recording those small arrangements, hiring out single players at a time will do the trick, I will hopefully be doing a video on a Christmas brass ensemble arrangement I am producing for West Virginia University as a video, and you will get to see some relevant styles with these recording methods.
@robertwaddell8427 garage band should be able to handle all the basics, enough to get the multitrack recorded stems to a mix engineer which you can even hire remotely!

If you save your project as a MIDI file and open that up in your DAW then all of the tempos will be correct.

Very nice video!
Thank you for watching!
Good video, and improved audio!
Thank you for watching! I'm excited to make more content about the music I compose and produce!
Very helpful and useful video, and thanks for the shoutout!
Thank you for being a part of my music!
Great video! Have you finished your Mercy Mercy Mercy chart yet? Looked on your website last week and didn’t see it looking forward to buying a copy!
I did finish it, and actually have 5 new charts I will get up on my website in the next few days. Thank you for your interest and reminding me!
This is very nice and informative. Do you ever use sampled instruments?

@ ah! I do have garage band. Never used it b4 but will read up on it & see what I can do. Thanks
