Case Study: David Pritchard-Blunt achieves faster, more reliable music arrangement workflows with Avid Technology

Avid Sets the Score on The Voice and Australian Idol

David Pritchard-Blunt, musical director and arranger for shows like The Voice and Australian Idol, needed a fast, reliable way to rewrite and share orchestral arrangements for live TV and stage productions. Working with tight deadlines, changing keys and tempos, and collaborators in different locations, he relied on Avid Technology’s Sibelius software as part of the Avid Artist Suite to keep file sharing and notation workflows efficient.

Avid Technology helped Pritchard-Blunt streamline arrangement and collaboration with Sibelius and the Avid MediaCentral platform, enabling easy editing across Mac and PC, playback proofing, PDF output, and use with Avid Scorch on iPad. The result was faster turnaround, clearer scores, and dependable performance in live production environments, with the ability to update arrangements during rehearsals and keep productions moving smoothly.
