For decades I have gone into my favorite recording studio with MIDI files made from Finale--usually orchestra scores.
When the MIDI files have been imported into ProTools, they come through with tempos intact, the order of the instruments intact, and even the instrument names. I'm now working in a newer version of Finale (mac 2012) and the MIDI files are a mess. The instrument order is scrambled, and none of them carry the instrument names... which we use to cue in overdubs, crossfade, fixes, etc. I am simply converting the Finale file to standard MIDI as I have always done, but for some reason they come through completely garbled. The tempos seem OK, so we can use it as a tempo map, but the rest is a mess. Usually we can "see" the instruments and groups "coming up" on the screen during playback. Are any of you familiar with this process? Also, when I convert the MIDI file BACK to Finale, I get the same thing. Instrument sounds are mis-applied and the score order is totally screwed. I'm hoping there's an expert out there who can help... in any case, HELP!
