to compete with finale, it would be great if a future version of Dorico could have at least 2 tracks of live audio (for vocals and/or electric guitar, etc.) . . . this would not be intended to make Dorico into a DAW, as obviously in a DAW you can have multiple live audio tracks and all kinds of effects added to them, etc. . . . more the idea would be that Cubase is for final production of projects, but Dorico stand-alone could be used for scoring, orchestral production, and singer-songwriter demo projects only without the need for Cubase . . . I know that offering 2 tracks of live audio might be a big step up for Dorico, but it is something that Finale offers currently and something that Dorico could shoot for in version 5 release if they start planning for it now . . . again, this is not meant to be a substitute for Cubase, but would help expand Dorico's stand-alone ability a lot and help it to beat out Finale, especially for singer-songwriter types who want for example, a live guitar on one track and a solo voice only on the other track, alongside the MIDI files of Dorico, these users could do the whole project inside of Dorico instead of having to start in Dorico and then export to Cubase to finish out . . . also, the ease of use (sharing effortlessly, like almost natively upon opening files in either application, if enabled for that ability) between Dorico and Cubase could def be a move in the right direction for version 5, much the same way that a noteflight project can be opened in soundtrap DAW and it just opens right up without any hassle in the other application when opening and checking "Open in Soundtrap" . . . these are some visionary ideas for the future of Dorico and Cubase by looking at what other competing products are offering that Steinberg's products can't do right now, but easily could do in the future if they chose to work in that direction, and I wish them good luck in it to make their products even better
