@sundrowned - did you ever try the cth-470 ?It's a cheap bamboo pen and touch cth-460. I bought it off ebay for close to nothing specifically to try with staffpad. Panning works with a two finger swipe horizontally and vertically. It's not quite as snappy as I'd like so assigning 'pan and scroll' to one of the pen buttons worked really well. It also means not having to change pen position in my hand to swipe.
I also have a non touch bamboo ctl-470 and prefer it with that. I'm contemplating getting a touch cth-470 and trying it with that as well.
No, I just use the 460. But I don't use the multi touch function. Just the pen.@sundrowned - did you ever try the cth-470 ?
StaffPad libraries are included with the app. The other major sections are $99 each, so you're looking at $400 for a full third party orchestra. CineSamples libraries were just on sale for two months or so at 50% off. It stands to reason that they will do this again at some point. You can do a lot with the included samples and a third party string library. Berlin Strings would be my first choice, though I own and use them all. So with StaffPad and Berlin Strings, you're looking at less than $200.Does anyone know where I can view the full list and price of both the original/included samples of StaffPad and the 3rd party ones? I am having trouble finding it on the web. It sounds like I'll have to spend around $500 to $600 to get StaffPad with a full 3rd party orchestra? Are there any users that love StaffPad with the stock sounds?
I also wanted to ask about the new iPad Air vs iPad Pro for StaffPad, and if it is worth waiting 2 months for the new iPad Pro for StaffPad?
Any 11" iPad Pro users that love it and don't have or notice issues with limited screen size?
Thanks!
That is what I am doing. I am new to notation, could only read it a little bit before.Question to StaffPad users: would it be good as a learning tool? I mean learning and practicing notation for someone who has been composing only in DAW so far. I think it could be, especially because of the playback features, but I'm curious what's your opinion, maybe I'm missing some cons.
I agree , especially as you can write in bed , so liberating , no computer, no waiting for plugins to load no mixing , reverbs mikes etc. Just think of a part and write it down and instantly hear it back as good as your daw. It’s insanely more fun , no longer do you think about articulations and libraries and what would sound best , you just write .StaffPad is very sexy.
the pen slipping on the glass . I found the hardest thing ironically is inputting notes but I tend to find it’s quicker now to just copy and paste a few notes from existing and re-edit them . Double tapping bars is a good way to do thatI have been using staffpad for about a week, and so far it is good. I struggle a bit with getting staffpad to recognize my writing (I have a bit of essential tremors), but it’s gotten better. I am a bit better and faster relative to when I started. I don’t know if anyone started out similarly and has gotten really good and quick with staffpad. I found out that if you write the notes quickly as opposed to slowly and carefully, staffpad sometimes recognizes it better. Maybe that is just me?
I m going to continue to try. I don’t have a fully decked out orchestral library and a fast cpu, so I decided to go with this somewhat cheaper iPad route with staffpad to see if I can potentially compose. I bought all my stuff from private party to save money, and everything has been good so far except for the new/sealed airpod pro I paid $100 for . The airpod pros work so I’m using it for its function and trying to ignore a subtle tick on the right bud.
Try a screen protector like Paperlike.the pen slipping on the glass .
im using the cheaper bersem, and that is working fine so far.Try a screen protector like Paperlike.
Yes. I forgot to mention that. I have tried that, it will still export all instruments.Have you tried chosing the solo option for the instrument and then export it the usual way as a wav file?
Oh...that's actually a pretty good idea. Haha...why haven't I thought about this before. Thank you.I think before we had stem export, I used to mute all of the instruments but the one I was wanting to export, then export.... (not stems, but the entire file) I haven’t tried it now, but I suspect you could do that.
very expensive indeed
