But ST3's a solid purchase even if you have Kontakt.Īll in all. depending on your budget, if you already have Kontakt and need something that doesn't have as much "shared content" so to speak, i'd look Omnisphere or maybe even Nexus (even though I think the sounds are getting kind of played out at this point and there isn't as much tweakability). I'd be nothing without Cinesamples lol.Īll in all. ST3 and their other libraries still make it an interesting comparison, but Komplete has just too much good stuff in it and the third party Kontakt libraries really rule. West Africa drums, Battery, Alicia's Keys, Monark is unreal etc).
grabbing the Komplete bundle and the sheer breadth of how much they give you, you eventually find things that you like (ie. The beauty of Kontakt is the third party libraries. Sampletank's stock library covers more ground to me w/ more "different" things. If I already had Kontakt and got the urge to ask about Sampletank, that's probably enough to grab sampletank, b/c you're clearly not satisfied w/ Kontakt alone if you're asking. But I can actually use some of these Sampletank synths. I get the urge to reach for a synth VST instead. I can't say the same for Kontakt either, I don't use the material all that much if ever honestly. And the synth sounds in Sampletank's stock library are very usable. They sound like there wasn't much time spent on them, I dunno.
The stock Kontakt strings aren't impressive to me. I hate trying to play slow attacking strings quickly to a HipHop rhythm, it never works out how I want it. The compressor took care of the attack on the strings perfectly. it's the exact string sound I envisioned for this song. I used their stock string and slapped on the LA2A compressor. but they give you a slim version that loads in Sampletank.) I just did a recreation of a song I made 5 years ago when I wasn't nearly as good as I am now. They give you some extremely good plugins (not the VST instance unfortunately, they weren't that nice.
Kontakt's stock library isn't all that to me, I think Sampletank has it beat easily in every department. If you're talking just Sampletank 3 vs Kontakt 5. You know, I had a long response written just now, but for some reason I thought you were comparing Sampletank 3 to Komplete, so I had to delete the entire thing!
