Michael A.D. Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 That VST Buzz Blakus cello may very well be excellent, (I've never tried it), but not to be confused with Embertone's Blakus cello for $99: https://www.embertone.com/instruments/blakuscello.php The VST Buzz cello is 70MB, while the Embertone version is 8GB (if you install both the 16bit and 24bit versions).

JoeGBradford Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Nope - another non Kontakt owner here 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cclarry Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 Full Kontakt is worth having JUST for the free Libraries you can get like the Sonokinetic ones, and a plethora of others...and you can get it cheap by getting the Seinnheiser FREE drums, and then crossrading to it! I don't know why any serious music maker wouldn't have it. It's a staple of music production just about everywhere. Granted you can do fine without it, but you can do a lot better with it IMO! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a free library like Embertone's Arcane, wait for upgrade sale in summer, upgrade to Kontakt full. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a fan of the interface, and while it does open up a lot of good libraries, even on super sale it isn't exactly cheap. (I think about $125-150 is as cheap as it gets??) If I was a MIDI nut or keyboard player, I'm sure it would be worth it. MIDI instruments are typically just filler in most of my work, and there are plenty of good ones (and cheap) that are not tied down to the NI software.

Best part is you'd get not just Kontakt but also Realtor, Massive, FM8, Absynth etc. And you'll also get some beautiful Kontakt libraries like Grandeur, Gentleman, Maverick, Una Corda, Giant, etc. Not to forget the effects. And Guitar Rig5 too. Even though it is trashed quite a lot, I personally find it really useful for quick practice and even for recording since it had got some brilliant FX 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 That Sonatina is still a nice free orchestra. Check out the demos by Aura Qualic. Clare and the trombone are worth getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
