Hello, everyone
I created a project, solo voice and piano
Then, can I input notes into voice(soprano) staff using microphone (my own voice) directly?
As far as I search such topics here in this forum, it looks negative
So, then, should I use Cubase instead?
Thank you
No, you canāt sing into a microphone and have Dorico write the notes.
Just think: are you able to sing with a perfectly clean āattackā, and no vibrato? If not, then Dorico is likely to add several small notes at the start of each ānoteā, and maybe āwrite inā your vibrato!
There is software that can turn audio into notation; but how good it is, and how much cleaning up you would have to do; I donāt know. Cubase does claim to convert audio into MIDI.
Youāre best off using a MIDI keyboard, or Doricoās on-screen piano keyboard or the A-G keys for notes.
Finale used to have a thing called Mic Notator, designed for Wind instruments; but it was extremely unreliable, and they pulled it from the app.
Nice to see you again, Ben
Thank you for your excellent summary
I understand now
See you again. Have a nice day, Ben
In fact, you CAN sing in midi:
Iād be interested to see how well it does. Not $250 interested, but interested nonetheless. 
But of course āMIDI isnāt notationā: a note thatās 3 beats long could be represented several different ways in notation (with tied notes); and pitches are just a number, not sharps nor flats.
Dorico does a pretty good job of rendering MIDI, but I dare say overall, itās probably as least as much work as just pressing the buttons to enter the notes.
Iād say this would really fill a void for someone who was a trained vocalist but didnāt have good keyboard skills; it could speed up note entry vs. clicking in with a mouse.
The (computer) keyboard works amazingly well here, if I wasnāt a pianist or handy on the (piano) keyboard Iād do that straightaway. May be overall faster as then you donāt have to shift between the piano and computer keyboard. Depending on circumstances on the iPad or laptop Iāll just do it that way and itās just as fast.
The only trouble is getting the octave right, is there any way to do that on the computer keyboard without entering a note, then Alt-Shift Up/Down to get it to the right place (if thatās the right command, itās in muscle not verbal memory).
I havenāt tried it myself but Iāve been told by a friend that scorecloudā specifically scorecloud songwriter works very well for this sort of thing.
