This approach proved durable, spawning several updates which have now culminated in the release of GPO 5. Add additional reverb in a DAW or with Audacity.The latest incarnation of a long-running library introduces new instruments, articulations and enhancements.īack in 2004, Garritan Personal Orchestra provided a radical alternative to the massive symphonic sample libraries of the day by cramming every orchestral instrument under the sun into a supremely affordable package requiring a mere 2GB of disk space. I don't think I would do this for any other library. When every sample is mixed straight down the center, it creates the sound of an ensemble. Why would you do this? Because some of Garritan's patches sound so weak by themselves that it sounds terrible when they are isolated in the mix. Use the Finale or DAW mixer to set every track to be mixed straight down the middle. Set the convolution to "Large Symphonic Concert Hall" and the ambience to "Concert Hall 1" for every instance. It requires multiple instances because it can't play two notes at once though. Only use the solo patches for wind instruments.
It took a while to figure out how to make it sound acceptable. Reviewers bragged that the library was mixed dry, but that is nothing to brag about if you want people to make good-sounding music out of it. They had removed the direct reverb option. When I upgraded to GPO 5 with Finale 25, I was shocked by how bad it sounded out of the box. For years, Garritan Personal Orchestra was my only sample library.
