Yeah, I listened to the samples on both sites Darcy mentioned, and
was most impressed. That's why I bought Fin 2006.
Are not the sounds available in the package as we purchased it the
same we heard in the samples? If so, I can't imagine being
disappointed with them.
Dean,
The examples on MakeMusic's website were created using the GPO Finale
Edition that comes with Finale 2006.
The sounds you get will sound like that.
Unfortunately, your current computer doesn't really have the horsepower
to play them well, but if you are happy with the MP3 demos MakeMusic
provided, you should be happy with the results once you upgrade your
machine. What you hear is what you get, basically.
Some people seem to have wildly unrealistic expectations of what GPO
is. It is *not* a massive, high-end sample library suitable for
professional film scoring. It will *not* fool anybody (or at least,
not anybody on this list) into thinking that they are listening to a
real orchestra. It is a low-cost, easy-to-use orchestral sample
library designed to provide good value for the money and seamless
integration with Finale. (And it is *worlds* better than Finale's
default sound font, at least when playing back through decent
speakers.)
