Friends -Help!
I need strong feedback from all and any who can help guide me in choosing to shift from Mac to PC Finale formats for the sole purpose of accessing the tremendous sound processing abilities of GigaSampler (only available in PC); it seems this would relieve me - an old fashioned orchestral composer - from the need to purchase and endlessly reload these beautiful Miroslav Vitous orchestral libraries day in and day out, and also enable me to access 64 MIDI tracks without needing a single hardware sampler.
My only remaining option is to purchase one or more K2500's in order to achieve 64 MIDI tracks from four separate modules - one of which needs to be an Akai no less - due to Spectrasonic's fine 'Symphony of Voices' choral CD no longer being available in Kurzweil format.
Sweetwater recommends a Del computer, with at least 512 to one gig.
1) Is the PC Finale world really that difficult to function in?
2) Does GigaSampler actually deliver quickly and reliably?
3) Is there something else I should know?
For any help on this (costly) quest, my sincere thanks.
