The idea behind Garritan was to keep CPU load low. For solo voices that meant low quality sampling, but a good ensemble sound, nevertheless. It’s dated…

Big Fish takes a different appraoch, now that processors and Ram have improved so much. Sounds impressive to my ears!

Nothing beats audiomodeling for solos, trumpets and saxophone, I think. With a keyboard or EWI, these can’t be beaten. Expensive stuff, though.

I’d love to own it all, but then my wallet says No!


Biab, Kontakt, Sampletank and lots of nice libraries, from Fluffy audio to Abbey Road drums.
