Help! Strings are late or delayed during playback

Been a Finale user for decades and switched over to Dorico last week. I’ve got a lot of it figured out but one MASSIVE problem has stumped me.

On Finale the strings sounds were always on the beat during playback. In Dorico they are “late” or slightly behind the beat and so don’t match up with winds or percussion. Why is this happening and how do I fix it? Many thanks for assistance.

Which instrument library are you using?

Whichever the software came with, I guess HALion Sonic. Iconica sketch for the Ex Map. I never use a piano keyboard, I do everything simple entry on a MacBook Air. I don’t need fancy strings sounds, I just need them to be on the beat. :slight_smile:

Try the HSO template rather than Iconica Sketch (I don’t like Iconica either)

Hi Janus! The HSO was better. I also put a negative number in the “delay” option and that helped even more. :slight_smile:
