The bassoon/clarinet duet actually sounds like a bassoon/clarinet duet - a major step forward!īottom line - I highly recommend these two sound libraries and by extrapolation, I suspect most of the rest would be a similar quality level. It only took an hour this time since I roughly knew what I was doing. Today I installed the sound set and got it working with Sibelius 7. I installed the sound libraries (all 117GB worth) last week, which took many hours. This is not cheap - total cost was about $700. I then plunged ahead and purchased the EWQL Symphonic Orchestra Platinum Standard library (24 bit only) and the matching sound set. If anyone is curious to hear the difference, I can post links to both versions. I would describe it as at an advanced high school violinist level, which is all I was looking for coming directly out of Sibelius. The violinist that will be premiering the work was also very impressed with the sound, although it is nowhere near at the level she will play it. The resulting sound was amazingly good generated raw out of Sibelius (I don't have the skills to use a DAW to do sound editing). Eventually I got it working and mapped the violin to the EW library and the piano to GPO4.
Installation was challenging and I needed help from Sound Set Project (their tech support was outstanding.).
Garritan personal orchestra 5 violin plus#
I was a bit concerned about getting anything from EW given reviews trashing their customer service but I thought it was worth the risk at about $100 plus the sound set.Įven though I am a computer expert, I know almost nothing about MIDI. I also got the Sibelius Sound Set to match from. I didn't get the piano library since the Garritan piano (and the native Sibelius piano) are both reasonably good and I figured I could mix and match. As bad as the violin was, another composition for bassoon and clarinet was even worse - I would describe it as a duet for bass and soprano kazoos.Īfter doing a lot of research I finally decided to get EastWest Quantum Leap Solo Violin. I had been using Garritan Personal Orchestra 4 and had never been happy with the sound except for the piano. My favorite response (paraphrasing slightly) was : "This is a great work for kazoo and piano!" I responded by saying that this was an insult to kazoo players everywhere. After completing my latest composition - Scherzo in C Minor for violin/piano (which I will be uploading shortly), I sent the score and a Sibelius/GPO4 generated MP3 to several reviewers.
