I recently bought Finale V25 and I am very unsatisfied with the playback. For example, one problem I've been having is that pizzicati are not played in playback or when I make an audio file, which is really bad. How do I fix this?

Moreover, I've never used any sound libraries before and I have no idea how to engage or use them in finale. I hear that compared to previous versions (I previously had Finale 2011) there are many programs (e.g. Garritan) which are not supported anymore. I really like Finale 2011's playback when compared to the new Finale V25 I recently purchased. How can I achieve similar playback or better in the new version? Right now I have something called VST for playback which came as a default and that is it. This VST system is simply not usable and I hate it. As of now I've been very disappointed with this newer version of Finale, so any help to ameliorate these issues is appreciated.

Let's start with Garritan. What do you mean about it not being supported anymore? I use the GIfF which comes with Finale and it is quite adequate. It is a lean version of Garritan Personal Orchestra.

I basically don't understand any of this and it confuses me to no end. I don't know how Garritan or others work. All I know is I have VAT and things don't work.
