KVR Audio

Given the size and scope of some developer’s portfolios and great value offered in their instrument and effect bundles, I am wondering if I could lead a more uncluttered, focused and productive musical life with just one DAW and a single dev. Thinking Arturia, NI, UVI, Rob Papen, Softube etc.

For me it would probably be Live and Arturia.

Just a thought experiment.

Interesting question

For me:
Native Instruments Maschine as DAW
u-he Everything Bundle for Instruments + FX

why tho? why not TWO developers? or really, why not simply 'the plugins you like the most'?

when i started with logic pro, i tried to use only logic's synths, etc. it was ok. but bringing in 3rd-party plugins made things so much better. so, personally, the only limitations i want are the ones i set myself...

Nope.

Although DAW + NI Komplete surely comes close. I wouldn't want to pass on other developers' stuff though.

I'd say I could get on fine with just Live Suite and a few Packs ... altho' I do like quite a few 3rd party plugins very much

I like KVR "thought experiments".
So...
Modartt. And since it has a recorder, I could maybe do without a personal DAW?

Thankyou. Don’t think I’ve been called a genius before.

I'd say FL Studio + all of their instruments is the most flexible package out there, unless you need a bunch of "real" instruments.. if that's the case then I think possibly Steinberg + all of their offerings is the way to go.

Full Logic/Mainstage and the complete Spectrasonics Lineup?

Maybe.

Bitwig for sure, but sticking to a single developer for plugins doesn't sound like a lot of fun.

Sure, I could easily get by with just Logic and my real instruments and hardware/outboard gear. I wouldn't even need a second instrument developer, but if I did, it would probably be Spectrasonics for Omnisphere and Keyscape.

There is the obvious bitwig+u-he with the fantastic CLAP collaboration....

Could you live with one DAW and one developer’s bundle?
