Hi Fred & Sherry,
Thanks for the samples - I cannot hear the additional sound in the samples you sent.

I am puzzled by your comment Sherry 'sure my Ambience setting was on "no".' Where do you set the amience to 'No'. There is no 'NO' button only a 'none'.

I had a look at the Garritan site, and they indicated there is a new Kontakt player (version 1.1.8.003 - I have 1.0.2.008). I downloaded and installed, but the Studio does not seem to want to load the newer version, so I'm somewhat stuck. (I even reloaded Studio, but still no success).

(I think I have an mental blockage about the Garritan software - I seem to have serious trouble everytime I try to do something. Last time is was all the security system).

Anyway, its late at night here (11pm) so thanks for the suggestions, I shall try them out again with a clearer head in the morning.

Cheers ... Clyde
