Sforzando doesn't have the convolution and ambient reverb effects found in ARIA. While you can still load and play properly registered Garritan libraries in sforzando, the reverb effects will be missing. Is ARIA still working as it should? If not: First, do you get any sort of error messages if you ...

Once you have the latest Garritan Player, you can update the engine, which is sometimes newer than what might be offered on the Garritan site. http://ariaengine.com/support/aria-engine-update/ Another way to update the engine is to install the latest version of sforzando (which will also play back p...

Are you really using such a high sample rate? Or is that just the max supported by your audio interface showing in all that text above? Unless you're doing some seriously sensitive recording with a massive dynamic range using top of the line microphones I can't see any good reason to use anything hi...

Credo, thanks. Garageband does have a mixing console, yet it's a pretty basic one, not as sophisticated as Cubase or Prologic. I need to look into what you said and try Garageband's capability. I'll also consult the Garageband people about it Even if Garageband doesn't have a fancy graphical mixer ...

You'd send that stream wherever you want it with whatever tools Garageband provides for these purposes. Here I have CuBase, and Sibelius, and in both hosts, each new instance of s...

OK, here is an option.... Grab sforzando and install that. http://www.plogue.com/downloads/ sforzando can open and play properly registered Garritan libraries. It only supports one instrument at a time (I call it a 'track instrument', where ARIA would be more like a 'rack' instrument), and has no bu...

Worth considering: I've been burned over the years with major OS upgrades. They usually get sorted out within' a year or so, but there's almost always something that gets broken in the short term! The number one gotcha in my experience is the hardware itself. If ALL of your hardware is new enough to...

I see you made an aggregate device in the Mac's Core Audio system. Does the Mac Version of ARIA have a 'preferences' option somewhere to make sure you've told it to use your freshly created aggregate? If not, you might drop a message on the Plogue site/forums to see what the ARIA experts have to say...
