Cubase 15 comes with new expression maps. Are they compatible with Dorico ones?

[MarcLarcher]

In other words, is it easier now to open a Dorico project in Cubase 15 and work on it?

(I admit I am curious as to how much the Dorico Team has contributed to the update)

Ooh. I bought a cheap crossgrade from Logic during the sales, but I haven’t used the code till today, so I get a ‘grace period’ upgrade!

I’ll have a play with it and see what I can figure out.

I’ve just updated so will keep you posted on the subject

Music Chef has created a very interesting video : it turns out you can’t import a Dorico expression map into Cubase 15 (yet), but it’s possible to drag and drop it, and it works!

Hello @MarcLarcher,

Well, I have upgraded to Cubase 15 a very good upgrade, btw.
Still Cubase doesn’t look compatible enough with Dorico…

I came up with some interesting thoughts about the future of some products of Steinberg. One of them inspired by Affinity 3, and probably Presonus Studio One (as they don’t, actively, work on new versions of Notion for Desktop)…

Some thoughts about the Future direction of Steinberg and it's products

Hello @Matthias_Quellmann, Thank you very much for the team’s hard work on bringing Cubase 15 up to all of us. The DAW really gets modern with every release. I would like to suggest 3 main ideas about the future destination of Cubase/Nuendo and Steinberg in general. I would like to invite @dspreadbury to see this comment. Would be nice to see a centralization of the Audio Editing in Cubase/Nuendo Something like Pro Tools’ - BeatDetective tool is a “must to have” in every modern DAW B…

Best wishes,
Thurisaz

Thank you, Marc! I’m interested in this. It looks some things are borrowed from EMs in Dorico, such as Add ons. I’m no expert at all in EMs, BTW, but I like to see them making strides towards convergence for interoperability between Dorico and Cubase.

Would be great if we could have “All in One” (Cubase, Nuendo, Dorico, WaveLab and SpectraLayers) within a single, multi-module, application.

How does the Cubase 15 Stem Separation feature compare to SpectraLayers or Logic’s Stem Splitter?

Stem Separation – Power of AI | New Features in Cubase 15

I honestly use those a lot to remove drums when doing transcriptions so would be curious to hear what you think of that feature.

[MarcLarcher]

Honestly, I’m not really interested in that since I work with SpectraLayers (and it already worked fine in ARA), I suppose it’s the same…

Just purchased and gave it a shot with removing drums, which is my most common use …

Source file:

Cubase 15 - Stem Separation (<10 sec)

Logic - Stem Splitter (<10 sec)

SpectraLayers might be able to do better with a bit of editing work, but Logic seems to do a better job than Cubase 15 of removing drums with the quick <10 sec edit.
