Finale Forum

Ah, you must mean to reset the Finale preferences? Also, what did you make, if anything, of those error messages I was getting from Aria (see examples)?

I just changed it to piano as well, but still no audio. How do I go about reinstalling? They came with the overall installation of Finale, so I never installed them separately, if that makes a difference? Also, what do you mean by "trashing preferences"?

Okay, here is a brief excerpt from the piece, currently set for Garritan Steinway.

Does it matter what audio settings I use, or would you be changing them around anyway for testing?

By "Sample file", do you mean the score from which I'm working? Or a shortened version of it? Thanks.

If my device choice in Score Manager is SmartMusic Softsynth, then the piano plays. But the second I change it to Garritan instruments, the audio disappears. I tried bank 1 and 2, and it made no difference.

No, the other instruments don't seem to play. My pieces are all for piano two hands, but I just changed it to flute, and still no audio. Bank 2 is what was assigned when I chose the Garritan Steinway. What should the bank be? And what staff should it be assigned to in Score Manager?

So, I've tried everything I can think of, or saw online, but I can't get the Garritan Steinway audio for playback (see my text all the way below). When I try to import the instrument from Aria after clicking on the pencil icon in the Audio unit banks/effects, I get the following pop-up. Does anyone ...

My page is just getting off the ground, so it's not really a good example, but here's the link for the composers' index:

I'll add, that if I choose an option in the Audio bank other than Aria, it gives me audio during playback, but not the Steinway piano.

When I "reassign sounds", it removes the Garratin Steinway, reverts to the synth piano.

Hello all, am using an imac and Final 25. I've been wanting to change my Synth piano instrument choice to the Garritan Steinway option, and found what seems the way to do so. However, when I use Playback, the scroll bar moves through the score, but there is no audio. Here are the steps I went throug...

Okay, a quick update: I've found a way to change my Synth piano instrument choice to the Garritan Steinway option. However, when I use Playback, the scroll bar moves through the score, but there is no audio. Here are the steps I went through: Midi/Audio; Play Finale through Audio Units; Score Manage...

Well, I just spent a lot time giving you a reply, but I stuck in an URL, and the whole message disappeared. I don't have time to rewrite it at the moment, but I'll just say that I was in a similar position as you, and I had had some modest success with "mom and pop" publishers, finally decided to go...

So sorry, I've been remiss in replying to you all. I appreciate your replies! I'm currently switching over to the Garritan Steinway option, may have more questions after that (like, I've made the change, and now my audio won't play. I'm poking around on my own for the answer, but feel free to chime ...

Greetings all! I'm using Finale 25.something (not 100% sure, but I believe it's the most recent version, as I just bought it last year), on an iMac. I’m wanting to create several Mp3 files, using the MIDI piano instrumentation option on Finale, and to make them of the best quality possible. I’ve alr...
