Re: [Finale] Garritan jazz sounds: Are you satisfied?

I had no trouble using the full JABB sounds. You need to use the Kontakt Player 2 to get them loaded into the file, and that interface is nowhere near as clear and elegant as the new Aria Player that comes with Finale, but it works decently. I'm not sure of this, but the impression I

A little follow-up question for Chuck or anybody else who knows the answer. If I purchase the full JABB package and set my instruments under Kontact, are those settings saved with my Finale score? In other words the next time I open that score, it will have the same instruments I assigned

RE: [Finale] Garritan jazz sounds: Are you satisfied?

Hi, Craig... Jim Williams here, the euphonium player... Garritan Jazz sounds require a fair amount of score-marking. There is a lot of expressivity, hence the need for a lot of controller action. You **ARE** using human playback, aren't you? That makes the task substantially easier. There is

Re: [Finale] Garritan jazz sounds: Are you satisfied?

Hi Craig, I use the full set of Garritan sounds (Jazz and Orchestra) and find them a little more than marginally better than the soft synth sounds. Some are quite good; the recording of my bass (#2 in the full set), baritone sax, some of the brass, and the piano and guitar are both

Re: [Finale] Garritan jazz sounds: Are you satisfied?

my first suggestion is to turn down the reverb. I use the JABB library and it defaults to the reverb on 50% and the dry signal at 0% Mark McCarron --- Craig Parmerlee [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I just installed F2009, moving from 2007. 2007 never had the jazz instruments, so I never used
