Just an FYI note.
I recently updated to Finale 2008 for my Intel Mac. I sent the
following bug report to MakeMusic:
After updating to Finale 2007 (I described my system) I find I no
longer have right channel audio output in several situations within
Finale. I do have full left and right channel output from anything
external to Finale, including normal QuickTime player playback,
Kontakt 2 or Kontakt Player 2 output, Logic Pro output or anything else.
The problem only occurs when playing back within Finale, in the
following circumstances:
Using "Play Finale Through MIDI" and selecting SmartMusic SoftSynth
Playback
Using "Play Finale Through Audio Units" and selecting any method
(including Kontakt2, KontaktPlayer2, and SmartMusicSoftSynth)
The problem does *not* however occur when using QuickTime Playback -
in that case both channels play as expected.
I have messed with every possible setting that I am aware of within
Finale and the respective Kontakt and SmartMusic players - to no
avail. I did not have this problem before updating to Finale 2008
(from 2007 on the same computer.)
This is *quite* annoying to say the least, and severely limits my
ability to use Finale. Your help would be most appreciated.
Their response:
This is a known issue at this time. Our developers are aware of this
and working on a fix for this issue. Thank you for reporting this.
So if you were tearing your hair out over this (I was for several
hours) - don't bother! Hopefully this fix will come quicker than
many other outstanding bugs... :( I don't know if this affects
only Mac or only Intel Mac, but it was definitely new to Finale 2008.
