Re: komplete vs. ableton

[Christopher Darrow <thedarrow@gmail.com>]

I've been disappointed with Komplete's electronic sounds, which is kind of 
their focus. Butt the organ, orchestral, and piano sounds much better then 
what you'd get in Ableton. And Guitar Rig is great. Very happy with those. 
FM and Electric piano are pretty good, definitely worth it. But I have yet 
to find many  sounds that I really resonate with in syth and bass sounds. 
I find most everything in Absynth and much of what's in Massive... well, 
soulless, annoying crap. Obviously, that's subjective, so it's really up 
to you. My advice is to really listen to all the demos over and over and 
trust your feeling about them rather then think you'll surely find stuff 
you like even if you don't hear it in the demo just because there's so 
much content to choose from because you very well might not. (Or might not 
find it through all the stuff that does not resonate.)

Good luck! I'd be curious to know what you choose in the end and why.
