Hi guys i’m sure this idea isn’t new but would be a massive upgrade for those who compose and produce on top of existing music or soundtracks.
At the moment I have to use a work around where I convert an Audio file to a Video file however it gets confusing lining it up with the FPS of the file.
Perhaps the video feature will some day metamorphose into a “sync medium” feature, including tools for syncing the Dorico project to almost any type of digital media format with a time parameter, including but not limited to audio and video?
As am I. I have made progress since my earlier post working through the suggestions to achieve a similar outcome with Dorico. But the workflow with Dorico does makes for unhappy time spent executing multiple steps in multiple programs.
Two key pieces needed to go faster:
Enabling media other than MP4. The obvious would be MP3 and WAV files. I have found tools and method to generate an MP4 from an MP3, but these just feel like the long way around.
A recordable TempoTap function. Need the ability to quickly and easily create a midi tempo track which syncs bars/beats in notation to audio with variable tempos. This was something Finale had built in.
An alternative for Steinberg here might be to port over a little Cubase functionality: port the function allowing manual alignment of bar/beat lines to transients in visual track representation and have that generate the series of tempo adjustments needed in a midi tempo track.
Ideas, ideas… anyone else looking for this capability?
