Tip: See Playing-in music–HyperScribe for a step-by-step tutorial that explains how to enter music in real-time with a MIDI keyboard. Note that a recorded audio track is not transcribed into musical notation. For details, see To record an audio track below.
When you're recording an audio track, the live performance must be in real-time and match the desired playback tempo. If you prefer, however, you can have Finale provide a metronome click, which can be internal, or triggered by playing a certain MIDI note (if Playback and/or Click is selected in the Beat Source submenu). Or, another computer or MIDI device can provide a time code that Finale can sync to (if External MIDI Sync is selected in the Beat Source submenu). When you’re recording a real-time MIDI performance using HyperScribe, you can provide the click yourself by tapping a note on your MIDI keyboard, a foot pedal, and so on (if Tap is selected in the Beat Source submenu).
