To record
an audio track
- From the View menu, choose Studio View.
Audio tracks are only visible in Studio View.
- From the Document menu, choose Playback/Record Options. Ensure "Chase from First Measure" is selected under the Dynamics and Markings
popup menu. Click OK.
- From the MIDI/Audio menu, choose Audio Track,
then Add Audio Track. An audio track appears above your instrument
staves, and below the TempoTap staff.
- Choose the HyperScribe Tool
. At this point the steps are basically the same
as recording a HyperScribe session.
- From the HyperScribe menu, choose Beat Source,
then Playback and/or Click. Click the pop-up menu to the right of Start Signal
for Recording and choose None (Record Immediately). This setting tells
Finale to begin recording using the number of countoff measures specified
in the Click and Countoff dialog box.
- Click the first measure, listen to two bars
of metronome clicks, then begin recording into the microphone.
- When you are done, click the score to stop
the recording. The audio you just recorded is visible in the audio
track. Click Play in the Playback Controls to listen to your document.
Click on the audio track again to record over the original recording. If there is a delay in the transmission from the microphone to your computer, you can adjust the audio latency to resolve the difference in all future recordings. See To Correct Audio Recording Latency
Finale allows a single audio track in any
document. For more advanced options, such as editing the reverb of the
audio file or recording multiple voices; use audio editing software, save
as anAIFF, and import the audio file into
a Finale document's audio track. See Audio.
