Virtual Instrument Plugin dilema

TML · 27th January 2012

So I have the Avid VI pack... Structure, strike,expand, velvet and transfuser on an old Mac Laptop. I'm contemplating getting a new I7 with a solid state drive. I'm finding m ore people who record with me don't want to get into older midi keys and have to play.. quantize and rerecord. there's no time in the budget. I have a kawai 9000, a Kurzweil 2661 and a D-50 I would smoke to get the laptop and a good piano plug like Ivory and a controller like the Axiom. I've been playing keys for 25 years and it's scary going all software but after checking out Guitar Center,,, there's like 5 performance keys and 50 controllers. Times are changing. I'm not a big programmer. Though I love some of the stock 2661 sounds.. their dated.. hard to program.. still need scsi drives and was discontinued in 08. Any thoughts appreciated.

When I went virtual I used Redmatica's Autosampler to capture the custom sounds from my MIDI hardware.

AutoSampler

It now supports more formats now, making the transition easier.

Wondering how plugs rank with hardware. Not in love with 2661 sounds. There good. But I never gt know programming or loading new ones.
