Hi MidiNotate Users!

What a great community you have.

I wanted to let you know about the GPO Group Buy.

Right now the price is only $139.

The group buy ends tonight. Since this is a late announcement, I may extend this a little bit to MidiNotate users.

If you would like to take advantage of this opportunity go to this link:.

Howdy Folks,

Heads up....

Garritan is having a holiday "group buy" sale on their libraries right now - the details are at https://amerifare.cybrhost.com/harps/GroupBuyForm-122006.php

Briefly, they're having another "group buy" special - the price decreases depending on how many folks sign up. The more folks that sign up for a product, the lower the price for that one goes. They've got three products on the block - Garritan Personal Orchestra, Jazz and Big Band, and the Stradivarius Violin.

I can personally say that GPO is a great sounding library, and if you can get it for the lowest price, it's well worth it. I think others (Clyde?) may have the Jazz and Big Band - I know I've heard good things about it.

ttfn,
Sherry

Howdy,

Just an additional note - this sale is different than the one Gary posted here over a year ago http://www.notation.com/discus/clipart/happy.gif This one is current (next three weeks in 2006).

Enjoy!
Sherry

Hi Sherry,
The Garritan product is a great source of realistic sounds.

I have not purchased the 'Jazz & Big Band' as I have been holding out for the day for the 'Group Buy'. However, potential buyers need to be aware they need at least 1GB of memory on their PC, so the software costs is only part of the expenditure.

Composer is a great interface to the Garritan software (and other software like the Hauptwerk Virtual Pipe Organ which I also use). Having an excellant sound source (like Garritan) is one factor in gaining a realistic result, but the quality of the midi file is a critical factor. Garritan, like any other software, is unable 'to make a silk purse out of a sows ear'.

I would encourage serious musicians to consider the Garritan software, but don't regard it as a 'quick fix' - there will be plenty of challenges ahead and lots of work. But Composer & Garritan software provide wonderful tools to greatly assist the dedicated musician to get a high quality result.

Cheers ... Clyde
