for me it was the other way around. i realized i dont need the baggage and bloat of omnisphere to make similar sounds with the free shortcircuit, some of my own samples and an impulse convolution reverb.Kinh wrote:If you're serious about music production you're gonna get it eventually anyway whether you buy a whole bunch of other vsts first or not. It's inevitable. Omnisphere encompasses a lot so for that reason it makes sense to buy it first so you can make a decision on what sounds you dont have.
and i'm serious about making great sounding music. just check my kvr music tracker on my kvr user profile page. sure, get it if you are a hotshot movie score producer ala danny elfman or hans zimmer....$500 is a drop in their bucket. cant justify spending the cash for making music for personal enjoyment.
"make a descision on what sounds you dont have?" < a serious sound hoarder statement if i ever saw one.
i suppose you have used every sound omni comes with or plan to. right.
