By that do you mean that when the music you write down on finale is not what you had in your mind? Because even with GPO, I don't think finale's sound is realistic in any way. It might "sound" realistic, but many things, such as the dynamics (the relative dynamics especially), are not realistic (as in, what you hear from finale is not what you'd hear from a live performance, with the same score).
Stockhausen had spent hours and hours in his studio before he could finally reach a stage when he could just hear a sound and then go to the synthesizer and synthesize a sound similar to that (as similar as computers can, anyway). Dictation is good, but I wouldn't say it's the absolute way to go. Singing is also good. It might seem weird, but singing helps a lot. When you sing in a choir, for example, you get to hear what the other parts are doing while you sing your own, and thus you can distinguish between all the different parts in a piece with more than one line.
