Garritan 4

[bassman]

Hi there

I have the first copy of Garritan GPO and have used it for the occasional string swell or the odd percussion track here and there. I've found it useful and yet not overly exiting.

Is Garritan 4 worth upgrading to?. I think I read somewhere that it contains some project sam brass + other bits and bobs.


Any experiences?

They have a buy 2 get 1 free special at the moment. I thought their orchestra was pretty thin sounding myself, and I'm no expert at all on that. I'd be more curious maybe for some of the other library's like Jazz and Big Band, because there isn't much that's not expensive out there. Maybe concert and marching band library. Pipe organs and harps, being just one instrument, you would hope they might be well done??

I don't know of anyone doing trailers or hybrid electro-orchestral cues using Garritan. Maybe if you need a cheap way of realizing scores for a class you're taking. I'm not saying that nobody uses GPO professionally, nor am I saying that you shouldn't-I just don't know of anyone, personally.
