Re: Trumpets sound flat
The tpt pitch sounds fine, but it's kind of buried in the Mix. Some instruments in Garritan libraries are way too soft. Some are way too loud. To control the sound better on some instruments, I place them in their own Aria banks and adjust the sound with the volume settings on the far left of each ...

Re: Trumpets sound flat
I've used GPO5 and COMB2 for many years. Only recently I tried NotePerformer. I love it. I use NotePerformer for all my music now, but not exclusively. I use GPO5 for its percussion sounds, especially cymbals and snare drum.How do the sounds in NotePerformer compare with those in Garritan?

Re: articulation and slurs - playback with NotePerformer
I routinely use NP3 with GPO5 percussion instruments with no problems. I prefer the GPO5 percussion instrument sounds.

Re: Can't hear clash cymbals
Are you using the Aria player? Put the crash cymbals in its own bank and then raise the bank volume.

Re: youtube
I see you use a Mac and Mojave. Have you tried the screen recording function (full screen, window or selection) which is now available (since Mojave) with Shift+Cmd+5 (on the main keyboard) ? No. Haven't tried it. Recording the whole screen wouldn't work for this kind of application. I think focusi...

Re: youtube
I post scores on YouTube a little differently. It's probably unnecessarily more complicated, though. I play back and record the piece first as an AIFF (Mac) file. Then I create individual score page PDFs, and load them into iMovie. When I worked in Windows, I did the same thing in MovieMaker, but at...

Re: Tips for structuring practice session
My thing is I am bad at telling others what to do. How can I make these sessions effective? It’s tricky for me to know exactly what to focus on. That's why teachers make lesson plans--outlines and objectives of what they want to accomplish in a day, week, month, and semester. Write down some of the...

Re: Any way to dampen sustain of pitched percussion?
Along the lines of hidden staccato notes, you might also copy the staccato mark and then redefine it to a shorter or longer length. I've done this, both hiding and showing the mark. This can be time-consuming in a large score with many staves requiring the adjustment. I don't know why it's not playi...

Re: Any way to dampen sustain of pitched percussion?
The "Percent Alter" is grayed. What did I overlook? It's been a while since I worked in Windows, so the steps may be slightly different. However, as I recall, the steps are the same. Th first step: With selection tool, I just drag the cursor to highlight the note(s) I want to alter. In the MIDI Too...

Re: Any way to dampen sustain of pitched percussion?
I've used oldmkvi's staccato dot and line-dot suggestion, both with hidden and visible accents. To shorten a note's duration, select the note(s), and then bring up the MIDI Tool. Click "Note Durations," and then "Percent Alter." Enter a number. See if that works. I use this technique so often that I...

Re: Unable to apply dynamics to Oohs and Aahs
Are you using the term "channels" interchangeably with "layers"? I suppose channels and layers could be interchangeable, but in most of my scores, they are not. Have you tried moving all the music from channels 1 and 2 to 3, or keeping all the music on channel 1 (and, of course, making the appropri...

Re: Unable to apply dynamics to Oohs and Aahs
I have no idea why, but I've often experienced the same thing on layer 2--dynamics don't work. Have you had similar results using channels 3 and 4? Channel 3 has been my workaround in this situation.

Re: Skipping on playback
Update: I changed the sample rate from 96000 Hz to 44100 Hz. I don't remember why or when I set it at 96000. Nevertheless, no skipping at 44100, so far. All's working well.

Re: Skipping on playback
I know. Look farther down.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to eliminate the skipping? I should add that the skipping also occurs in the Finale 26.1 demo.
Thanks.

Re: Skipping on playback
My understanding is that Finale 25.5 is compatible with Mojave--not compatible with Catalina. Everything else works fine.Evidently your vision of Finale is not compatible with Mojave.
Where would I find "Mike's comments in general"?

I'm working on an iMac in Mojave 10.14.6, 16 GB of RAM. Finale 25.5 with HP on, using GPO5 and COMB2 instruments. I've been getting a lot of skipping on playback using playback controls. There is no skipping when I export an audio file and play it back. Sample rate is set at 96000 Hz, and buffer siz...
