THANK YOU FOR THE EXCELLENT VIDEO….VERY, VERY GOOD…BUT…PLEASE…TURN DOWN THE LOUD BACKGROUND MUSIC OR SWITCH TO SOMETHING MORE SERENE. IT RUINS WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH ( I Use caps to make a point ). It’s like teaching your students with a broken air conditioner running in the classroom!!😢😢

Crazy how close they sound to saxophones..

Nice 6-month overview! ✨ I think people would love to hear more samples tho (esp. A&B or with/without sub)

thank you.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Great job explaining this, David!!!

Where can i find the sheet music for this

I have this one. It's awesome

I think the player of the Sax can hear this best, and if your microphone was closer to the Sax, it would improve the test. So we could hear it too. (Its like when you play the Sax in a corner) I think the resonance in the Klangbogen will change the sound slightly when your playing, and the people with in a meter will hear this too. Too long away, this "effect" sound will fade away. But it has made me curious and I'm considering whether I should try one. So thanks for the video.

Wow, thanks for the great video. You saved me time converting my Finale projects to Dorico. I like your video presentation style. I don't think your background music is too distracting since it is not too loud.

I want Note ??

What happened to the bari sax solo like the original ? 😔

Thank you for the review. I ordered the mouthpiece last week, and compared to my Jody Jazz HR mouthpiece, it’s noticeably easier to play. I don’t have to work as hard on it. It also sounds a bit more crisp, and the tone is homogeneous from bottom to top. The only issue I’m having is that I’m not sure about the reed strength at all. I tried a 3.5 reed, but it still felt too soft to get properly full and accented low notes.

Very informative, thanks! Have you compared Note Performer to some of the better VST libraries such as from BBC Symphonicity Orchestra or for brass and woodwinds, those from Fracture Sounds which feature a superlative new legato for Kontakt?

Improv! Explains a lot. Thank you.

Excellent, David! Thanks so much!

😀 THANK YOU, David! 🎶

When I use "reset to factory" on the "inter system gap", I get "10" as value. Don't know how you got a 6 on that?

Thank you so much for sharing. Really appreciate it. I’ll buy one.

О, кларнет для левшей😮

Very helpful and pleasant. But to be honest, it feels like 28 minutes of trial and error frustration, and emphasizes my 50/50 love/hate between sibelius and dorico.

Very helpful video, thanks for posting! As a long time Finale user just starting to use Dorico, I am already frustrated by some of the things Finale did so easily and intuitively. Any suggestions on how to delete a blank page at the end of a lead sheet that occurred when I moved the one system on the last (second) page to make it a one-page lead sheet? I've removed Overrides, tried to adjust master pages, deleted all of the header type and page text boxes to make the last page completely blank, searched the manual, read the forums, watched videos, searched internet, etc., but it still appears. Finale automatically deleted the page of course, when nothing was visible on the page. Like many Dorico users, not sure why they have Page insert buttons, but no easy page delete button.

I tried a tenor mpc on bari, it sounded great but was NOT in tune, LOL!

What is that brass instrument on the left of the screen?

Merci et bravo ! On sourit souvent, quand on a été confronté à cette question ! Merci pour toutes ces astuces.

@larsenjazzmusic I'm late to the party, but thanks for this review. I already use a good subwoofer in my main setup, but was considering the Kali sub for a secondary system. I also have the Kali IN-8v2, but they've now been moved from the studio to my casual listening bedroom setup. Great monitors/speakers in either scenario, and really tough to beat considering the price. Most people don't realize how much a good subwoofer adds to the listening experience when it is properly integrated with the main speakers. But most people have them cranked up way too high. Using the footswitch is a good way to find a good/lifelike balance and know when you've got just enough, or too much. Upright acoustic bass and electric bass guitar as well as kickdrums and toms really come to life (and even the impact of the snare), and injects some of that real world tactile impact experience that is otherwise missing. I'm a drummer/percussionist in addition to playing saxophone and have a home studio as well. For your desktop setup, I think that the smaller IN-5v2 + the Kali subwoofer might have been a more practical setup. I've auditioned the IN-5v2 as well, and surprisingly, they honestly don't give up much at all in regards to low-end extension & precision, and maximum SPL compared to the IN-8. The IN-5v2 are obviously smaller overall and less expensive, so more of that money could go towards the subwoofer. I also wanted to ask what microphones you've preferred for your saxophone recordings??? I'm a fan of some of the better ribbon microphones...Mesanovic Model 2, Samar VL-37a, various RCA/AEA, Coles, etc. I use these for drum O/H and room mics as well. Happy New Year!

@DavidLarsen Thanks for the review, David. I've recently been on the hunt for a new Alto mouthpiece that isn't crazy money, so this was helpful. Thanks for mentioning the ligature and reed combinations as well. Happy New Year!

Work song!!

Which reeds are recommended for the Theo mouthpiece tenor sax?

Thanks very much. It’s very helpfull for me a Finale former.

Saxophone trumpet and drums are like the only GREAT instruments.I said GREAT because good instruments are violin viola clarinet trombone and finally tuba

Thank you for the great and super clear tutorial on layouts.

This deep dive into how Dorico manages score layout was interesting. Thank you for sharing. The trial and error method was instructive. I look forward to the next video on part layout.

Great stuff! One of the most helpful tutorials I’ve encountered-thanks!

is there a way to display, say, Nashville style symbols in one instrument and default style symbols in another instrument?

Awesome playing! Nice store too.

That switch tempo half way through was just spectacular. Proof that musicians speak their own language!! Love these guys!! Go see Bill Mays Trio LIVE!

Thank you

I got the #5 for alto three weeks ago and I love it.

A little tip: at 9:00, to shrink down the last orphan system to fit into the previous page, a good/recommended way is also to reduce slightly the "Default space for crotchet/quarter note: "value in Layout Options/Note Spacing, without the need of decreasing the Rastral Size ;-) Keep the good work: you produce very nice and useful videos!

Great tipps! thank you!. To select all chord symbols, you can select one an use the shortcut for Select All (Shift+Option+A) twice (the first time all the chord symbols in the system will be selected, the second time all the chords symbols in the flow will be selected) ;-) (opps, I noticed that this was already being suggested yesterday)

Great video, thank you! (May I suggest to don't have the continuous background music?: it distracts and make looking at the video a little more difficult).

Thank you SO MUCH for this. I'm finishing up my first big band chart in Dorico and this video saved the day! Much appreciated.

These monitors are really hard to beat at their price point. I've enjoyed mixing on them for almost 3 years now.

You can use select more for chord symbols. Select a chord symbol and press cmd+shift+a

Great video but please cut the music.

Love your videos. Music is distracting though. Keep em coming.

Excellent! I've changed all my MA's to ma. Exactly what I opened this video for!

This was quite helpful. I was incredibly disappointed with Dorico after inputting some of my first pieces (and spending a good amount of money on it) only to click on the preview and have the page look like a dog's dinner. You would think The default output would be a little better than THAT for what it costs. Annoying that you have to go into the back end and adjust so many things just for it to do something so simple as choose the right staff size so that everything isn't colliding and pushing things off the page. Hopefully they can introduce some updates in a later release that can intelligently lay things out automatically.
