During my senior year of Berklee, I arranged this short string quartet based off of my cat Momo.
While working on this project, I was part of a small beta testing group for Ace Studio 2.0. After completing the score in Dorico, I imported the MIDI into Ace. The new modeled string instruments delivered convincing results with minimal tweaking. This workflow allowed me to spend more time writing and less time programming MIDI automation for the mockup, and several Ace elements were used in the final master.
