The best sounding orchestral plugins tend to cost money. Unfortunately, putting in this much effort into a plugin gives the developers no incentive to release it for free. This leaves no option but to tediously record instrument samples with complex multi-microphone rigs.Įven after the software developers have the samples, there is still the challenge of programming a plugin that will intelligently play their samples. There are so many different variables to factor in when a violin player gently glides their bow over the strings of the instrument. Stringed instruments are the most difficult for software developers to replicate. That’s why a kick-butt plugin can be a DIY musician’s savior. Heck, many of us can’t even afford to pay one or two string players. I think the orchestra that came with Kontakt 2, 3, 4 and 5 is far better then Garritan, by the way, so if you want to improve your old tracks, consider getting Kontakt.Most of us don’t have the budget of The Beatles - we can’t afford to hire an entire orchestra. Old unfinished songs one day become dependent on abandoned software, very risky. This stuff happens to everyone, that's why most studio's keep all their old computers and many pro's bounce tracks so they won't need a specific plugin in the future. The best thing you can do is keep an OSX 10.5 or 10.6 system next to (or on a seperate partition of) your main working system and if you need to open an old song, open it on the 10.5/10.6 system and write down all the instruments you use. if you get it to work in the new Kontakt 5 Player, the Kontakt 5 Player will not automatically appear in your songs, you have to replace the Kontakt 2 instruments one by one, so it's as much trouble as using the Aria Player.
The Kontakt Player based GPO works with a Kontakt 2 Player and the Kontakt 2 Player has problems on OSX 10.6 and won't work at all on OSX 10.7 or Logic 64bit.Īnd.
