I've never worked with a notation program except to fiddle a bit with the free Musescore, which is good software but not designed for easy integration with quality 3rd party libraries and the DAW universe It sounds quite good and the simplicity of the UI is very cool.
Garritan personal orchestra 5 demo downlonad manual#
I find this whole Overture/Amadeus reality terribly interesting, and after watching the 15 minute walkthough and looking at the manual wonder if Amadeus isn't the coolest $99 "bread-&-butter orchestra" sale in the history of samples. LOL I was writng an answer but MatFluor nailed it. It's more of a challenger to VSL SE, Garritan PO and Miroslav So, It won't be a challenger to those trailer focused libraries of course, it's not trying to play there.
Amadeus is more an all-in-one pack, with good sound, low price, and minimal footprint to enable you to write for a proper full orchestra (can't do that with either of your reference libraries above). Imo, the sound quality is good, but won't replace a Berlin/Spitfire orchestra (not Albions but SSO).
It would be fair to compare with garritan personal orchestra and Miroslav Philharmonic, where Amadeus comes out on top by far in my opinion.īut you can't compare the first and second flute that Amadeus has with Ark (no flutes at all), Albion (only "woods high" or variations) or Jaeger (no woods). Because Amadeus has single sections and soloist instruments. Well, sound quality is ok, not on that high level (RR count/Implementation, scripted vs true Legato etc).īut, and it's fun to say that, it's not comparable with those three libs.
