I suggest just choosing something you want to try and DOING it that way. If you decide that it isn't working for you, switch over to software/hardware. It's that easy. Just find what works for you and is fun. |
this is one of the greatest things about the music tech world. There is no right or wrong way to go about this. The old school samplers have their plus points, especially in the less than 16 bit area (IMO). I still have a mirage and emax rack that I will never part with. ( The emax sounds soooooo good!!! + analog filters - but I just re-sample it most of the time). I guess my reason for going software is that it is so much quicker to navigate and the things kontakt can do, can not be done with any other sampler that exists. I also converted my whole ESI32 collection over to kontakt automatically. While not 100% accurate it was amazingly close. Also you can do so much more. Its 1 format and you can load it into anything you want and manipulate it to your hearts content.
My vote is for classics for their character and software for its options.
There are too many good things out there to be a purist of anything!
