I seriously doubt that Finale will come anywhere close to Digital
Performer finding tempo. I'd be really surprised if it did. And what
about all the infinite tweaking you can do in DP?
Heck, their SmartMusic program with the slowdown feature sounds
terrible. Slow down something in that, and immediately it sounds poor.
Yet, the same MP3 in Transcribe or Amazing Slowdowner sounds fine.
I'm not holding out too much for that "feature"

The "Import Audio" feature will be a big help to me. As stated in the
preview: "import a stereo mix of your rock band to add a horn
arrangement." This is exactly the type of thing that I do all the
time. In the past I've had to do my horn arrangement in Digital
Performer when the client sends me an MP3 of the basic track to work
with. Then I'd have to start over from scratch in Finale in order to
create the parts for printing. I just hope that Finale does a better
job than DP of determining the tempo of the audio file. I found that
in DP I usually had to manually tap in the tempo from start to finish.
