Hi Darren Yep, you were right, the YouTube clips were Walies' demos. The Garritan orchestra has a very nice sound, the reverb effects are very heavy which makes most string sound better, however to be fare they do have a very nice warm feel about them. Regarding Dimension Pro, I still believe I could get Dimension Pro to give Garritan a run for their Money. Garritan really need to sort out some good YouTube demos.

I'd actually really love to be able to say what I've heard so far has blown me away, but they either are very poor, or the demos I've heard aren't official demos and just uploaded by wallies.

I also heard the new Jazz and Big Band stuff, and it's pretty good.

If you want good orchestral sounds the Garritan Personal Orchestra is fantastic! Way better than Dimension Pro. The strings on Dimension Pro are good but the Garritan ones are in a different league again. I purchased it just for the strings but, if I were into orchestral stuff, I would purchase it for that as nothing else comes close. I don't use orchestral stuff much here however, I will be using the strings on some of my backing tracks in the future. In fact, I may even revoice some of the tracks that I have with the Garritan strings. Also, playing them is a dream. They just respond as you would expect.
