So the workflow would be something like:
- Write score by hand/In notation software
(notation software provides MIDI mockup)
- Take the more prominent instruments and record them live (strings, brass)
- Using MIDI, record the less prominent instruments (some percussion, woodwinds, keyboards) in DAW such as Logic and create an audio file from it.
- In DAW, combine the two elements and mix.
- Possibly send to sound engineer for further mastering.
Couldn't combining live and MIDI elements be a potential timing nightmare? How exactly do you line everything up?
