The DAW discussion should probably have been a seperate video, as it will draw in comments that have nothing to do with the sales.
I have used Opcode Vision, Studio Vision, eMagic Logic, Apple Logic, Cubase on Atari ST and Mac, Reason and am now super happy using Reaper for $60 and at least 2 years of updates for free. It is super flexible if you want to put in the time and just as pro as any.
actually I am happy I brought up daws because cubase has a sale now and I am interested in comments such as yours about Reaper for 60 and 2 years free updates. That is great info. That may be a good choice for someone on a budget or anyone who wants a full daw but not high upgrade prices.
@@41Fingers I also had comments about plugins and such (for example: you know so much!) but I had to mention Reaper as the company behind it is not in it for the money but they still made and update a very professional environment for all of us.
Also, I was going to choose Ableton Live but decided for Reaper and spend the hundreds of dollars I saved on good plugins.
I really enjoy your videos, keep them coming Sir!
@@rayderrich Thanks for sharing that with the channel. really good info as I look for companys that are not driven by just profits but the love of music.
I used Cubase a few years ago. Nice to use but resource heavy and I got fed up with the bugs and the constant update fee. I switched to Reaper. Hard to find fault. Tiny footprint for such a powerful system so very well written. If you are comfortable with spreadsheets you will be just fine with the 'grid' system :).
@@MartinJG100 Martin thanks for sharing that
Great info and video. I'm also a big fan of the VSL academy page. It was a lot of help when I was first starting out many years ago!
Hey Alex, thx for your comments, really looking forward to your next video!
By far the best review I've seen. I was looking at VSL Ensemble 7 as it seems to come with the Synchron Player and a full 70gig orchestra for about $200. What held me back was the licensing dongle thing and thinking I must have got something wrong at that price. Anyway will look at it again.. if it really is $200 CDN ... no brainer
Great David, and I think they are moving to a better license system in the new year
Paid $160 USD for Logic Pro a few years ago and have never paid for an upgrade since. Logic come with a lot of ok internal plugins which can help you put off investing in sample instruments for a bit.
The downside to Logic is its a Apple only product. But that can be good if you’re already in the Apple ecosystem.
Thanks for your comments. could be helpful to someone considering Logic
@@41Fingers This vid is one of the best balanced reviews of holiday specials I’ve seen to date. You have saved me time and $.
On the subject of Spitfire they make good products and their customer service has been responsive so far. They also have a couple of freebies. They offer a free monthly plugin by subscribing to their LABS products mostly atmospheric strings, sampled guitars and stringed instruments etc. They also offered a stripped down version of their BBC Symphony orchestra for free if you’re willing to wait a few weeks. Sorry I can’t compare them to the other orchestral products you mentioned as I don’t have experience with those.
BTW I’ve also heard the people at pluginbotique referencing your channel when it comes to getting remidi and scaler working together.
Thanks for your insight.
@@mantrinbago thanks for that info, I am sure that will be helpful to someone.
Hey thanks for the video...
Studio one is really doing Great...
Pecx is always on 50% sale .... still do you recommend that I shall wait till Christmas?
Why you did not lay emphasis on Black Friday sale ?🤔
Md hi. I frankly don't know all the black friday sales going on, so I kept it to more general thoughts on sales.
LOL what a name AMPLE.... does it mean knock off SAMPLE ?
