Something else occurred to me -- does anyone have any experience
running GPO on a separate computer from Finale? Does that even work?

Hi Jerry,

Ah, okay. I'm still brand-new to the program, and I didn't realize
that was possible.
The stuttering is a 'feature' on the Mac side of this program.
Apparently, not to be fixed.
You're kidding, right? Right?
I run G5 -1.6- 3 GB ram. Everything stripped, minimized or
optimized. Big score long running time and only a few places where I
had to simplify the orchestration in order to get a satisfactory
performance.
Doesn't mean I'm not pissed tho'
Right. I have to say, I'm a little concerned then, seeing as the Mac
mini can't do more than 1 GB RAM. Clearly, I should have done a
little more research into system requirements before picking up GPO.
The minimum specs listed on the box are a joke (Mac OS X, G4 733, 1 GB
RAM).
But anyway, it seems like you're saying this is not a tool for
replacing Finale instruments for regular, within-the-score playback --
it's more a tool to get a decent-sounding demo of the score once it's
complete Okay -- I can live with that. It's just not what I thought
I was getting.
Go to
northernsounds.com/forum/
follow links
search pop or crackle
that should give you more ideas on work arounds.
Thanks, Jerry. I will.
Cheers,

Based on the miserable performance I'm getting on my current setup,
I would guess that you would need at least a 1.8 GHz G5 with 1.5 GB
of RAM to run Finale and GPO simultaneously without things getting
unusably slow. Does that gibe with everyone else's experience?
Is anyone running Fin2005 + GPO on a PowerBook with 1 GB of RAM?
The current PowerBooks have similar specs to the Mac mini -- 1.33 to
1.5 GHz G4 with no L3 cache, PC2700 RAM, 167 MHz bus, slow
(4200-rpm) hard drive. [The only significant difference is that the
PowerBooks all support more than 1 GB or RAM, while the Mini does
not.] If so, are you getting acceptable results?
The GPO sample library is great. I'm just hoping I'll actually be
able to *use* it on a 1.42 GHz Mac mini with just 1 GHz of RAM.
(And god knows I had enough performance issues with Fin2005 already,
without introducing this fresh complication... )

PS I'm still waiting to hear about the Second Edition.
