How many synths do you need?

to my knees!
hooky style!

Hooky Rulez!!!

he once called me a "daft c word"
was walking up the stairs in front of him and tripped over.
we did have a few conversations too, but mainly just small talk, nothing interesting.
he was rehearsing at a friend's place for a bit.

That's interesting!! I think he was always the most approachable of all of them.

Daft c word is a term of endearment.

The action figure thing kills me, been meaning to collect all of Iron Maiden’s so I can get them
autographed.

I won’t let them write on my guitars, but action figures, that’s another story…

[zerocrossing]

Now that is true. My studio can get quite warm with all those hardware synths running.

Dude from The Darkness be like: "Hold my beer"

I heard them on the radio after I Believe In A Thing Called Love came out and the lead singer talked like he pooped gilded rainbow sherbet. The interviewer asked if he was worried about a potential sophomore slump and he said something like, "no, it's going to be hits from here on out."

I never heard them on the radio again.

P.S. that wall of cabinets is either Photoshopped for an elaborate prop.

I bought one of those so my potty training daughter could get up on the toilet. I tried it, but honestly I don't have any problem with pooping and it just seemed weird. Great for toddlers, though.

? Again: sample libraries are plugins, for starters, so yes it can load VST and VST3 plugins.

Brilliant reply. Come up with that all by yourself, or did a teacher help?

[mixyguy2]

You can't just redefine established terminology.

Pot, meet kettle.

You are confused about a core aspect of IT - the difference between executable code and data files.

This has nothing to do with the topic at hand. PS: I was probably writing code for a living before you were even an idea.

Instead of posting more nonsense and making yourself look silly,

And again, the pot/kettle thing.

[mixyguy2]

You absolutely have no idea what you’re talking about.

No, that would be you.

A sample library is data that other software (like Kontakt) uses to create new data that is doled out in a sequence (well, fancier than that, but you get it).

? And?

A VST is a set of instructions.

So is a recipe for chocolate cake, so that's a woefully inadequate definition...but also not the topic at hand, so moving on...

Notice how there are no sample libraries that can work as stand alone instruments, but many plugins have stand alone versions.

Again: and? Having a standalone version has nothing to do with being or not being a plugin. Any library/VI/effects/utilities you use within your DAW is a plugin. It's something you "plug in" to your DAW, hence the term. This isn't hard.

Kontakt can not host plugins.

One more time: since VIs and sample libraries (which are really just more complex or "bundled" VIs) are plugins, yes, not only can it, but that is its reason for existence.

Good grief people. Let me guess, you think "bus" is spelled "buss" too.

Just because an incorrect thing becomes more commonly used doesn't make it any less incorrect. Don't be a sheeple.

If I was in your position, OP, I’d opt for one VA polysynth with character (possibly freeware, like Noisemaker or Tyrell N6) and one “do-it-all” synth (possibly freeware too, like Vital or Surge XT).

Other than a drums plugin of some kind (acoustic or electronic.. or both I guess), and a sampler (e.g., Decent Sampler), that should do it.

[HAL76]

Samplers still rule and can catch the harmonics to make a sound stand against a saturated guitar as well.

[audiojunkie]

Agreed! I love samplers! There aren't very many good ones in hardware form anymore. I sure would love a modernized version of an Akai S6000 or Z8. That would be a dream!!!
