    Well, Dietz is a die hard Nuendo user and I am just used to "Sequiatude". In the end it all comes down to personal preferences and likings. And experience.

    I'm not sure if Dietz is talking of an older version of Sequoia when he talks about

    AFAIK Sequoia doesn't offer any serious scoring tools, and the implementation of virtual instruments is not as streamlined as in Steinberg's new products.

    Sequoiatude made a vast progress over the last two versions in terms of Midi. Sure, I guess it still can learn something from Cubase etc., but I don't see any "serious scoring tool" missing. What specifically do you mean, Dietz?
    And, yes, the VSTi implementation was quite bumpy for quite some time. But V9 works like a charm here. Too bad they don't have a V9 demo out, yet.

    Related to this, how well does the VI work with either of these programs? (I'm assuming you erstwhile chaps at VSL have tested this.)


    I'm surprised that Dietz can't answer specifically if they tested their VI's in Sequioatude.

    Maybe I missed something important, but I have to admit that I never saw a print-out-ready scoring window inside Sequoia ("Noten", we would say in German).

    To address your second question: Although Sequoia is used extensively for audio-work within the Company, I don't think that many people here use it for MIDI. I'll ask around, if you want, or even better - you could pose this question in our main forum to achieve higher visibilty of the thread.

    Ah, I see, you meant the actual notes. I thought you meant film scoring... [:P]

    But hey, which sequencer has a serious scoring tool? Once you got used to something like Sibelius every sequencer's score looks like shit.

    Ne'er a truer word written! If only Sibelius could behave as a professional sequencer as well as a brilliant score-writer.

    Mathis,
    could i trouble you a little further and ask what sort of rig you're running Samplitude on? From what i can see in their forum, the requirements are fairly modest, compared to other programs. I also noted with interest that there are some challenges with particular control surfaces. Do you use one, and if so, what's your experience been?

    Dietz, is it possible you have found out if any of your colleagues are using the Midi side of Sequoia, and impressions of what it's like to work with? I'm willing to give up my precious EXS instruments if the workflow is efficient enough. (Oh for a windows version of the EXS24, like it used to be.)

    Regards,

    Alex.

    Through this post by Peter I saw this question, sorry, slipped through back then. My setup is a P4, 2.8GHz, 2GB RAM. My real bottleneck is the PCI bus. On my system all the harddiscs still are connected to the PCI bus and not directly at the Southbridge (or North-, not sure right now), freeing up the PCI bus like on newer systems.
    I don't use a hardware controller.

    Peter, I actually have Overture since my GPO buy but it didn't really do it for me. On Sibelius I was hooked in half an hour.
