Compositions on Staffpad.

@jaredarnold , I may be misunderstanding your situation, but here is a possible workaround. Prepare two versions of your score, one for printing and the other for audio. Remove the printed dynamic indications in the audio version, and make volume adjustments in the automation layer at sections where you cannot reconcile the difference between the samples at different expression dynamics.
Would this help?

I often adjust the expression layer/curve, when the dynamics are written. I find mp and mf often to loud. Sometimes I also adjust the volume layer/curve. Its more work but gives a better result.

If Staffpad is really having an update and will have support updates in the future, I hope they will update the 3rd part libraries and ad more layers. With the new more powerful M1 Ipad or is it M2, it should be possible. It could be an amazing play back.
Maybe the system already is so good that its a to big a competition for Vst libraries on computers, so they hold back……..just a thought.

Doing Corona lock down in 2020 I composed "Love poem" for Violin and Harp.
'Last week it was performed in Hamburg by Duo_Sorores.
Here is the live version and the Staffed version....

Written in StaffPad! Only light layering of the strings in the DAW

So I guess, 'written' in, but not 'produced' in Staffpad? It sounds good.

Mostly produced in StaffPad. The string layer is really just that one ostinato line. I then added just subtle saturation. Everything else, reverbs, etc. is StaffPad

What about sharing some Christmas Staffpad compositions and arrangements....

Here is a short orchestral Christmas jingle.

Okay, here is mine. As a tradition, I like to do a new StaffPad Christmas composition every year. This one was played by the Scarborough Philharmonic earlier this month and the Savannah Philharmonic Orchestra is playing it this Saturday! I hope you enjoy listening to it.

Happy Holidays!

To follow through on my promise from last year - I have completed my arrangement of J.Sibelius' "Giv mig ej glans, ej guld, ej prakt" for SATB choir and string orchestra. The a cappella version took me about a month to write last year, and with this one I started working in September, I believe. As a side, of course, from my day-to-day work and numerous other activities and hassles. It's finally finished, though and I am quite happy with it. The plan was to write a string texture around the previous a cappella that doesn't necessarily copy the lines, but carefully weaves around and between them all the while paying attention to the harmony so that the two things fit together nicely. The choir is played back with stock english horns and bassoons, while the orchestra is mostly Muse strings with the occasional Spitfire Symphonic Strings thrown in to get senza vibrato and flautando articulations. Happy listening and have a joyful Christmas-time!
