April 21, 20205 yr 7 years ago I bought EW. Couldn't use it because it HOGGED all of my power. I finally been able to use it on this same aged iMac. However, because of the 20Gigs and High Sierra OS It has been running SMOOTH!!!!!!!!! So Yes, I recommend EW. Also, for 2 dollars....yes 2 dollars, I bought Majestic Horn. It is the best French Horn so far. and for that price!!!
April 21, 20205 yr Kontakt is a good sample engine in my experience. I also had to upgrade my ram a while back and although it sometimes gets taxed, it runs pretty darn smooth. I think eastwest is less taxing on my cpu than kontakt, but context (or should I say, kontext) dictates this. I think eastwest is a smart option, cheap, efficient and comes with composer cloud. However, you can load a lot of 3rd party vsts into kontakt that aren't expensive, so it's nice to have both.
April 23, 20205 yr I'm personally hoping that both soon go the way of the dodo. I think the ubiquity of Kontakt is stifling innovation in sample libraries.
