Tracks aren't analysing when I import. The timeline just goes dark, no waveform shows. The songs window shows a duration a 0:00. I don't get the analysing pop up. I use Cubase 11 to edit my music.Tried exporting both wave and mp3, tried converting to mp3 through iTunes. Most of the time they don't open in finale. But all play in media player and itunes. It works about 20% of the time.

Thank you, that is what I was thinking as well. I guess if it is a single cake (fingers crossed) I could test one and see.

Hey PyroExec,   First, I have no real-world experience with this specific product...sorry.   I compared both the video from Racoon (link), the product on American Wholesale Fireworks (same video, diff product picture), and the simulation from Finale3d. Regardless of the discrepancy in shot counts, the timing (~10seconds) looks correct. When I compare cakes etc...it's usually the TIMING that is most important in the simulations...ie the prefire time to the "fadeout" of the last effect in the sky...FWIW.   In this case, based on the pictures you have and Racoon's video, I *believe* that the 10seconds is for EACH 500g cake, and what you've purchased appears to be a 1.4gPRO level 1000g cake, which can be chained together...so it's safe to assume that the chained effect duration would be 20seconds.   Thats what I would plan for in my show, and sorry in advance if I'm wrong!   Cheers, -Russ

I purchased a bunch of 1.4 cakes from RKM and American Wholesale and would love to include them in my design....but it will take forever to create them all.  Is there a database anywhere? Thanks in advance!

I have Raccoon RA143041 in an upcoming show and in Finale it says its a 90s cake but in the cases I have there are two 36s cakes. I only have enough for this show so I cannot test it IRL. Even the two 36 cakes chained only comes to 72 shots. See attached pictures. Is the finale effect a representation of the compound or a single unit and should it be adjusted to the proper shot count?   Thanks for your help.   Pictures https://drive.google.com/file/d/12JQAO93yP_GESkpOlvJEcflcu8pAxj6y/view?usp=sharing   https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hKh-b03qInySQvQ4V9EbIfPCevDwhgOq/view?usp=sharing          

Hi drew and all the community,   is there any solution to export the script from finale3d to share with DepenceR4 ? If we are working with Finale what is the best way to share our script for another daw?      

I created smoke effect cake color + whistling color + crackling + color coco palm

Hi Pyro_100320000 welcome to the Finale 3D forum!   Yes, the rulers can be changed from meters to feet. See: https://finale3d.com/groups/english/forum/topic/finale-3d-lite-distance-between-positions/#post-2174213

Is there a way to change meters to feet for spacing positions?
