To add one piece of information to Darcy's coherent thoughts, I
misinformed you about where the reverb setting shows up. You can turn
it off in the mixer window in Finale. Look on the right.

To my ears, it sounds pretty much like the regular synth sounds,
only with a lot more reverb.
The Garritan sounds are recorded dry. Reverb settings are controlled
by the Ambience Reverb plugin (still not available by default on
Intel Macs!), and the default settings are very bad. You will have
much better results if you use a more appropriate preset, create
your own settings, or turn it off.
And, as Chuck said, you really must use Human Playback when using
Garritan instruments. One huge advantage to the Garritan Sounds + HP
(versus the SoftSynth sounds) is that HP automatically creates back-
accented tonguing when playing back in a jazz swing style, and
automatically adjusts the level of swing depending on the tempo and
depending on whether notes are an anticipation or not.
When using SoftSynth instruments, every note is always tongued, the
level of swing does not scale with the tempo, and anticipations are
treated the same as consecutive notes.
Also: I assume you are using good speakers/headphones? If you are
just using the built-in speakers on your computer (or cheap computer
speakers), then of course you won't notice much of a difference.
