I'm a beginner and so far I mostly use free plugins. now, I want to start building my toolbox.
My budget is limited so I want to make the right choices, to get the basics needed.
Because there are not many (high quality) virtual instruments that are free, I thought I'd get some pianos, strings, wind instruments, guitars (acoustic and electronic), and different instruments to experiment with different genres. Maybe ,in the future, to build my own musical instruments.
Is kontakt the best option for this? Is the factory library enough for a start? According to what is written here, I should first buy a third party library (for the discount). What is recommended?
