Unfortunately the tech person you talked doesn't know much. The A/D format isn't something you can chose. It's not like sample rate. The bit depth is only a file format. Your 2048 A/D is 20-bit (24-bit if mark-ii). That is a spec of the converter. When you track with DP, you have a choice to write the file in 24-bit or 16-bit. "Finale only wants 16-bit" doesn't make sense. Have you tried trashing Finale pref as I suggested? In you crash log, this appears in line 2: 2 ...u.driver.PCIAudio.HALPlugIn 0x0799df8c PlugInDevice::GetProperty (unsigned long, bool, unsigned long, unsigned long*, void*) + 384 In my guess, what this is telling you is Finale is calling PCI424 driver then receives something Finale doesn't understand and crashes. You should also try assign Built-in under AMS to see if Finale still crashes. -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Boston, MA <http://a-no-ne.com> <http://anonemusic.com> _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
