I’ve been delving into the world of vi’s for a time now.
Theres a lot out there.
At the same time heres whats going thru my mind…
..ok so i got 100 kik drums…or a 100 whatevers <<name your instrumen//sample.
What one sounds the best for the song even after ive knocked the 100 down to 10...? how to choose.
..the above i’m going thru right now..after going thru a slew of bb rt’s ive got 40 final candidates
For ‘the backing band’ BUT i only need 10…eek ! but i like all 40…lol.

What i’m trying to say having recorded with everything from nig studio gear like 2 inch 24 trak mtrs//big consoles down to junk stuff…how much gear does one need…?
For me personally i find i do better when i have fewer choices.
The coming of daws//pc’s//bb//rb//reaps freed me frankly from big gear i once used.

What i’m trying to say in conclusion is we all want the best for any song we are working on…but how much gear do we need ? how does one pick the best kick drum or whatever instrument //..sample …out of the 40 one likes ?

Thus i’m gonna be prudent with vi’s…sometimes less is more...
my granpappy used to say 'everything in moderation includeing moderation'.
lets not forget the time it takes to go thru a zillion of some instrument//sample....and the menus etc.

Best
