Ok ... just installed 2006 w/out any problems I can detect. Messed
around with a couple of instruments in GPO (Eng. Hrn. and Cl.) in a
little duet I wrote. I think the quality of the sounds and human
playback are excellent, as promised. However, when I added a couple of
more instruments, as Darcy predicted, I started getting the crackle
and pop because I just running an iMac at 600 Mhz. If I upgrade the
processor, I can see no reason at present why I would be unhappy with
2006. Another however, however, in Hyperscribe, out of GPO, the only
countoff and click sound I seem to be able to get is my acoustic grand
piano. I guess I can live with this, but I'd sure rather have a
percussion sound.

Mine sound just awful. I bought Fin2006 purely on the promise that
I could at last hear my work sound something like real. But I'm
afraid I was very disappointed. The same with Finale's HP. I could
never use it.
You mean you didn't listen to the samples available on both the
MakeMusic and Garritan websites before you bought the upgrade?

Yes I did, and that was the quality of sound I was expecting, but
mine stinks. I have a Sound Blaster Audigy Audio (A400) sound card.
So what's the problem?
Well, perhaps if you could be a bit more specific about what you mean
by "stinks"?
I don't know anything about PC sound cards, but they shouldn't make
that much difference -- we're talking about digital audio here. The
demos on the Finale website are a fair representation of the GPO
sounds included with Finale. If you are hearing some kind of dramatic
difference between the demos and the bundled sounds, there's something
wrong. Do you have Ambience enabled? Which GPO instruments sound
different from the ones used in the demos? What kind of speakers are
you using? What HP settings are you using?
