#DORICO CUBASE PROFESSIONAL#
As you would expect, functionality is reduced with the less expensive options to the point where with Dorico SE you can only have two players in the project.Īt the professional end of the scale, Dorico is now available in version 3.5 will set you back £480, or as a student, lecturer, or teacher, £291.
#DORICO CUBASE FREE#
Dorico, like Sibelius, offers different ‘levels’ of product from the free ‘SE’ version to the professional one.
#DORICO CUBASE SOFTWARE#
What you receive with either of these pieces of software is a comprehensively constructed package capable of delivering almost anything you can imagine to you, the composer. As you will have gathered from the name of the software, Sibelius is so-called as Sibelius was a favourite composer of Ben and Jonathan Finn. By 2005, the company had offices across the world and in 2006 was acquired by Avid Technologies. Sibelius took off quickly as it was not only an intuitive programme to work with, but it had been designed by two people who understood what a composer, or publisher, needs to make the workflow go smoothly. Publishing houses like Faber Music also chose Sibelius software that made a significant impact on the sales of the product. Composers like George Benjamin and John Rutter were two of the early composers to adopt and rubber stamp Sibelius. Acorn computers did at first limit the uptake of Sibelius, but this did not endure. I remember this only too well, as this is exactly what I used at the time. The very early versions of Sibelius ran on Acorn computers with as little as 4Mb RAM. The brothers Finn, Ben, and Jonathan, cleverly set about designing not only an outstanding notation programme that not only produced professional-looking scores but could playback the notation. Sibelius was founded by two Cambridge Music students in 1993, who had found that writing out music by hand was an overly laborious task. Incidentally, if you are curious about the name, it was chosen to recognise the skills and contributions of the 16 th Century Italian music engraver Valerio Dorico (1500-1565).
Sibelius was taken over by Avid Technologies but they closed their London offices in 2012 leaving Steinberg the ideal opportunity to headhunt some of the top software developers for their new project: Dorico. What is of particular note is that Dorico was, for the most part, a project designed by some of the key developers of Sibelius software.
#DORICO CUBASE MAC OS#
Developed by Microsoft and Steinberg, Dorico was first available on Windows and Mac OS in late October 2016. Dorico, in comparison to Sibelius, is a relatively new offering in the world of notation software. Let’s begin with a brief look at the origins of each of these pieces of software. In this article, I’m going to make a light comparison between the two to measure the merits and wheedle out the weaknesses.
