dave_weiss's Electronic Studio Setup

The answer is: 'I don't know'. All I can really say is why it's my go-to soft synth of choice. OK, the depth of this behemoth is unbelievable, it's like a fractal of deep-diving and synthesis, easy to navigate (after a while) and the sounds you can either utilise, buy or produce yourself are amazing. Installation and licencing is fairly simple, but I would advise watching a couple of You Tube videos that cover the process properly before you get started, just to familiarise yourself with some new jargon and to know where exactly you are putting the mammoth libraries involved here. The shining light of the software, for me, is the user connectivity you can link with your hardware hardware- so human/organic sounding performances are achievable with a few clicks of the mouse. Another thing I would say that makes Spectrasonics a fantastic developer is the product support- available: I had a few questions regarding re-installation on a different system and how the licencing works across multiple machines, and I have to say the response was fast, and friendly and very helpful, something that I have found very refreshing after trying to deal with another major developer. I have used Omnisphere constantly across every project I have worked on since buying it, and although it isn't exactly cheap, it does prove that the old adage of 'you get what you pay for' is very much realism in this world of synths.
