Hi! Thank you for doing this video in 2020! I am seeing it in 2024. I think I will give Dorico a try. The playing field of music notation software is completely open for me. I am not coming from Finale or Sibelius but I have been contemplating those two for this first BIG project of mine. I am writing my first Jazz Bass Method Book. I have all the content ie. Transcriptions ready to begin inputting... but I have no music notation software. All my transcriptions are handwritten. I need to take the next step. I am writing a book about the walking bass lines of Oscar Pettiford. It will be A LOT of quarter notes and 1/8th notes. My macBook Pro is old...a 2015 model. I hope Dorico will work on it??? It has Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7. Yes, I need a new computer. Do you think Dorico SE would be best for my purpose? Thanks for your advice and the video! Best regards, Kurt

So glad this video exists. I'm in virtually the exact same scenario you were, just a few years later-- been using Sibelius 7 since 2011, haven't updated my Macbook OS since 2018, just got a new computer and of course Sib 7 is incompatible. I have Dorico 2 from years ago but never learned it properly. I think I will take the plunge into Dorico 5 over the next few months while doing my last couple paid arrangements with Sibelius on my old computer.

I've also switched to Dorico from a previous notation software! (I used Finale v26 and v27) To me, it's been a wonderful experience. Much easier to compose and engrave in for me. While I still am keeping Finale for any project I may need to utilize it for, Dorico is much easier for me to compose and notate in. I was able to get my scores to look AMAZING much quicker than I ever could in Finale.

Thank you for this video brother! I used Finale since the 1990s (still have the original floppy somewhere from version 1.0) and ran in on a mac quadra. Used it forever, but the last time I felt like it truly added useful features was finale 2000. It was always better playback (not really, plus I was writing parts for people to play live, I only needed a guess at what it sounded like), better interface (lol, no), etc. Meanwhile they made it crash more, forget my license, and killed compatibility. I would open up an old score and elements would be all out of place. Awful when I wanted to just open up an old piece and print a part. But, the alternative only felt 5% more modern. I stopped using score writers entirely when I quit teaching and went to paper only, but I find I miss the scorewriter workflow somewhat. I've been out of that game for so long I no longer know what other musicians are even doing.

what mallets are you using?

I'm able to share this with my Beginning Percussion students! Thank you so much, Huei!

Really helpful stuff thank you 🙏

Something not in this video but i feel like is just as important, show respect to ur instructors they know how they want u to perform, they control everything that happens so just listen and yes ask questions to go deeper into ur issues but don’t do anything disrespectful to them

I’m not going into dci for a few years whether that’s during or after college but i’m a senior in high school and i’m planning on auditioning for dca this upcoming season since i’ve only done marching band in hs as a bass drum for 2 years but in my second year they gave me the hardest part and we just had our first show and i’ve been nailing it so i wanna go into dca use these tips and perform at my best and show that i’m not the same kid as i was in my sophomore year, i don’t doubt myself, i am fluent at my instrument, i am not afraid to challenge myself

Loving the musicality and performance! 😊♥

Hey, not sure if anyone will respond to this because this video is 5 years old, but I'm gonna ask anyway. I'm currently a junior in high school (11th grade) and I've been doing percussion since 8th grade. For the longest time, I was the kid that was only in band because my parents wanted me to be in it. So, I didn't practice and I wasn't very interested in percussion as a whole. I didn't do marching band in 9th grade, but I did do it in 10th and I'm doing my second year in 11th grade. Anyway, over the last 3-4 months, I've had a complete mindset change. I saw a clip from the 2014 Bluecoats show "Tilt" (the closer of course) and something about that video made me decide that I wanted to do DCI and do what they were doing. The issue is, I'm not a very good percussionist. Sure, I've been practicing consistently for 2-3 hours every day, working on rudiments, chops etc. I've also been staying after school on days I don't have marching band rehearsal to practice mallets. But I am just not very good. I feel like I'm doing too little too late and I'm honestly sometimes embarrassed to tell people I want to march DCA/DCI. Basically, I just don't know if its even possible for me to get to the DCA and eventually DCI level of playing.

Ive been cut a lot. I would say the biggest thing is to figure out how to do what they say and immediately adjust. That was very difficult for me, and if you do exactly what they say and immediately adjust, makes it hard for them to turn you down (politics aside).

...and now switching again to MuseScore 4.1 😁... at no cost whatsoever 😁😁

Such a quality idea

Awesome playing, and camera angles really helped with seeing your technique

Thanks for it 👍🏻

Excellent advice. As somewhat of a dinosaur that would have aged out in the early 2000s, a couple of things I noticed during my audition experiences. Getting cut; when it comes to that- sometimes it's best to keep your options open, and keep an open mind. I auditioned for snare at Phantom once, and they were all about this "uniformity" concept back in those days (this was pre-Rennick) and the technique the snare tech was preaching about, was so uncomfortable for me to the point I knew there was no way I would be able to play clean with that technique. So, I got cut. However, no one ever said anything to me the entire camp, cause I DID play clean. It just wasn't a good fit and wasn't meant to be; if this happens, don't let it get you down, and see if another place might work out better! Confidence, consistency, and ALWAYS practice with a metronome! The staff WILL notice this. In a good way.

Awesome playing as always brotha! Also the editing and camera is super engaging! Definitely draws your attention :O

Do you prefer to play your forte dynamics in the center, or a little off center?

Excellent video, as always! 👏😎

Playing excellence? Check! Video production excellence? Check! Great resource for TMEA? Check, check, check!

EB videos coming out hot! 👏🔥

Texas is on a whole different schedule than here in Indiana!

Beautiful as always! Nice job Huei!!

Great advice, HYP!! Pasic '23?

Nice!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thanks to your video, I had to give Dorico a look… and, WOW, does it ever look, feel, and work great! Dorico’s design is very well thought out and much more than just a simple notation software. You are so right about Dorico’s documentation and learning videos being very helpful to get working quickly in Dorico. The most impressive part of Dorico for me is what it’s capable of and how intuitive it is to use its features. I do recommend reading the beginning chapters in the documentation to learn about its design and concepts. They aren’t kidding when they say it has music rules built-in. For example, it was very easy to write a practice piece going through the Cycle of Fifths in Dorico. I’d select a measure, put in the new Key signature and Dorico automatically preceded the Key change with double bar lines. I don’t know all the rules of music notation, so to have this kind of help built-in to the app is very helpful in producing professional level scores.

Ahhhh 😆😂 1:33

Great exercise, we do it at our high-school.

This is great, and I want mooooooore.

I showed up late to many of my auditions; whether in Drum Corps or College Marching band. Even though I still made it in, I'd encourage people to not do that lol 🤣

All I heard was "yeah bass". 😁

I was an early adopter of Dorico back when it came out. I liked it but kept starting about half my projects in Sibelius just because of years of familiarity with the older software. Once I put some time into learning the different ways Dorico is structured, it payed me back and I became more impressed and was score to get things done quicker. Since this video was made, Dorico 4 was released, which is a big stride forward, great usability improvements like the jump bar, on top of tons of refinements and a real sense of a mature product.

You talk too much without action

Love this sound

here from karl’s discord!

Excellent work as always! Love the acoustic of your studio too!

Love this - well played and produced, Huei!!!

Mallet skills 🥰
