[ddots-l] Re: Omnisphere sounds

Bryan,

I personally wouldn't recommend either atmosphere or omnisphere for great, 
natural-sounding, woodwind, string, brass, or other natural instruments. I 
would label them as average at best. Just my opinion, though. A better synth 
for that kind of stuff is EastWest's colossis. The only drawback to that is 
that you need sighted help to copy and paste the presets into sonar. Otherwise, 
it isn't accessible.

  Subject: [ddots-l] Omnisphere sounds


  All of you people using Omnisphere, what is your opinion of the sound quality 
in terms of bread and butter sounds? All of the demos that I've found are full 
of amazingly pulsing, throbbing, morphing, arpeggiating, swirling textures and 
synth tambers. That sounds great for creating atmospherics, or for scoring 
television action shows. However, how well does Omnisphere serve as a general 
purpose go-to instrument? For example, I have lots of plugs if I want drums, 
pianos, electric pianos, guitars, and synths. However, when the odd situation 
comes up, and I need a sax, a ukulele, a harpsichord, or a sitar, I need a 
general purpose synth to go to. I've used various things for that over the 
years, but I'm now in a spot where the old stuff like Hypersonic isn't 
available anymore on Win 7, and I'm trying not to use hardware synths anymore, 
so can't just track in something from one of those.

  So, how do you rate it for general purpose sounds?

  Bryan
