trying to pinpoint which product to drop $400+ dollars on when they basically do the same things. If anyone cares to chime in still, please do! Plus, Richard Henshall of Haken uses East West Quantum Leap sound libraries for their recordings, and that alone is a pretty damn good swaying point for me. Goliath right now seems to cover a lot of ground for a compelling price, and EQ/QL has a pretty damn good rep with the audio crowd.
Also, I have no use for things like Guitar Rig and Massive, and have heard that the piano add-ons in Komplete are pretty bad. Which is okay, because I plan on getting Omni down the road anyway. I've also read that the synths are kind of "cold" sounding, and don't hold a light to Omnisphere in the slightest. I would use Kontakt for sure, but I've heard that everyone and their dog uses this VST and that the sounds are becoming somewhat stale to the recording crowd. After reading many forum threads on X vs Y vs Z, it seems that Komplete is a great package, but comes with a lot of bulk. I'm now kind of looking away from Komplete 8 though. They all sound great to my ears and very sufficient for what I need. I know Sam MJ above mentioned that the reverb was sort of baked into the samples for Quantum Leap stuff. Is this the only sort of all-rounded package offered by EW/QL? It's got 40gb and certainly seems to cover pretty much everything I need, and Goliath comes in at about $250! Nonetheless, I still have a few questions. All the bells and whistles to tinker and create new soundsįeel free to comment with any and all opinions! Let's hear what you guys like to useĬlick to expand.I think my first option has swayed from Komplete 8 to Goliath now. High quality piano, organ, horn, etc samples to use with my midi controller for recording. Atmosphere patches for ambient sections and sound design. Great sounding synths and strings for progressive music (think DT/Chimp Spanner/Porcupine Tree etc) I have no experience with Alchemy either, but I just skipped through a demo video on youtube that sounded fantastic. I have no experience with Komplete, but have heard samples used in Kontakt and they sound pretty great. However, it always felt lacking to me because of the absence of proper raw instrument samples like pianos, horns, ethnic percussions, etc. The interface is well presented and easy to use, and many of the included samples are of incredible quality. I'll start by saying that I have used Omnisphere in the past and very much enjoyed working with it. In this thread I would love to hear your opinions on products such as Omnisphere, Kontakt/Komplete, Alchemy and any others of which you've had experience with or would recommend!

I've just switched my PC rig over to my new laptop, and have begun the search to find the ideal VSTi synth to accompany S2.0 and my AxeFX 2.
