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 a tutorial on Gary's site about how to match up JABB with Finale. Your results will be LEAGUES better if you really mark up the score. I use one score for playback & one for printing. If I want more pinpoint control, I dump a MIDI file into Sonar. Gotta run...more later. Jim W.

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? _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
