Barb Levy queried: OK, I've read the manual, both OLD and paper, followed the directions, and still cannot enter notation using my clarinet with either Speedy Entry or Hyperscribe. I can set volume level in the "Enable MicNotator" window with no problems, and, yes, I checked the "Enable MicNotator" box.
What, pray tell, am I not doing that I should be doing (or doing that I shouldn't be doing)? To which David Bailey replied: First off, mic-notator isn't supposed to work with speedy entry. That is a note-by-note entry method, where you can use a midi-keyboard to specify the pitch and the computer keyboard to specify the duration, or you can use only the computer keyboard to specify both pitch and duration. ---- My response: Actually MicNotator does work with Speedy Entry as I've proven to my own satisfaction (Win 98SE, Fin 2003, Buffet clarinet), but it will only do so with the MicNotator window open. It is not possible to have it open using Hyperscribe, but then I have no success entering notation the way the OLD describes. Zip, zilch. Now my Behringer XM 2000S microphone is no world beater, but it works for all the other applications I need it for (primarily Cakewalk). I will borrow a better mic and see if that gives better results as David suggests, but I suspect that his jaundiced view that MicNotator is "one of those marketing-guys add-ons to the program in an effort to suck in a broader user-base, but which doesn't work very well in practice" is not too far off the mark.
