other sounds than GM

2008-01-04 12:07 pm

Hi,

   Since some time I try to add other sounds to those which are included in Vista, the GM sounds. I use them with Noteworthy without problems but it is difficult to add other sounds.
   For example the Garritan orchestra: but they apparently disabled the system for sending new topics on the forum of their site. So it is impossible to know wether their sounds are possible to use or wether they are just crooks.
   Same thing for the software Sibelius: they are more than suspect since it is impossible to send any mail to their forums, but according to what I read their system for adding new sounds is not working at all!

   Can you by any chance shed a bit of light on that?
Thanks,

Bruno Julier

I wish I had better news for you, but from the struggles of others on this thread:

you may have a rough go of it.
From what many veteran computer users have written, you may have to "upgrade" to WIN XP or go windowless by downloading and installing Linux's Xubuntu free operating system. Doing either of these will invalidate your warranty, but that may not be a bad trade-off compared to an unusable computer running Vista.

This thread may also be of help to you:

Best of luck!
