An interesting side note: I use Garritan Personal Orchestra some, so I'm very familiar with the sounds. And I discovered that in Dimension Pro, the "In The Venue"  flute, oboe, clarinet and bassoon are taken from the Garritan Pocket Orchestra, one of DP's sound sets. But they sound much better. In fact, all the sounds in the pocket orchestra sound better than than they do in GPO itself, even though they're much older. Obviously they have been fixed up by the sound engineers who made DP. For example, in GPO, changing velocity has little effect on the notes, but in Pocket it does. I tend to use original GPO though, because it has a depth setting which does make a difference. But I do use the pocket orch. harp, because it stands out much better in the mix, and harps tend to get lost easily. Also, I use the pocket orch clarinet because it just sounds better.

Haha it's not so much that or whether it matters.... I just find it interesting!
Definitely helps us with the cheap libraries know how easily we'll be found out 
 
I suppose the real reason for me is that it's fascinating to think that there are guys doing this stuff professionally who are making all the money in film/TV/radio, and yet they're using a lot of the same stuff that's available to us - with most of us being primarily hobbyists.


That's what I take from it, as well -- it is interesting to hear, and a small reminder that the stuff I have is what the pros also use. I also sort of thought that if I ever had the chance to score a show, I'd make more effort to hide riffs and motifs that might catch the ear of fellow library users. 




Kind of in the same line as with a pro who buys a Les Paul guitar that you could buy as well, all with the same strings, pickups, setup, etc.
 
It's what the pro does with it that sets them apart.
 
Tools are just tools.

I do not have GPO, but that is an interesting observation.  Garritan is designed to be a sample playback library, using the Aria player engine. 
 
When Cake started out to design Dimension, they were trying to create a synthesizer that played samples, with a bit more emphasis on the "synthesizer" part.  That resulted in the creation of Cakewalk's Expression Engine that Rapture and other Cake instruments also were later based around.
