Hello all,
I am a composer and composition teacher by trade. I use Finale but as I'm sure many of you know, the playback on Finale is pretty horrible. I've decided it's time for me to upgrade, but I have no idea where to start. Which VSL product would be best for me? I will be using it primarily for playback in the classroom and for reference purposes, but am not planning on needing it for commercial use. Thanks for your input!
Hi,
someone else in the the forum could give you some better and clever advice than me, but I'm glad to give you my 2 cents.
VSL it's a great choice to get (far more) better samples for Finale's playback. Everything depends from the budget you want to spend, but you don't need to make great sound mock-up, so I think you need a complete collection of orchestral sound, with all the articulations you may need.
So I'd go with the Special Edition Vol 1 Bundle. You could also start with the Special Edition Vol 1 and then add the volume I plus in the future. With this collection you will have all the orchestral instruments (every family, woodwinds, brass, percussion, strings) with a great variety of articulations.
Hope it helps, Best,
Fabio
In my opinion, Special Edition Vol 1 — even without the Plus extension you can purhase later, but always consider saving on bundles — would fit your needs.
Hope it helps
