If you're going to be writing music for Film, TV and multimedia you absolutely must be able to create mockups in a DAW. You could export the best sounding instruments of Noteperformer out of Sibelius and then put them in your DAW and do the rest with sample libraries (like u/Nobrr does).įinally, you need to decide if learning to do mockups is right for you and your career. However, by no means do you need to take an exclusive approach to this. If you aren't satisfied with the results from Noteperformer and are will to spend the time and money going down the rabbit-hole of doing mockups, go ahead (although you could also hire someone else to do a mockup for you if didn't have the time). In the end it comes down to time and money, if you don't have the time or money to commit to learning a new skill, I'd stick with Noteperformer. Noteperformer on the other hand is much cheaper and doesn't require much time at all to get a good result. However, the DAW version took many more hours to achieve and has the additional cost of all the software and sample libraries used.

I'm going to link to versions of the Title Theme from Star Wars, one which is done in a DAW and the other done with Noteperformer.īoth of these are very usable and sound far superior than General MIDI sounds, although to me the DAW version sounds fuller, richer and better balanced (Blake Robinson writes trailer music for a living so he's incredibly good at it). The benefit of Noteperformer (as you would already know) is that you can focus solely on composing in your notation software, not having to worry about working in a DAW, and still end up with a decent sounding mockup that you can show to people. Also, the more instruments in the ensemble, the longer the mockup will take. Getting the MIDI data out of Sibelius and into a DAW is easy enough, but tweaking and crafting the performance in a DAW to make it sound good is a time consuming process that takes serious effort to learn.

You won't know if it's right for you until you try it.ĭoing mockups in a DAW is a really an additional skillset to writing in a notation program.

If you don't have the desire to learn you could always just hire someone else to do mockups for you.

If you want to work in Film and TV you need to learn how to do mockups in a DAW.

You need to decide if you want to spend the time and money getting good at doing mockups in a DAW and if it's right for your desired career path.

While a mockup done in a DAW can sound better than Noteperformer (although Noteperformer still sounds very good), the DAW version is more expensive in terms of both hours spent and money spent on software and sample libraries.

Doing mockups in a DAW is a separate skillset that people spend years learning to do professionally.
