[Finale] Input via microphone jack
Does anyone know of a way to input notes into Finale via the microphone input in a PowerBook? I have a converter that can go from guitar to mike input, and I want to play a guitar part into Finale so it'll sound more realistic than just keying in the notes.

Isn't that what MicNotator is all about? I have never used it, probably never will, and doubt that this is a very efficient way to enter music, but that's what I understand it does. Although... You say that you want Finale to _sound_ more realistic. I am not sure what you are after. If you want to make an audio recording then you should use such software. Finale cannot do that (why would it?). But then I may be misunderstanding you.

First bit of information needed, is what version of Finale you are running. MIC-Notator is only two or three versions old. I have been able to sing notes (though not reliably enough for notation work) using a very inexpensive microphone plugged into the MIC input of the sound card, but I'm on a PC, not a MAC, for which there may or may not be hardware issues I'm not prepared to address. ns ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

MicNotator is in my version. I'll try it. Thanks! --Lynn ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
Re: [Finale] Input via microphone jack
You could, theoretically, obtain a more realistic-sounding MIDI file for Finale to use for playback purposes using a MIDI-equipped guitar for input. Of course, it would play back using Finale's softsynth guitar, but strumming etc. would sound more idiomatic than if you'd just entered the notes in Simple or Speedy. However, I doubt very, very much that Lynn will get anything resembling satisfactory results with MicNotator. What she really needs for this task is a guitar with a MIDI interface, and even then, it might not be worth all the extra effort. - Darcy - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Brooklyn, NY On 10 Jun 2005, at 5:43 AM, Johannes Gebauer wrote: Isn't that what MicNotator is all about?
