notation in rewire client for Acid 5? -ACID Product Family

Subject:notation in rewire client for Acid 5? Posted by: Hitime Date:1/3/2006 4:07:10 AM What would help me greatly is not to cycle between Sonar and Acid 5. A good notation rewire client woul;d solve my problem. Sonar is a much better Midi sequencer and has notation. Acid is much better at adusting tempo to fit music and grooving. Using Acid as a client to Sonar does not solve the problem because this switches off the video display Acid. Anyone know a good one?? thanks in advance

I'd like that too (that is, when I actually touch MIDI). I don't mind piano roll views myself, but I'm so used to staff notation it's hard to get myself acclimated to other forms.

I read standard notation fluently when playing instruments (flutes, keyboard etc), but recorded MIDI ends up with too many odd ties and bits of notes to be of much use - unless you want to quantise everything exactly. The piano roll approach is much better because you can have notes that start or end slightly before or after a beat or beat subdivision, and they are easy to read, when they would be a complete mess in notation. That said, users of Acid probably make a lot of music that is squarely quantised, so a OMF notation plugin would be nice.

I'm all for improvements in ACID even if I don't make use of all of them. I'm not a great fan of having to switch between hosts. It just seems archaic to me. I can't imagine users of Cubase, Sonar or Logic bothering with that sort of thing.
