![]() ![]() Wait, what is this about “Dorico Pro”, you ask? Yes, that’s right - The plain-vanilla “Dorico” moniker is retired with the 1.x version (something we wish Avid had done when moving to their new naming scheme with Sibelius). Daniel gives further context on this in today’s blog post announcing Dorico Pro and Elements: “It was always our intention that big new Dorico releases should come in the spring or early summer.” Surprise!Īmong the good reasons to push out Dorico 2 earlier, though - not the least of which is the opportunity to charge for an update - is the introduction of Dorico Elements, which is a new offering that Steinberg says “packs all of the essential power and time-saving features of Dorico Pro into a smaller, simpler package, suitable for use at home and by students in secondary education.” In order to make this new “junior” product attractive to its intended user base, having it available well in advance of the fall, before students go back to school, is a wise move. Yet here we are just days away from June and there had been no new entries in the development diary - until today. So one could understandably infer that such a major release wouldn’t come until the fall, like we saw with Dorico 1.0, and preceded by Daniel’s development diary entries. I plan to tell you a bit more about some of the things we’re working on for this new release in a new installment in the development diary series in early Spring, all being well. The team is already hard at work on the next Dorico release, which will be available later in 2018… the next release will be a paid update for existing users, but the update cost will be modest, and we will pack as many features and improvements into that release as we can. At the time of the last update - Dorico 1.2.10, which was made available barely three months ago - Steinberg product marketing manager Daniel Spreadbury told us: Strictly speaking, it will come as no revelation that a major update to Dorico was due to arrive sometime this year. If today’s news that Steinberg released Dorico 2 - with its long list of new features - resulted in you doing a double-take with your morning coffee, you’re not the only one that was surprised. ![]() ![]() Read about the updates to Dorico since then: Note: This post about Dorico 2.0 is from May 2018. ![]()
