Ok, I'm contemplating the next big step.
Save for my MS2000R, I work almost 100% inside the computer. I think I'm developing some strong skills in this medium and I don't see any reason to change at this point. Not to mention, it's a far more portable and cheaper than owning tons of hardware.
I own these soft synths: FM7, Pro52, B4, Absynth, and the EVP73.
Now I'm looking for BIG, realistic, orchestral type sounds to compliment these. I've tried messing around with .wav samples, but it always turns out sounding like just a sequence of.... well... samples. Reading about the GigaStudio (which I assume is the softsynth version of the GigaSampler?) makes me think this might be the tool I'm looking for. So here are my questions:
1. Does the GigaStudio really give you reasonably natural articulation of acoustic instruments?
2. How much system resources does it eat up?
3. I see some orchestral libraries costing from $1k up to $4k! Since you can't use universal file formats like .wav, is GigaStudio just a money pit that locks you into a dedicated format?
Thanks!
