Hi, forum newbie here who's just dipped a toe into VSL with the recent BF promos.
Blown away by the quality of the libraries compared to anything I've tried before - and that's just the Synchronized SE1 and VSO!
Anyway, as a dabbling (non-classically trained) piano player, the thing that I'm enjoying most is the D-274 Light version in SSE1.
I'm very tempted to pick up a full version of either Steinway or the CFX, or the standard version of the bundle, with the current voucher offer.
I've listed to demos over and over, I *think* I like the Steinway more, though this might be because I can get my fingers on the Light version.
I realise the full libraries offer far more mic options (particularly like the ribbon mic and maybe the tube?) but I can't work out if the added value of these offset the variety that the bundle offers. I like the Light Steinway with the close mic only , aswell as with the room mix (reverb off!). Just playing for the love of it - I'll not be producing any recordings any time soon! I definitely can't afford the full bundle.
TL;DR - So, really grateful for a steer - for a player (not producer), the CFX full, D-274 full, or the standard bundle?
Many thanks!
