Hi Darcy,
I think that to solve your problem, you may have to learn a few more
software programs. I think that HP is responsible for your differences
in takes. Audio drift would be much more subtle (phasing maybe, but
not off by whole beats).
Randolph,
Audio drift in GPO is, unfortunately, *not* subtle -- like I said, when
GPO gets overloaded, it drops *lots* of frames -- often entire beats,
sometimes entire bars. So I think it's possible that even with the
vastly reduced workload (22.05 KHz, 8 instruments at a time), it's
still dropping enough frames to make a difference.
But I agree that HP is also a likely culprit
I would recommend that you first get a MIDI file of one HP take. Then
put it into a sequencer and divide up your audio lode from there.
Because the split audio parts would be based on the same HP take, they
should line up better.
Many sequencing programs handle the MIDI and the Audio making the job
easier (Logic Express, Digital Performer), but if you want a free,
open source sequencer, you could try PlayerPro:

Thanks for the advice, Randolph, but I *really* don't want to start
messing around with sequencers. (In the long run, I suppose I may not
have a choice, but for now, I'd rather just line things up in
Audacity.)
It occurs to me that I might possibly get better results by *not*
muting/soloing any tracks in Finale, but instead playing back the full
file through several different GPO studio setups (i.e., one that
contains only ww's, one that contains only brass, etc). That way, HP
should still (theoretically) take into account all staves, and I should
get identical (or close-to-identical) renditions even on multiple
"takes."
