I tried turning things off in the mouse settings to no avail. But using 
a corded mouse solved the problem. I'll hassle with the Magic Mouse 
later (which is kind of nice.)

You didn't mention the Score Manager. I set all my volumes and pans there, and
that seems to work -- things like alto flute seem loud, but regular flute
doesn't. The initial samples definitely seem to be at unrealistic volumes, but
adjusting those in Score Manager appears to tame them for me. And, of course,
using the pan controls is really important to make some sense of the
soundstage you're making. I never use any of the other views, and balances are
not bad. I suppose it depends on how much accurate detail you want in your
demo.

[Finale] large ensemble balances

2016-11-12 Thread David Froom
Hello all,

I wonder if any among you are as frustrated as I am dealing with large ensemble 
balances. In orchestral settings, the brass and percussion especially tend to 
be way too quiet, and also seem to have far less of a dynamic range. 

It seems that using any of the mixers (studio view, mixer view, or Garriton 
Aria player view) is of minimal use, as those volumes get overridden by score 
markings. The only way around I have found is to clutter the score with 
invisible dynamics, while disabling the dynamics I know I will need to use for 
real performance. To a lesser extent, I this is a problem with articulations 
(but as those, even hidden, create layout problems, I am living without).

Can anyone give some general advice on dealing with this? Any general 
workarounds (short of creating a separate playback file)?

I guess what would be really cool is first, to consolidate the mixers into one 
place, and then to give mixing control that remains in the memory that works 
independent of score markings. Even better would be if Garriton were fixed to 
be better balanced in the first place!

Thank you in advance,
David Froom
