From Cubase to Dorico | Turning your DAW project into beautiful music notation

[@ErnestoComposer]

Thanks for having me, Dorico!!

[@rakatafly1978]

Incredibly useful! ¡Gracias Ernesto!What I'd like now is a video that shows and explains the other way round: how to export a Dorico project to a new Cubase project and how to make it sound with Cubase as lively and rich as if it had been created in Cubase...

[@agustinalonsomusic]

Great video, Ernesto! Those MIDI import options save so much time 🎉

[@bonuebonue]

Very clear and helpful explanation! Thank you Ernesto!

[@replicant6]

Awesome video! Interesting, clear, and concise.

[@jarkkoriihimäkimusic]

Great informstion, thank you!

[@SamirAbadeer]

Great job , I liked it

[@drRomanIDrozd]

Thanks, Ernesto, for this video. If it's not a secret, what controller are you using (the silver one on the left of the Macbook)?

[@jdsd_]

Thanks a lot for the explanation video! Does Cubase export some kind of special file with more information so it works perfectly together with Dorico or does all the shown stuff also work if I import a MIDI file from lets say Ableton Live into Dorico?

[@marcoredolfi1222]

Hello, please can you post the video to explain how to use Agent Groove 5 and how to import Agent Groove 5 patterns?

That's very helpful, thank you so much! However, I am a studio one user but not a fan of Notion. I'm thinking about purchasing Dorico, is that midi export possible from Studio one to Dorico ?

[@ronniemartinssonbonde8445]

Yes, all midi-files, doesn´t matter where they come from.

[@mrfomiatti5515]

G'day.🐨

[@drRomanIDrozd]

Who knows, what MIDI controller is on this video (left from the macbook)?

[@drRomanIDrozd]

Ernesto? :)

[@TheOldgeezah]

The complete opposite to my workflow. Composing in Dorico is a breeze. I then either send midi or audio file to my DAW for mastering. The idea of composing anything other than the most simple tune in a DAW just does not appeal to me.

[@dorico]

That's ok too!

[@matthiasrother9743]

I do both. To me live recording in the daw is more convenient. Then arrange/complete the composition in Dorico and again mixing it in Cubase. But mostly like you.

[@PeterRoos]

Cool. One note: Dorico is very clever with harp pedaling but most professional harpists prefer to write in the pedaling themselves (with the possible exception of glissandi).

[@dorico]

They can do that too, but the tool might also be a useful way of telling composers whether the changes they are writing are playable too.

[@GuyVignati]

And what about from Dorico to Cubase?? Need a video because it's a mess...

[@Klangschmiede]

I have the same problem, from Dorico to Nuendo

[@PeterRoos]

You can export a midi file from Dorico and import that into Cubase.

[@Klangschmiede]

@@PeterRoos I know, but are the VST engines setup imported as well?

[@GuyVignati]

@@PeterRoos yes ok I wrote that…but it’s not the point

[@PeterRoos]

@@Klangschmiede No, you'll have to insert VSTs and effects separately. Midi has info like note length and track names etc. but as far as I know there is no way to automatically use the same playback engine. For example if you use noteperformer, how does that translate to your VSTs?

[@nomorebushz]

Thank you Steinberg for 70% off for my Dorico Pro 5! Take it from an oboist ... it's what I've been waiting for, for decades! Cubase Pro 13 user. Dorico is beautiful!!! Hey! Expression Mapping insight please :-)

[@dorico]

check out some other videos on the channel for expression map details

[@jdsd_]

how did you get the 70% off? Would be nice to know haha :D

[@linuslauterbach2975]

@@jdsd_ There was a BIG sale to celebrate a big anniversary of Steinberg a few months ago. If you purchased or upgraded to any "Pro"-license (Dorico Pro, Cubase Pro, Nuendo, Wavelab Pro) you got one 70% coupon to be used on one of the other Pro licenses. I did what the original commentator probably also did: upgrade to Cubase 13 Pro with 50% off and then buy Dorico Pro with 70% off.

[@naturalbornweakness]

I feel that Cubase's notation function is more inconvenient than Studio One's function. Honestly, I'm so annoyed. It would be nice if Cubase and Dorico were integrated and linked in real time.

[@dorico]

We will continue to work on some options - watch this space.

[@naturalbornweakness]

@@dorico Oh, that's great!

[@petereducator]

@@dorico I agree with this. And can I make a related suggestion also for something I find to be frustrating... The midi editor interface in both Cubase and Dorico should be more or less the exact same or more similar. Otherwise what's the point in pretending they are interlinked. For example even a simple feature like to zoom in and out on both interfaces requires dragging and pushing the mouse in different directions on both!! It's much harder to navigate Dorico midi editor when you are used to Cubase's and I think it is more important to use the Cubase interface as the exemplar rather than the other way around given most people who are interested in using midi in the Cubase/Dorico relationship are primarily coming from the DAW perspective. Hope that helps!

[@Monomorphismus]

It's so simple that one needs a 20 min video to explain how to do it.

[@jdsd_]

If youve tried to do the same thing with other programs you know this one looks actually pretty simple and gives you a ton more options :D
