Any happy Finale 27 users of VSL Libraries?

Has anybody had experiences with VSL's "Finale Human Playback Preferences for Synchronized Special Editions" or "Finale 25-27 Keyswitch Dump for All VSL Libraries"?

Any users enjoying established smooth and stable operation in Finale 27 with VSL Special Editions, synchronized ones or not?

Re: 2014.5 on W11 PC with Realtek Audio

Mystery of slow launching seems to be solved! Choosing Direct X instead of ASIO in the Finale Audio Device Set up solved the problem and now Finale launches as quickly as it used to with the W10 PC. Seeing the Realtek sound scheme imposed ASIO and 48 000 Hz with no choice, I had previously chosen AS...

Re: 2014.5 on W11 PC with Realtek Audio

On immediate relaunch...no, it's not quick! Maybe a liiiitle bit quicker, maybe not even that. ...and yes, it was a default installation and the excluded folder address is C:\Program Files (x86)\Finale 2014.5. The others are files: .exe and .dll files of Aria. Actually, before this PC, I always stuc...

Re: 2014.5 on W11 PC with Realtek Audio

Thank you! To the Windows Defender Antivirus Exclusion List, I added Finale 2014.5 folder (later I also tried the Finale.exe file) and various Aria .dll and .exe files and rebooted. The loading time seems to have remained the same. Possibly I neglected adding some files to the list or did something ...

2014.5 on W11 PC with Realtek Audio

I wanted to see if 2014.5 would install and work on my new PC, operating on newly migrated Windows 11. It turned out that the Realtek audio on the PC allowed two alternatives, only: 16 bit 48 000 hz or 24 bit 48 000 Hz. I updated the Aria Player and Engine to Version 1.959 and chose 48 000 Hz as the...

Re: Copy paste from 2014 to 2014.5

Thank a lot for the information! Meanwhile, I checked to see if it was actually a totally false memory...and no, it wasn't!

Re: Copy paste from 2014 to 2014.5

Thank you! That is what I'm doing at the moment. I just wondered if I had started acquiring false memories. :)

I remember enjoying the practicality of both files open at the same time. Probably I'm confusing with working in Notion.

Copy paste from 2014 to 2014.5

I remember it was possible to copy (e.g. a couple of measures ) from a file open in 2014 and paste it to one in 2014.5 or vv. It didn't work this time, do I remember it wrong?

(Accidentally posted this in Printmusic first, sorry!)

Re: Noise in Export

Hi Adrian,

I'm assuming you've already raised the volume in the Score Manager and in the Banks and Effects Dialog Box...

Copy your Oboe to Layer 2 (and 3...) on the staff.

I hope this solves the problem.

Re: How to get the most out of JABB

Actually, a lengthy discussion has taken place in the old Makemusic Garritan forum triggered by the same "screaming trumpets" audio. Lots of detail on how to make better use of JABB and other Garritan sounds.

I remember having had to use, for the same reason, a bass trombone soundfont (I believe it was a Sonatina Orchestra soundfont) I had brought as dowry when moving over to Finale, instead of the GPO one.

Thanks for the replies! That's exactly why I use the built-in feature to load an mp3 file into Finale. By far the easiest and technologically least demanding approach.

Re: YouTube errors when Finale is on

It seems I have the inverse problem. Finale errors if I'm using Utube at the same time. Whenever I move back and forth between using Finale (Windows, 2014/2014.5) and listening to vids on the Tube, soon Finale goes into a partial freeze: playback keeps working but virtually everything else is dead w...

Re: Selection tool doesn't work - Ver. 2014.5 - Mac

I have a similar problem with 2014.5/Windows. Rather frequently I experience a partial freeze, I find that I am unable to select anything (like for instance Simple Entry, Time Signature Tool, etc) and it is only the Playback that remains operating. Closing the open file and reopening it always solve...

Re: Audio Engine failed to load Error code 7)

Follow up: Uninstalling and reinstalling (from the Lenovo site) the audio drive did not work. At the first trial the 2014 additionally produced the notification: "One or more MIDI devices not working" (or something like that :) ).

I use no MIDI keyboard/controller etc, if that's relevant information.
