I use Finale's audio output for personal reference and an occasional mockup for clients. Finale's internal sounds have suited my purposes for some time now. Recently, while updating a short chamber piece, the Garritan sounds that come with Finale 2011 (Mac) loaded. I gave them a listen and was pleasantly surprised at the improvement this made in solo wind and string sounds.
Today I'm working on a piece for string orchestra. Hoping for a similar jump in quality I chose the Garritan option but have been very disappointed so far. The sounds are mushy and lack rhythmic definition; great, I suppose, for a pad, but not what I'm looking for here. Is this something inherent in the Garritan string section sounds, or are there settings that will allow for a crisper, rhythmically more accurate realization? I changed the reverb type in "Audio Setup" from "Large Hall" to "none" and I guess there's some difference, but not enough. Thoughts, suggestions, or setting that are working for you would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
