Hello Everyone,
I got a small, but nethertheless annoying problem with my Sibelius playback (with Sibelius Sounds), when it comes to play staccato brass (i.e. trumpets & trombones, i do a lot of bigband stuff)... At a certain point (without changing anything or adding a midi controller entry), Sibelius begins to play these notes with max. 10% volume (sounds like ppp) :? so you won´t hear it anymore in a whole-band-situation. As said, no specific expression text or controller entry. When I reload the session or the whole Program, it plays normal staccato.Seems like a bug to me, does anybody know how to fix it ??
Working on MacBook 2,3 i5 with Sib 7.1.3.
Thanks in advance!
Heiner

In the Play tab, turn off "Live Playback". If you are using "Velocities", they will be canceled, but it may help you find the problem. Sibelius is not a DAW. Yes, it has certain midi capabilities, but I wouldn't at all depend on them because this is not a playback based software. There are other ways to get good playback.
