Chuck, Do you know if the Garritan Jazz Orch and the marching orch are both coming out this summer and, if you want both, is there a special deal for that? I assume they'll be separate programs. Also, is the Kontakt engine going to be beefed up a bit?
I write for the Nashville Jazz Orch and also school jazz bands but I still get more work writing marching shows. Actually the march thing is the most critical because I provide a demo for the band directors. I still do it the old fashioned way by triggering hardware synths/samples and sometimes playing one real pass of the 1st trumpet part in Cubase. I'm not sure the Garritan thing is going to be better. Another advantage for me, at this point, is that running hardware with 6 or 8 outs each through a mixer allows me to reach up quickly to turn Tbn down or Hn up or whatever. Of course that makes desk top real estate an issue. Any thoughts?
