Yeah I agree. Some of the instruments were breath takingly realistic and some of them didn't sound as good, but I still think its much better than what we had before which was nothing. Now can someone please tell me how to access the affects in Garritan? I have used the affects in Sonar like perfect space and they sound okay, but it seems to me like it doesn't sound as realistic as the demos. What am I missing? May the peace of God which passes all understanding guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus. God bless you!

OK< I've downloaded all the Personal Orchestra and jazz/Big Band demos. I'm pretty impressed actually. I think with the Jazz/Big Band, they should've concentrated more on brass sections as some of the solo instruments sound like samples both in the way they're played and how they sound. But when you put a brass section together, it's as good as anything I've heard. Similarly with the Personal Orchestra. Who's bright idea was it to use Flight of the Bumblebee as a demo? It really made it sound like a cheap keyboard.. Apart from those two little gripes, I like them both a lot, especially as they are now accessible and reasonably inexpensive. Hole in my credit card time I think. Cheers Darren www.karmistry.com/
