ok. first problem is that you can't compare GPO Finale to GPO Studio. You need to make sure you're using the FULL version of GPO as an AU plugin..the normal FULL GPO player...not the Kontakt2 player with FinaleGPO. (for the sake of a fair comparison).
Just to be clear, I agree that you have to compare apples with apples as much as possible. I own Kontakt 2, the full GPO, Finale GPO, Symphonic Choirs, Akoustic Piano and GPO Jazz Band. I AM making the comparison between the full GPO AU and GPO Studio. I've got the reverb settings the same and I've even done the comparisons without reverb.
Try it for yourself and note the differences between the AU version and GPO studio. They do not give you the same results.
If you do that..the difference SHOULD be nil. THey are the same players being hosted either by Finale or by GPO Studio. There might be some difference about how much you can control the send to reverb..I have a feeling GPO STudio provides more control that way. but otherwise..should be exactly the same.... ah well..not entirely true. GPO STudio will be using the VST versions of the player..not the AU version...I think...(don't quote me on that..I'm not sure about the mac). But it should not make a difference. If it does, then Gary Garritan needs to be told.
I don't know what the differences are "under the hood," but my ears tell me they are different and my RAM usage program also confirms that the AU version takes up more room than the Studio version. I was surprised by that result so I'm asking others to add their own observations, not just theories of what should happen.
