Just thought I'd link to this, since it hasn't been done yet and this seems the place where it should go.

Garritan/Alan you may want to make this one sticky.

Very cool. I'll the URL on to my mixing engineer. Thanks.

J.B. - Do you think you might in the future do a Cubase Se tutorial? Hmmmm? Huh????? Yes, no, maybe, not?

[Joseph Burrell]

Yes. I plan on doing a Cubase LE tutorial (which would be similar to the process with SE.)

I would do more than one most likely. One would be a virtual Flash tutorial similar to the X-Custom one, just to show how Cubase and GPO work together. I would also like to do some tutorials showing basic functions in Cubase, like keyswitching, ensemble building, percussion tracks, etc.

FYI:
I did a Logic tutorial with screenshots and Gary has posted it to the website.

1st Vln Sul Tasto mf UpDn ALT VAR1?
Is this supposed to show up on the Konkakt? If not, where can I find it?

[Joseph Burrell]

That appears to be a patch from GOS, not anything to do with GPO (at this point at any rate.) That may be where your confusion is coming from.

New tutorial online for FL Studio 5 Producer Edition (should work as well for regular FL Studio as well.)

The visuals and formatting that I did to Steve/ZeroZero's excellent Tutorial are still temporarily housed on my web site HERE (http://www.kevintweedy.net/G/CubaseTemplatesForGPO.html). I've sent a couple reminders to Gary to pick this up and bring it into the "Tips and Tutorials" page but I suspect that these reminders have dropped through various cracks (given the amount of away travel of late).

Folks have recently been asking me what reverb approach I have been using (in Cubase SX) and I have to say that I have completely shifted to Steve's approach as outlined in the Tutorial. It's a technique that has always been there in Cubase SX capability, but it took a clear approach by Steve to make this particular "tree" stand out in the forest of Cubase features.

Kevin,

You're right about travel causing me to delay putting this up. It is now on the GPO site:

http://www.garritan.com/tutorial/CubaseTemplatesForGPO.html

Thanks you for hosting, editing and adding graphics to this tutorial. And thanks to Tony Bywaters -- the "Merlin" of SX. And a very big thank you to Steve/ZeroZero's for writing this amazing Tutorial!

Great tutorial on how to create a template for Cubase but I've got some doubts about it beacuse I don't know much about PC's:
1. You say puting only one Garritan Ambience in the mixer you save CPU but I don't know how because if 5 channels are calling this FX then CPU will have 5 jobs to do exactly the same that if you have G. Ambience 5 times in your memory. So maybe you can save memory space but I don't believe you save CPU.
Besides that when you load several copies of the same program (in this case G. Ambience) a computer only loads it phisically once, so you don't save memory (at least in mid and high range computers, I don't know in PC's but I'd like to know it)

Can you confirm this for me, please?
Thanks

I would like to add my £0-0s-6d worth here. I just printed out the tutorial....(Thank you very much indeed Steve/ZeroZero and Kevin....and, yes, Gary too)..... yes I think I may actually get up and running this winter!:eek:

There was the usual printing out problem where in the past I have cut and pasted into Word in order not to have text disappearing off the page etc. The narrower A4 format paper, used in Europe, doesn't help the problem.

However, I finally came across a solution, Print Punk, http://www.printpunk.com/ which I'm using now and use a lot in fact, (Am I the only one who prints of reams of interesting stuff which I foolishly think I can assimilate at some point?) I can't even get organised enough to file it all!!:)

Anyway, the Print Punk button sits at the Right hand end of Explorer bar at the level of the web address. You just click on it and click print and it shows you a preview of what will be printed. It works brilliantly on almost everything and has saved me a great deal of time and frustration. Highly recommended.

The only fly in the ointment for me was that you have to pay the $19 through a UK company called SWREG which charge VAT! I had an exchange with them over this as one of the advantages of downloads is that we can, temporarily at least, get away without paying VAT. They said that this is the future, which may well be the case, but if so, I for one, don't want to be at the cutting edge of this particular 'advance'!:)

I hope that this may help someone. I do wish I'd had it years ago.......

I posted this on the wrong page. I should have posted it here but I goofed.
Sorry if I messed up the forum protacol. My question is below. This is really a mystery to me.
I'm missing something. smoewhere, somehow. I can't for the life of me understand how the midi files in the tutorials are downloaded. I can download the sounds but how do I download the notation. I don't need the sound, I need the notation to work with. This is a complete mystery to me. There is a file especially written for Sonar called GPO-Tutorial.midi. There is also a midi file called Aase's death by Grieg. How do I load these in Sonar or Finale as notation. I hope someone can help. I thought I was at least an intermediate user, but now I'm not sure what I am. Thanks. This is probably something that's so obvious, I'll kick myself.

I too would love to see another tutorial about Cubase 3SX and GPO but using KP2. I haven't been consistently successful in getting more than 2 stereo output channels from KP2 when used with Cubase 3SX and GPO, no matter what I seem to do. Life seemed so much easier with KP1...either that or my smarts are leaking out somewhere!

Garritan/Alan you may want to make this one sticky.

Hello. I am new here in this site. I would like to ask a question, but i don't know where is the right place to do. It is the follow: Can I use the Garritan Personal Orchestra (GPO) inside softwares like Encore, Finale? I mean, if I open a enc file, a score, in the Encore software ( for example ), can I use the timbres of Garrido Orquestra in that score? Or the Garrido's timbres works just in keyboards?
I appreciate tha help.

Hi codonauta, and welcome!

Can I use GPO with Encore/Finale?

Yes! The latest versions of Finale and Sibelius have Garritan sounds included in their programs. You can buy Finale 2009 or Sibelius 5 and the sounds you hear back will be Garritan. You can also buy GPO, which has more instruments, and it will work with those latest versions of Finale and Sibelius.

With Encore and earlier versions of Finale, you can use GPO, but I want to warn you the process is a little complicated to set up and the playback will not reflect any dynamics or tempo marks you have made in the music.

Hope this helps,
Reegs

[codonauta]

Yes, it helped me. Now I know I need to buy the latest version of Finale or Sibelius, and my problems with timbres inside notation softwares will be solved.
Thx.
