Steinberg’s product marketing manager Daniel Spreadbury returns to the podcast to discuss Dorico 6 and its bevy of features for music composers and preparers. Daniel talks in-depth with Philip Rothman and David MacDonald about a few of the headline items, especially those that are unique to Dorico. The new proofreading tool continuously scans a project looking for potential pitfalls, and the cutaway scores feature makes quick work of what was once a tedious effort. We explore those key elements of Dorico 6 along with cycle playback, grids, fill view, chord symbols, and more, learning more about their origins and what’s planned for the future.
We also reflect with Daniel about the software’s trajectory in the past decade. Dorico has gotten ever more capable in the audio area in recent years, more deeply integrated with Cubase, Steinberg’s digital audio workstation, and Daniel takes us behind the scenes to tell us about the decisions and development plans in those areas. Finale’s end has also brought challenges and opportunities for the Dorico team, and we discuss how Steinberg’s partnership with MakeMusic and its endorsed path to Dorico has influenced the product’s direction over the past year.

Great podcast. Always good to hear DS in interview, the enthusiasm is infectious. I had to drive to Calgary for rehearsals and it’s a drive of 1:30. Your podcast was the perfect companion! Thank you all.
Philip Rothman
Thanks, Claude!

As always, Daniel does a great interview, as do Philip and David. It is a wonderful opportunity to get such a high level overview of what Dorico is up to.
My favorite part, though, was the very end, sort of like the end credits of a movie. “How many time have you thrown to your own ad, Philip?” Sounds like things were pretty loose and fun!
Philip Rothman
Thanks for listening all the way to the very end :-)
