If anyone's played with this and the Personal orchestra, is one better than the other? I've tried using the Pocket Orchestra, but can't quite get it to sound like the Personal Orchestra demos, though I suspect you have to do things with controllers to get the various nuances of an instrument. Phil replied: when recording backing tracks, I managed to get Dimension Pro to work for me. However, I had to work quite hard to get the Garritan Pocket Orchestra strings sounding and responding as I wanted and in the end, used two instances of Dimension Pro. One with short strings, and one with long. Now that I have the Garritan Personal Orchestra, I won't have to do anywhere near as much work to get the strings to sound as I want them too as they just play, sound and respond the way I would expect them too. I will also only require one instance of Garritan, rather than 2 instances of Dimension Pro and won't need to do anywhere near as much with EQ, compression and reverb as I had too with Dimension Pro.

On the Garritan site, it says that in order to register products like the Personal Orchestra, you have to drag and drop a picture of the registration card or something into the program. Is that still the case with the latest versions of their software, and if so, is there an alternative we can use to register? Phil replied: yes. You have to drag the registration card into the product.
