Garritan Personal Orchestra Crashes Logic

I recently purchased Garritan Personal Orchestra to use in Logic express. The other day I created some tracks. When I went to open the project today everything loads (eventide plug in, UVI workstation) but crashes when it gets to PO and its Aria player. NOw it seems I can't open anything. Any thoughts as to how I can fix this issue? Thanks...

Garritan Personal Orchestra with Logic?

Is anyone here using the Garritan Personal Orchestra with Logic?
How stable is this within Logic, any troubles?
Also, how do the solo string instruments sound, realistic or synthy?

I have absolutely no problems with using the Garritan Personal Orchestra (GPO) with Logic. Currently, the GPO uses Native-Instrument's +Kontakt 2 Player+ as do many, many other instrumental libraries. With that in mind, the other instrumental libraries (powered by +Kontakt 2 Player+ ) work just fine with Logic as well. Very shortly, though, the GPO will be coming out with its own "player" called Aria. To make a somewhat long story short, Aria works just fine with Logic as well.
As for the sound of GPO's solo string instruments. . . . I tell you, any of the sounds can and do sound unrealistic or synthy if played without manipulation. What makes them sound quite realistic is a tiny bit of effort with controlling the volume, vibrato, and a couple of audio parameters that can (and should) be manipulated during the sequencing process. But this is true for most if not ALL orchestral libraries made by any of the other instrumental software companies. For just a little under $200.00 (USA) dollars, you get a whole LOT of orchestral instruments that sound quite convincing. . . with a little effort! I would say that GPO is an EXCELLENT orchestral library to start with if you plan on doing lots of orchestral compositions for almost any musical situations. If you're like me, than you might want to later invest in other orchestral libraries and use them in combination with the GPO library. Again, with a little effort, one can achieve an even MORE realistic sound using combinations of instrumental software libraries.
But I suggest that you simply visit the GPO site. There you'll find a HUGE selection of demos that show off the GPO library in a very convincing way! I have heard examples by people who put a whole LOT of effort in their sequencing project that just sound very, very life-like! So not only did they put LOTS of effort in manipulating the individual orchestral sounds (including strings), but they put LOTS of effort in planning careful instrumental placement in the stereo field, proper use of reverb, EQing, etc., etc. There truly are examples of very life-like sounding orchestrations using GPO on the official web site! (There are also some very less than convincing examples as well.) So, take some time and explore the web site: http://www.garritan.com.
You'll find even MORE examples at: http://www.northernsounds.com
Good luck with your decision. . .
Ted
P. S. Just for a little clarification. . . . the +Kontakt 2 Player+ (that currently houses GPO and many other instrumental libraries) can be a bit of a challenge to configure to work properly with the multi-instrument function found within Logic Pro 8. It's also a bit of a CPU and memory hog. But with some adjustments and some proper configuration, the +Kontakt 2 Player+ and its instrumental libraries that it powers will work just fine with Logic.

Garritan personal orchestra and Logic

Hi all,
I just bought the Garritan personal orchestra and installed it but when I open Logic it keeps crashing validation in the AU manager and if I tick it anyway Logic just crashes.
What to do?
Any ideas please.
JBlen

JBlen,
I had the same problem, and it's maddening. The answer is that you have to load all GPO instruments as 'stereo.' It's some compatibility problem with Native Instruments' Kompact player.
Load 'em as stereo and you should have no problems.

Hi every body,
First of all sorry for my bad english I'm from Switzerland
I myself acquired one east west choirs, and I encountered the same kind of problems.
But I have a new mac pro 2.4 Ghz 12 GB RAM processor 2*6 core.
It Looks like I should be able to hack the pentagon to install this program correctly.
First, it often bugs, it crashes 2/5.
It also crashes when I load the WordBuilder,
when I load a bank, and I add one more, there are problems with the transpose. And very difficult to manage the problem touching the transpose cause bank load more than 8-10 samples and sometimes nothing moves when you touch the transpose.
Notes are also arranged on the keyboard completely strange way, for example, a bank plays in C in the middle of the keyboard and the same bank plays in G to the bottom notes, so you're in big **** even if you manage your transpose problem. The same instrument change tone!
So when I mix the bank I find a lost bottom note, lost at the top of the keyboard while playing and angelic note by mistake! The only way it's tu put down the transpose to get off this note but after you turn back with your tonality problem.
I contacted the dealer. He told me to uninstall the program and the re-install, describing me a procedure for mac which steps doesn't really appears like in the dscription.
I bought extansion that goes with this and I'm really angry given the price $ 600.
Is there someone who knows what program it is, is it a big scam or a monumental BAD series???
I wanted to buy the strings and brass too, but I strongly believe that I'll never approach an east west product or other product that would use the PLAY WIZARD, it seems they decide to sell technology that is not at all successfull and finished.
Could someone help, some one who has got this application and could answer; even if it's to hear "throw this **** to garbage and forgot" lol

Logic Express - Garritan Personal Orchestra - Kontact player 2

Nutshell: I have Garritan Personal Orchestra and Kontakt Player 2 (also Sibelius 5). I want to be able to lay down live tracks using my USB MIDI keyboard. I have tried Audacity but it won't work - although it does on Windows!
Would Logic Express allow me to do just this? ie import & use not just the sounds that come with it but the Garritan sounds or the NI instruments that come with Sibelius 5.
Thanks
Nick

ok, sussed it! install Garritan with the Audio Units option (go to Custom install)
Then, restart your mac... From Logic Express, start a new track (Software Instrument) and select it. From the left-hand mixer line click the blank grey box underneath I/O and select AU Instruments -> Native Instruments -> Kontact Player 2

I am trying to connect Garritan Personal Symphony to Logic Express and Garageband. A dialog box pops up and asks for plugin Garritan-P. Where do I find it and what do I do with it. I can't locate this plugin doing searches on any of the porgrams.

Garritan Personal Orchestra

Hi. Does anyone have any idea how to set up Garritan Personal Orchestra on an Intel Mac in Logic 8? Have tried Garritan website but , their info only concerns Logic 7.
Any info very much appreciated.

Been several months, so I don't remember all the details, but I do remember it as being not that big of a deal. I think it involved updating Kontakt player.
Ahh, yes, I think this should explain it/get you on your way:

Garritan Personal Orchestra on Intel Macs?

Hi folks...
Before I buy the Garritan Personal Orchestra for my Macbook Pro, I was wondering if any users know whether how this would run on an intel mac, (I have not used any non-Logic plug ins before).
It doesnt appear to be availbale in universal binary. I assume it will then run through Rossetta. Is this correct? If so, what kind of drop in performance might be expected? Is it possible to use non-universal plug ins on an intel driven Logic system?
With best wishes,
S.

I certainly would not be too confident in it running under Rosetta.
GPO is a reasonably hungry plug for a sampler. (the Kontakt engine isn't real efficient on the Mac platform at this point in time, compared to EXS for example).
GPO is great value for money, but since it isn't available as a UB, I wouldn't touch it as yet. It will be available eventually, as will all the Kontakt engine sample libraries.... but not yet!

Garritan Personal Orchestra Not Available

Hi,
I'm running Logic Express 7.2 on an Intel Mac. I just installed Garritan Personal Orchestra and it is not visible in Logic. Is there something I need to do in Logic to let it know that it's in there or is it something in Garritan?
Thanks
Pete

The Mac Intel update is on the NI site, has been for 2 or 3 days.
You will need to get the Kontakt Player 2.2.1 update with updated Garitan library items.
Once installed, in Logic you select Kontakt Player 2, (I think in the previous version you had to select GPO), apart from that it's all working fine.
If you registered your version the update is free from NI

Logic Express and Garritan Personal Orchestra

Hi. Please can somebody explain (simply!) how to access Garritan sounds in Logic Express 8.
Many Thanks
Nick

Straight from the Garritan website:
http://www.garritan.com/GPO-features.html
+No Sampler Required:+
+The collection comes integrated with the acclaimed Kontakt Player 2 sample player from Native Instruments and works as a virtual instrument. No need to purchase a separate sampler. You can adjust a number of parameters – variability, tuning and other audio characteristics – so you can control the sound of each instrument individually.+
If you installed GPO, create a Software Instrument track using the Kontakt 2 AU plugin.

Anyone using Garritan Personal Orchestra from an external HD?

I'm trying to transfer samples to my new external drive, and am having trouble with GPO. I tried making an alias for the GPO library folder, but with no luck. Anyone know how to do this? Thanks.

To restore the /User folder, you can use the procedure outlined in section III.C of "Mac OS X: How to back up and restore your files."
For the /Applications folder, you may or may not have much luck restoring its items from the backup. The reinstall of OS X (plus updates) will properly install bundled apps, so there is no need to restore them. For third party apps, some may work OK if just drag-copied into the new /Applications folder, but others won't. This is because many apps, particularly those that use installers, install supporting files in other locations, like /Library/Application Support, or in the Help system. Without a copy of the /Library or /System folder, you have no way to restore these items without doing a reinstall.

Colossus, Ivory and Garritan Persional Orchestra doesn't shown up

Hi all,
I've just installed Logic Express yesterday and migrating my stuffs from Cubase to it. Installed and validated Garritan Personal Orchestra, Colossus but they didn't shown up in LE. Stand-alone version works fine. I've checked the Plugins folder and the component files are there. My machine is a MacBook Pro.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Kenny.

It didn't even show up in the AU. Further researchs show that since my machine is an Intel mac, those plugins won't work, at least for now.
Thank you,
Kenny.

Loop Browser Crashes Logic

I have "upgraded" from Logic 7 to 8 (actually a downgrade in my opinion) and then to Logic 9. Now in L9, the Apple Loop browser crashes logic. It will not reindex. I can't play anything back, any activity in the browser crashes Logic. I've seen this post;
Rebuilding the loop index :
Quit Logic if it is open.
Place the folder /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index/ in the trash. (Note: GarageBand 1 and Jampacks 1-3 used a different location. See Where loops get installed for more information).
Open Logic.
Drag the folder /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/ from the finder into the Loop Browser in Logic.
Will this fix the problem? I'm concerned that this may screw up my browser in L7 or L8 both of which I continue to use. I also have a lot of 3rd party Apple Loops that are in the browser.. what will happen with these?
Any help is appreciated.
Dan Rad

Those instructions you found somewhere are probably fine, but you might as well use the Apple version. Follow this procedure: "Logic: Rebuilding the Loop Index."
It will probably solve the problem, and it won't do any harm.
If it doesn't solve the problem, there are some other things we can try, so let us know.

File Project Clean up is crashing Logic every time

File>Project>Clean up is crashing Logic every time. I just copied the project folder to a brand new external 1TB Glyph hard drive. Everything has been working fine. The project is very big, with about 120 tracks. I am sure that I have lots of files to clean up, as I have been working on this project for months, and I have auditioned probably hundreds of soft synths that I'm not using anymore. Simultaneously, the Universal Control software (that controls the Presonus Firestudio Tube software mixer) has gotten buggy and now freezes all the time. I've come to a stand still and am not sure where the problem is.

Having this same problem now.
Any luck with yours?
I found a workaround: I had a big project going with lots of different logic projects in one folder--thinking that would save time and space, because they referenced many of the same soundfiles.
I started doing cleanups after a while, and they started crashing logic, i got the spinning ball, the fan turned on immediately to high, activity monitor told me that logic wanted 100% of CPU time, and always had to force quit.
I took the latest project and created a new folder, stuck the project in it, opened the file, then saved, which copied all the soundfiles into that new folder. Then when i did a cleanup, it worked fine.
So it has something to do with, er, having too many projects in one folder? too many sound files referenced by too many different projects?
I don't know. But there exists this workaround.
HTH.

Can 32-bit plugins remain in plugin folder and not crash Logic?

Pre-sales question:
1) If you have any 32-bit plugins in the plugin folder, can they just be disabled in the Logic X AU manager, or do they crash Logic X upon launch? The reason I ask is because I wanted to keep some in the folder for when I use another DAW that doesn't have a problem with them.
Question on Logic 9:
2) If I am in Mountain Lion, and wanted to run Logic 9 at times, plus Logic X, does Logic 9 have to be set to run at 32-bit so that it could still use the 32-bit plugins?
3) If Logic 9 is running in 64-bit mode, can it access the 32-bit plugins in Mountain Lion?
I know the only thing will be that I can't open a Logic X session back in Logic 9, but I might want to bounce a quick part back in Logic 9 that uses a 32-bit plugin.
Thanks.

hi
1. Yes you can leave your 32bit plugins in Component folder. Logic X just ignore them.They don't crash LPX
2. Logic 9 can run with Logic X installed. It doesn't matter if you run LP9 in 32 or 64bit mode.LP 9 will work
as before.
3. Yes Logic 32bit mode can access 32bit plugins through the bridgre as before
