I'm producing since about 1 year after dj'ing for seven years.
Started out with warez... but i hate it when i get viruses or other damaged software.
So now i reached the point where i want to format my PC and step over to legally bought software.
I have no unlimited resources so i have to start with:
1x Ableton Live 8 (perhaps the normal version is enough for me.. don't need the suite version)
1x VSTi Synth.
Because i only have the money for 1 (or maybe 2) soft synth i would like to have a bread an butter plugin. I mainly aim at genres like techno, techhouse and minimal.
i'm now taking the next vst's as an option:
Sylenth1: sounds good, nice GUI, no PWM, perhaps bit outdated
NI Massive: sounds very good, bit confusing GUI, CPU heavy
U-He Zebra or Ace: Nice GUI, sounds good, "coloured and recognizable sounds
Rob Papen Predator: ok GUI, sounds ok, lot of possibilities (i also had a synth workshop at Rob Papen's studio last year.. was very nice)
Arturia synths (like jupiter, moog etc): Love the design, sounds good, but maybe a bit to vintage to fit correctly in modern dance music (techno/techhouse/minimal)
I also use the launchpad, nocturn and axiom 25 (soon replaced by novation sl 49 mk2)
Is there someone who has another good tip for me?
I really love the sounds of romplers like Nexus2... but i want to tweak and design sounds.. so no rompler for me (right now)
