Good explanation Tyler ... now, how do you feel
about the GPO sounds?
Are they as good as the samples provided on the MM
site, or not? And
if not, what gives? Also, I've just received the
following message:
Dear Finale Macintosh Customer;
In a previous e-mail we informed you of an upgrade
installation problem
with Finale 2006. In that e-mail we described how to
remove a folder
from your Macintosh before running the installer.
Since then we have
created a small program that will automatically find
and delete the
folder for you. Again, this MUST be run BEFORE you
run the Finale 2006
installer. In order for this pre-installer to work
properly you must
quit all running applications prior to installation.
If you haven't already deleted this folder, you can
download this
program, the Pre-installer for Finale 2006, and run
it from your
desktop. It will only take a few seconds.
Select the link below to download.
I downloaded this and activated it, as I have not
yet installed my
2006, though it is sitting by my side as I write. I
got a message that
my system didn't need the pre-installer's benefit.
Should I trust this
and go ahead with installation ... even if so many
are disappointed
with GPO sounds?

I'm pleased with the GPO sounds. They absolutely
require some use of the special Ambience reverb
plug-in that's included, and it's possible that some
people here haven't had a chance to really experiment
with that and find settings that work well. The right
reverb settings improve the sound 500%. (disclaimer -
I know that there are people on this list who are
against the idea of using reverb, but GPO sounds were
designed with the idea that reverb would be used)
The demos on MakeMusic's webpage are definitely better
than average, but they're not unrealistic. I have at
least one that I pulled from the Showcase, played from
Finale and found I thought sounded better than the
demos. There's a lot of variation - some sound great
with GPO and others are less of an improvement.
You could check to see if the folder that the first
e-mail told you to remove is gone. If it's gone, then
it should be safe to install. If you're concerned, you
could first create a copy of the folder that was
getting wiped out.
