Garritan and Best Service

[JoergieN]

Does anyone have any experience with either of these companies? Especially Garritan, after listening to the sound clips their plug ins seem like they're a steal for the price. Best Service seems like they have good stuff too but at double or triple the price. Thanks

Garritan makes solid software, good stuff for the price. Their forum is very helpful as well. I was really happy with it until I got ahold of the EastWest stuff...

Definitely going with Garritan. All those instruments for $150? Fucking steal.

You get what you pay for...

Well I don't know, have you heard the clips? They sound phenomenal IMO. But then again, I don't really have a good ear for tone outside of guitars. That's why I asked for opinions

Sounds pretty good over here...

Yeah that's what I'm saying. That for 150 bones? Sold

I recently composed the intro for Sarah Jezebel Deva's (Cradle of Filfth) solo album with Garritan even though I have EastWest samples. I did so because how well it integrated with Sibelius 6, and after exporting midi into Cubase it sounded odd because of the velocity difference using EastWest. Didn't have time to go to each instrument in the orchestra editing velocities and expression; Turned out quite well.

I have Garritan GPO4 and it's a nice package for a very good price. As far as support goes, they have been responsive to the few issues I have had.
