Hey ppl,
I decided to go for a virtual sampler instead of buying a hardware sampler. Have i made the right decision, and if i had, which v-sampler is the best (Steinberg Halion, creamware volkszampler, native instrument battery or any other)?
Thanx in advance,
Tom.

Halion seems to be fine - does its job.
haven't tried battery ...or volkzampler.
do you have a pulsar ?

No, i don't have a Pulsar, but volkszampler doesn't need a pulsar to run with (although it improves the performance).
I have tried all the v-samplers mentioned above, and liked Halion the most.
Just wanted to hear another opinion.

When using Logic Audio, I find its EXS24 sampler the best virtual sampler upto date.
Using minimum CPU process and maximum RAM (u need 256 minimum if you want to make a full track) it's giving the best performance.
HALion might be the best after this one.
Choose what you need by the software u use...
I suggest u on Logic Audio but if still using Cubase - HALion is your choice because there is no good EXS24 VSTi out there as the built-in Logic one.
Enjoy |

Excuse me, but how can the quality be ): ?
By any chance, doesn't it depends on the quality of the samples?
A hardware sampler beats a soft sampler only in performance, but if your computer is strong enough, than everything's cool, right?
Please explain yourself,
Tom.

Try the EXS24 - good one, or the Virtual Samper (this one is CPU eater!), Halion is good too, the question is about what samplers we talking? stand-alone (try the wave surgeon, mobius, re-cycle) or hosts? |

Oh, i'm interested in a (preferably VST) plug-in based soft sampler.
I've tried the Virtual sampler and didn't really liked it (it has a cute DX-7 emulation, though).
Well, i guess i'll go with Halion (since i'm using Cubase).
Thnx all

hi there
yes using a software sampler is not a bad idea!
steinberg's halion is one of the top sw sampler over all. however if you use cubase, go and buy halion or a similar v sampler (you will find alot in any search engines). but if you use logic audio, an internal sampler is already included.
this one has features like reading from AKAI cd's what is really important, if you want to use a sw sampler.
to be short... if you want to buy a hardware sampler... you will not need any audio edititing software or little fx etc. but if you have a good, fast computer... try the use of sw sampler, audio editing tools (like cooledit pro or sonic foundry, etc.) to get the same use as of a hardware equipment.
cheers folks. |
