There's a noticeable divide between those who compose with MIDI and those using traditional notation. Composing with notation often results in unrealistic playback, while focusing on realistic MIDI playback can lead to unreadable notation for musicians. Steinberg addresses this with two software options: Cubase and Dorico. Cubase is a DAW with strong secondary notation features, while Dorico is a notation editor with supplementary DAW capabilities. In Cubase, Display Quantize allows you to adjust the score's appearance without altering the MIDI notes, making it possible for the score and playback to differ. Dorico also offers tools for managing separate visual and playback interpretations. Seamless file swapping between Cubase and Dorico is increasingly streamlined, enhancing their integration and usability in the compositional process.
