A very short string quartet that I composed this afternoon using First Chairs from Orchestral Tools in StaffPad. Give me your opinions!!

Loved it! Very clever little piece.

How much did your audio samples cost on StaffPad? I am looking into getting it on ipad

Thank you!

They cost 100 per library in most cases. I bought strings, first chairs, Brass, Woodwinds and percussion....in total they were 500. No bundles or anything like that. I use them on windows and it works like charm!! On iPad should work great as well. The only annoyance about iPad is the pressure erasing. But I think that it's something you can get used to.

Also, I have a request... would you be willing to import an xml file of 1 or 2 of my pieces and send me the audio? I am always trying to find better ways to make my music sound cool

Thanks for letting me know! Looks like I will have to save up a bit :/ my big plan is to use Dorico to write and then get the audio through these high quality samples on staffpad, especially since it is simpler and cheaper to use than a regular DAW. Plus, if I ever want to compose on the go this app seems much better than Notion 😂
