do the math!

If you don't need the choirs, then Gold + project Sam, or WIVI will give you extra sounds to your pallete.

Soundsonline.com is having a buy one get one free offer right now! If you get Platinum you CAN get something else of equal or lesser value for free!

Not saying is not good, it's excellent, I use it myself (EW products in general), but saying that when you are willing to spend above $1000, not listening to someone who takes the time to try and explain and share some of his experience can be a bad tactic! Not that you should go about what I say, but at least take notice, instead of NOT caring about what I say.

And do wait for others to chime in. Offers won't go away in a day!

And be more specific to what you want and what computer you have: Platinum bundle is a total of 138 GB! Do you have a hard disk to fit that? The CPU to handle that? The RAM to load that? The sequencer to use that? The monitors or at least great headphones to hear the difference between 16-bit and 24-bit (Gold - Platinum). etc. Buying one thing won't make you better, if you can't use it, or don't know how to use it.

For the record I still use Gold bundle. I don't do 5:1 yet, and I don't do DVDs yet, so the 24-bit is not crucial. I have a great reverb and mix other things as well, which opens the mind and sound very much!
