You're saying that Quicktime could output to a wave format?
I believe you could convert MIDI files to AIFF files using QuickTime
Pro -- or even (I think) iTunes. As I said, I'm not 100% sure about
this because I never tried it myself, but if I recall correctly, some
of the people on this list have done this.
. . . But without a mixer *in Finale*, it was
impossible to set appropriate levels for the individual instruments.
Impossible? How so? If Finale could play back through Quicktime
musical instruments, why couldn't you then set balances and edit
continuous data in Finale?
Well, okay, "impossible" is too strong a word, but having a proper
mixer is far preferable to editing continuous data, which is why it was
such a popular feature request.
Or, open your MIDI file in a real sequencer and tweak it to sound
good on Quicktime musical instruments, before using Quicktime to
create the wave output?
Yes, sure, that would work, but you could do that with the Finale Sound
Font too. A built-in mixer is useful in both cases for the same
reasons.
