I'm in a bit of a state of confusion and hope I can get some clarity here. I have been looking at various software plugins/stand alone synths etc. Lets assume for the moment that I have basically nothing but a PC Daw with Sonar and a controller (which is just about accurate) and that I'm going to be playing and recording jazz and pop music generally. I have very little experience with these things at this point and keyboard is not my primary instrument.
I was looking at Sonik Synth 2 and Sample Tank. Sounds seem very good and both heve gotten good reviews. How do these compare to Kontakt and Kompakt? Are they mutually exclusive or do people use both? I'm sure this opens up a real can of worms, but am I just better off saving the money and buying a hardware module?
Finally, in light of the Garritan Personal Orchestra Group buy, I was also looking at that. I'm not sure I would use it all the time, but it certainly does seem to have some nice sounds to add to a collection.
Any thoughts, insight, experience with the above, would be VERY helpful and appreciated.
There are many things I am interested in purchasing and I am just trying to give some priority to the pending purchases.
Thanks in advance.
