So I'm a musician who has been, for years, wanting to write and record an album. I'm primarily a keyboardist and, through the use of virtual instruments, I would like to do the entire album myself. A one person show, so to speak, but convincing, as if a real band performed it.
I'm running Logic 9 on an original Intel Core Duo iMac and, while I absolutely love Logic, some of the sounds just aren't meeting my needs. Particularly the electric guitars, which not only don't sound that great, but are incredibly hard to blend in a mix (then again, that could be my mixing abilities). I write mostly pop/rock, so I'd like to have purchase a virtual instrument set that provides as much realism towards band type instruments as possible.
One particular set I've been looking into is Kontakt, but I'm curious what other suggestions (or comments) you guys might have, as I try to inch towards my quest.
Thanks!
