Sib and Dorico both have different workflows. So, its important – like Dan Kreider said – not to compare Sib and Dorico as you could compare Microsoft Office and Open Office. I think here we all know about (dis)advantages of Sib. I’m not a Grand Master like pianoleo or a Grand Senior Member like Dan Kreider, I’m »just« a former Sib user who joined to Dorico – for some reasons. Naturally I have an elicencer but not for the laptop which is USB3 anyway, so I can see some pain coming there straight away!! Things like dongles and 2 machine use (workstation and laptop ) are important as well of course. So I am just asking Steinberg forum people, ie yourselves! can you respond with some useful comments that I can take on board in making this choice. There’s a competivie crossgarde thing which might help too. So I am seriously thinking of bailing and Dorico seems a reasonable option. In some ways I want to dump them just on principle. But having recntly bought a new laptop with Catalina - I find that I cannot run it due to 32bit authorization prog issues - and Avid are insisting on big bucks to get the newer one (which is pretty much the same anyway as Sib7).Īnd I really hate being forced onto subscription. I’m a long long time Cubase user, but never used the score editor - and it still seems somewhat pants. The moderator may throw this out I don’t know!! … but… it’s currently Nov 2020 and the reviews I’ve seen are a little long in the tooth.
