Hello again;
I looked at the Finale 2006 documentation, particularly at Chapter 17.
Latency is never addressed. I think they're refusing to admit that there is
a problem.
CPU processing time should not be relevant here, since I have a 3.2 GHZ
Pentium. If I had a slower CPU, the latency would become even longer.
One would think they should provide a way to correct for that. For instance
they could play the click a certain number of milliseconds early, or they
could store the MIDI events with an earlier time stamp. I didn't see a way to
offset the notes in the quantization menu. Quantizing it does NOT provide a
solution, since that will distort the intended result in many cases.
One could have a calibration step to determine what the latency is before
recording actual note events, and compensate accordingly.
I'm wondering why they don't TEST their software more thoroughly before
exposing us to these problems.
