I have been wondering about the new sounds too. I work with Finale & BandinaBox. Band in a Box tends to put out pretty human sounding midi stuff. If I were to dump a BB file into Finale and use the new sounds, would it sound...I don't know...reasonably good? I've listened to the samples, and they sound like every nuance was digitally entered into the score. I really don't want to take that much time with any project. I'm kind of torn about the new sounds. I want them, but I don't want to take a lot of time with making them sound "human."
Thoughts?

I've got a Kurzweil PC2r midi module which sounds as good as many of the sounds of the GPO that comes with Finale. I've also heard hardware midi modules which sounded like crap. GPO is still MIDI, just a different sound source, so you can't get away from MIDI without having live musicians. As to your remark about the sounds you didn't like in Sibelius. We can't know what you might think about the sounds from Finale/GPO, so you'll need to listen to the demos and make your mind up. I certainly wouldn't want you to buy an expensive program because I like the sounds -- you might hate them. That was my basic point in the remarks about the different artists on the violin and trumpet -- what one person loves another may hate. -- David H.
