Ha, the last post I made was very poorly worded. That's what I get for posting at 1:00 in the morning.

I'm running Finale 2005 on a G4 powerbook 1.33 GHz. I have the playback set to the Quicktime sounds, but every time I Save As Audio File... it uses the SoftSynth sounds. Is there anyway to Save As Audio using the Quicktime sounds?

Thanks,

Sadly I don't think it's possible.

Whenever I have wanted the Quicktime sounds for my files, I have saved it as a MIDI file, and then converted this to audio in Quicktime (which may be an exclusive Quicktime Pro feature). The playback is not as good as using the SoftSynth since you don't get the Human Playback features (I think). Nevertheless, it works.

Well damn, that's jacked up! If they're gonna pull stuff like that the least they could do is get a decent soprano saxophone sound. Cause damn. Ouch.

Yeah, I figured out a way around this. I took the export to midi approach... only slightly more complicated. I tried opening it in iTunes and converting it to AAC from there, but I got a weird error so I gave up that approach. Turns out Toast Titanium 6 can convert MIDI files to AIF format. Oddly enough it added some reverb, which boggles my mind. I don't mind it so much, I'm mostly just confused as to why it would do that... lol

Is it possible the reverb info was imbedded in the midi file when you exported it? Did you have any reverb in use in the original file?
