Does anyone else have issues with Finale 3D introducing audio glitches into playback of their songs/tracks? They don’t seem to be present on the source audio, through multiple other players, but typically around the time that audio data starts or stops (meaning at the beginning of, end of, or before/after silence *between* tracks which I have externally joined), I seem to have about a 50% chance of an annoying digital glitch on playback, every time, even if I quit and re-start Finale.

Hi, I’m Dusty 👋 I live in the Midwest US, between Omaha and Kansas City. Fireworks are a passion & hobby for me, I shoot a large 1.4 Pro + 1.3G show for friends & family each year and participate in club events with KCAP. Finale 3D has helped me take my shows to the next, next, next level!

Is there a reason the winda/wizard 1.3G products are not in the catalog?  Will they be uploaded? or am I not doing something to see them?  I only see cakes not shells

This person has put together 46 entry’s on you tube so you could at least see those.

Hello all, My name is Tim and I am a hobbyist that fell in love with fireworks as a child. I created a fireworks presentation for school in1996 in my PowerPoint class. I have been learning ever since.

Hi all, I hope the team reviewing the submissions are enjoy every bit. I had a great time creating my submission. After, the finalist are select will we be able to view all the shows? Also, how many submissions where there this year?   My family and I are planning a weekend trip this year to see the finalists. Can’t wait to see everything live.   Tim

Fantastic. Thanks for the quick response Drew. I would have never figure that out. These are not chains and not sure what I did wrong in my inventory import file to make them load up as a chain, but I’m glad you identified the issue!

Hi Amngibson, thanks for the screenshot and FIN file. The 0 Used value is the result of a combination of a user setting and a value you have in the ‘Devices’ column for this product. The user setting is ‘Chains count as one in Used and Quantity columns’. This means that if you add a chain of 10 shells to a show, the Used column will show 1 instead of 10.   The Devices column stores the number of devices on a chain and must be 1 if the item is not a chain. The product you’re having and issue with is an individual shell, not a chain, which means the Devices value needs to be 1. Because the value is 72, and you have 15 in the show, Finale 3D thinks you have 15/72 of a chain.   To fix the problem, all you need to do is change the Devices value for 3CP106 in the Effect window to 1 and you’ll immediately see the Used quantity change to 15.  For a complete list of the Effect window columns and descriptions of what goes in each column, visit https://finale3d.com/documentation/effects-table-columns    

Sent! Thanks Drew!

Hi Amngibson, the screenshot is helpful, but we really need to have your show file to troubleshoot the issue. Please send your show FIN file to support@finale3d.com. Before sending, do File > Save as to make a copy of your show, then do Music > Delete all songs. This will make your show file small enough to easily send as an email attachment. Just be sure to save a copy of your show before deleting the music to avoid losing any work.
