With all the ponderings in this time of Spring sales, I have been asking myself a question: should I focus my purchases on one developer, or should I spread out? The developer in case is Spitfire Audio, whose wishlist sale will engage tomorrow. I have practically decided I want to buy 1) unique drums (to add another flavor to my Toontrack stuff 2) versatile synth sounds 3) some real melodic instruments - Brass especially) for my indie pop/rock/singer-songwriter hobby.
So, for synths, going with Spitfire this wishlist sale I could acquire EDNA Earth + Kinematik + Martyn Ware for 178,20. 2/3 of this is NKS - a huge bonus for me.
But, I could also engage with another developer I have eyed for a long time: Output. They have a sale on their 'everything' bundle which would cost me 492. All NKS.
For drums, there's is Spitfire The Grange which demo's/walkthrough I like very much. Would cost me 149,40, and no NKS. Or maybe I should save that money and go UJAM once these are on sale again? Not sure about their NKS-compatibility.
For Brass Spitfire offers a lot: SSB would be 419,40 (SSB + SSW: 665); SStB pro 239,40 and SStB core 119,40. All NKS.
Or should I go for the CSB - once they come on sale -, as the Cinematic series gets so much love on this site? I have never dipped into this developer, yet.
There's also the new Modern Scoring Brass at Audiobro - another developer I have never got into. Still on intro, at 599. Fully NKS, but also: fairly intimidating, from the look of their webpage. Might be too much for me.
Ah, decisions, decisions. Anybody help me?
I am pretty sure I will get Spitfire's Aluphone though (29,40 - no NKS).
