Yes, and even better than having it 'in your ear,' you can layout the existing recording side-by-side with the Finale MIDI in a program like SONAR and then massage the MIDI beats to exactly line up with the recording. For rubatic chamber music that goes a long way to making a convincing MIDI. I did that for Editions Orphee who put out a flute-viola-guitar version of a Debussy flute-viola-harp piece. I am by no means a pro at that and this was a one-time project, but I was pleased with the results. Here are links to the final mp3s - all from Finale MIDI and soundfonts: http://www.yatesguitar.com/misc/01-Pastorale-V-G-F.mp3 http://www.yatesguitar.com/misc/02-Interlude-V-G-F.mp3 http://www.yatesguitar.com/misc/03-Final-V-G-F.mp3 _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
