For continued development of finale plugins at this point -

One of the challenges in recording an orchestral synth out of Garritan is that you want to be able to export each track into a DAW separately - perhaps groups of instruments if not individual instruments themselves, as they might be mic'ed in an orchestral recording.

Naturally, you also want to be able to implement "human playback," so the performances are slightly nuanced and varied, emulating a human performance.

The problem is -- when you export various orchestral instrument tracks into a DAW like Pro-tools, the human playback not only forces variations in pitch but it also creates minute timing variations which makes it IMPOSSIBLE to line up an entire orchestral score with consistent timing, because -- theoretically, with each export, the "conductor" is conducting at slightly different and varying speeds with every "human playback" performance.

The ask here is that a plugin be created for human playback which allows for slight variations in the initial "clicktrack" to be locked for all subsequent exports. After all, it's called "production mode" or "production view," so here's to, with the limited onboard audio card functionality finale is designed for -- the purpose of this would be to be able to export, one at a time, each individual track for better mixing in the booth.

Thank you!
