The only way I get something that sounds acceptable is to export a song out of Finale via Midi file and then use something like Digital Performer or Logic. I have spent way too much time trying to get Finale to generate my arrangements correctly (which it never really does) and it is 5 times fas

I get uneven results from "Export to Audio" on WinFin 2011 and GPO. Sometimes fine, sometimes awful. I usually try it first, because it is faster than real time - then if it is less than successful I record real time to Audacity. Raymond Horton Bass Trombonist, Louisville Orchestra Minister of Mu

Sometimes it has seemed to me that the quality of the audio file under the Export Audio feature is not as good as if I use something like Wiretap to capture it as it plays live. Is that even technically possible, i.e. am I imagining that there's a difference? RH On May 14, 2012, at 10:09 AM,

Hi Finale Listers, This is an old capability, but I just learned about it now. An easy way to convert MIDI files to audio is to drag the MIDI file to iTunes and then convert to audio using the audio format of your choice. There's no editing, but sometimes you just want something quick. (I know

Hi Linda, The latest version of Encore does import musicXML files. It's not as developed as the MusicXML built into Finale and Sibelius. It will not import lyrics, chords symbols and many other elements. But it will give you notes and I believe articulations and some text much better than a M

Hi Chuck, When it's on (i.e., the button is solid blue instead of gray) "Test Setup" makes a noise somewhat like what you describe. If you turn it on, do you hear two separate chimes, or just the one? Cheers, - DJA - WEB: http://www.secretsocietymusic.org On 5 Oct 2011, at 9:01 PM, Chu

Hi Darcy, I think it started when I was messing with this and opened that window, and clicked "Test Setup". Now I can't seem to get rid of it. I opened that window again - selected and the deselected "Test Setup", and it still does it. Obviously - something I've done, but I don't know what.
