Welcome to the forum, @brianchilders1. For the project that’s no longer playing back any sounds, try choosing **Play** \> **Playback Template** and re-applying the default playback template. Hopefully that will restore playback immediately.

You need to combine the two libraries in the same Playback template to be able to apply the two libraries with the **Apply and Close** button of the Page Templates dialogue. To make this you can edit a copy of one Factory PT and add the Endpoint Configuration/s of Garritan and set the Family and Instruments overrides, etc…
