Hello,
I have a few questions on which I hope to get help.
First of all, I am currently a FinMac2005 user who uses full GPO,
though my primary use of GPO is with MOTU Digital Performer. I'm
teaching a small electronic music class at my college in the spring
(I teach this every other year), and, over the winter break will be
updating the college's (and my) licenses to FinMac 2007. I usually
try to buy right around the time of "version b," and it looks like it
will be coming soon.
First of all, I've seen Kontakt 2 discussed on the list -- but right
now, all we have is 1.1.8,3, correct? This is the last update to the
player that we've been able to get from the Native Instruments site,
and it is pretty old.
Is this what FinMac2007 uses?
Second question: when I taught this two years ago (and GPO was
fairly new), I had a lot of trouble installing GPO under a multiple
user environment in the Mac lab. It simply was not possible to have
students on a single computer with multiple accounts get access to
GPO. We will use it both with Finale and with MOTU Digital
Performer. Last time I tried to get this to work, in order for the
students to be able to use GPO, we had to give them administrative
logins! We tried everything, but this was the only way.
We have been using FinMac 2006 on such a computer, and somehow, the
light version of GPO that comes with FinMac 2006 DOES function in a
multi-user environment.
Does anyone have experience with the current version of the full GPO
in a multiple user environment with Macs, where GPO is installed and
accesible by many people with different accounts on a single
computer? With and/or without Finale 2007?
Finally, does anyone have some quick advice about installing
FinMac2007 and the full GPO? Are there any tricks or cautions? Or
will it all sort itself out (where Finale, GPO, and MOTU quickly and
happily find each other)?
Thanking you all in advance,
David Froom
