[Finale] Finale on G5

2006-05-23 Thread Lawrence David Eden
My trusty Mac clone died a sudden death yesterday so I am in the market for a new model. I need some info from my colleagues on this list. Does Finale run on the new Intel based G5? Will I be able to use my Kawai K-11 MIDI keyboard if I buy a USB interface? Can I use my old Apple LaserSelect

[Finale] Synchronisation of Finale playback with video

2006-05-23 Thread Christopher Smith
To the collective wisdom, I had a question from a student who is working on a student film. She wants to synchronise video playback (I think she has QuickTIme files) with Finale's playback, so that she can compose directly to image as if she was using a sequencer. I don't know if this is

I hate to mention the OTHER competition but the latest version of Sibelius (version 4) does this now. You can sync up video with music on the same screen within the program and compose along side it as well. ___ J. Scott Jones

Woohoo. Compared to programs like Logic and Digital Performer, Sibelius's video syncing is lame. Scott Jones wrote: I hate to mention the OTHER competition but the latest version of Sibelius (version 4) does this now. You can sync up video with music on the same screen within the program

Also, G5 prices should lower considerably once the new models come out (if they haven't already - I haven't checked). The best deals will probably be on slightly used G5s belonging to owners who feel compelled to upgrade anyway. I try to buy a machine (and software) that will work well for me
