Now, you're probably saying, "yeah, right" (and maybe along with a or two) but look, I'm a moderator here. He can literally smell a score-related post 20 miles away from a phone line. So you know, Stevenson is probably the foremost score editor guru on the entire internet. there fore each track represents a stave in the score as it were. I tend to step time in logic (very fast) and i have things set up so that one track plays all articulations. sibelius's ability to interpret rhythm is not great (limited) so if you are planning any n-tuplet heavy pieces, maybe go sibelius first then logic. Make sure your logic score is quantized in note length as well as note position, otherwise you will get unexpected results in sibelius. think of the arrnge and the overview of the entire structure you get. there would be no harm going the other way to do realistic mockups, but if you can get used to just getting the notes down in logic, it will be much much faster for you, and much easier to restructure pieces. Usually the workflow is the other way round - you would write in logic, and then export a midi file to sibelius to finish it as a score. its sort of 'unfinished' is the polite way to put it.
this does cause some hair tearing because while logic is by far the fastest tool to get a score done in, it will only take so far before it starts leaving you to have to work around its limitations. my preferred method is actually to absolutely everything in logic, including all the finishing. I do a lot of orchestration and mock-ups. (I wasn't quite sure which forum this should go in, so I apologize in advance if I picked the wrong one) Working with orchestral type instrumentation is completely new to me (and I know it will be a big learning curve), so any pointers are greatly appreciated!! Thanks! I've heard that creating convincing orchestral instruments requires a lot of CC midi tweaking, and/or careful use of realtime expression controllers while recording(?), so.am I better off to write it in Sibelius, export midi files, import into logic and add CC/expression in the editor in Logic? Or would I be better off to just treat Sibelius as a pure writing tool, and then plan on practicing and re-recording the parts in realtime into Logic? Or is there some other workflow that would be better? I'm curious to learn how people convert their (orchestral) music notation to finished and realistic sounding midi tracks in Logic using an orchestral sample library? I have Sibelius and I was hoping to use the Kirk Hunter Emerald library in EXS for the sounds.
