Depending on what you need/want, you can get something like hypersonic
which
is an overall synth that tries to accomplish a bit of everything and has
something for every category. Or, for guitars, get RealGuitar for
acoostic,
or realStrat for electric guitar sounds. This is perhaps the best guitar
soft synth I've played... Both made by MusicLab. For drums you have a
bunch
of options, but the most accessible to be and great sounding is superior
drummer 2 or EZDrummer, both by toontrack (makers of drumkit from hell).
For horn sounds, SampleModeling makes the trumpet, and Mr. sax. These are
supposedly the best in the category. They are library samples that use
kontakt, but if you can get a pair of eyes to help you save the 7-10
presets
in sonar, assign all the nobs to midi, and the instrument is easy to
use...
HTH, D!J!X!

Subject: [ddots-l] Soft synth request
Ok guys, if I have never perchased a soft synth before, where would I
start?
I have always used hard synths for my recordings.
It could be me, but the soft synths that comes with Sonar don't empress
me.
Maybe I just don't know how to tweak them.
I'm mainly interrested in guitar, horns and especially drums.
Any input on this subject would be appreciated.
Cheers!
Mark
