And you can bet it wont be cheap.

Funny though how they release information about it on the same day that notation was added to Reaper.

How much does that cost, lol, nothing, all included in the program for free.

Yes i realize that its not exactly the same but Steinberg is not releasing til the end of the year. Plenty of time for Reaper to get even better.

Its also the first time that Steinberg have released details like this, and started a forum, for a product before it was ready to release.

Are they scared of the Reaper.

 

Pricing & availability

€579*

€349* – Educational pricing for qualifying teachers and students
€299* – Special time-limited crossgrade pricing for qualifying Sibelius and Finale users

​

Dorico will be available in Q4 2016.


* Based on official Steinberg SRP pricing including 19% German VAT. Prices may vary depending on regions. Final prices are determined by the respective dealer. Final terms and conditions and qualifying software for the time-limited crossgrade price will be communicated before release.

 

Just a thought but perhaps a pencil and some paper might be a cheaper solution,hey it works for some of the best in the business

 

I agree that they have entered into a phase when they can no longer be the best. I think some sort in 10 years they will be on Sony Acid level

 

As an option, you can keep all the music in your head

 

So much? Urghhh!

 

@DanteUruzu straight to the punch.. greedy bastids...yes I will stay with Reaper... baby don't fear the Reaper..

now you got that song in my head too @Willum

 

Best option

 

Cubase 9 is also coming,new revolutionary light engine that will make even Reaper look like a cpu hog

 

Thanks Willum for your info about Reaper. I have Cubase 8.5 and it s score is a kick in the eggs when you try to obtain a decent score fluidly; in the past I used Cakewalk or Sonar to do that but they are not comfortable for me.

 

what has a scoring software got to do with reaper?

 

Tested Reaper Score, works fine, using keyboard to enter notes, recorded in a midi track.

 

Does this mean they will ditch the score editor in cubase?

 

They are indeed ditching some things,they also said they would abandon 32bit version,so 9 will be 64 bit only.

 

4th qtr 2016, so Spring 2017 if we are following all there other announced vs actual release dates :P

 

As i said in the post that you quoted, notation has now been added to Reaper.

Go look at this video about the new features in Reaper 5.20, notation bit starts at 9:00 into the video.

 

I read on the official forums that there are no immediate plans to ditch the current score editor in Cubase.

Yes, there is a crossgrade for owners of Finale and Sibelius. Whether this will replace those two remains to be seen.

It only requires the software e-license... unless you want it on more than one PC. That's when you have to use the hardware elic. Quite disappointing but expected since it's Steinberg.

there s a big difference between the score editor in a music sequencer and a complete score editing software,u can t compare the two things.Sometime the score editor plugis suffices the needs,but it s very basilar,it depends on what your purposes r.Personally i m fine with sibelius and don t want to get more headaches learning to use another scoring software
