I just installed F2009, moving from 2007. 2007 never had the jazz
instruments, so I never used the Garritan sounds. One of the primary
reasons I upgraded was to get the more realistic playback on big band
charts.
I have created a simple score from the Finale setup wizard, letting it
set all the defaults for the Garritan jazz instruments. I must say my
first impression is that this doesn't sound particularly realistic. To
my ears, it sounds pretty much like the regular synth sounds, only with
a lot more reverb.
I am wondering:
1) Does anybody else share that opinion, or perhaps have a completely
different opinion?
2) Are there some tweaks that people have found necessary in order to
make the Garritan jazz instruments play back more realistically?
