So I'm a musician who has been, for years, wanting to write and record an album (join the club, I know). I'm primarily a keyboardist and, through the use of virtual instruments, I would like to do the entire album myself. A one man show, so to speak, but convincing, as if a real band performed it.
I'm running Logic 9 on an original Intel Core Duo iMac and, while I absolutely love Logic, some of the sounds just aren't meeting my needs. Particularly the electric guitars, which not only don't sound that great, but are incredibly hard to blend in a mix (then again, that could say more about my mixing abilities). I write mostly pop/rock (think a hybrid between the Beatles/Beach Boys), so I'd like to purchase a virtual instrument set that provides as much realism towards band type instruments as possible (drums, keyboards/pianos, guitars, bass, strings, etc.).
One particular set I've been looking into is Kontakt 4, as I hear good things about it and it's cheaper than the newer edition. However, my knowledge in this area is very limited, so I'm curious what other suggestions (or comments) you guys might have, as I try to inch towards my quest.
Thanks!
