[Absynth] Re: Most-Used Softsynths -- informal survey

I use Reaktor & Guitar Rig on a daily basis. Its taken a while but I've gotten
so that I can build
ensembles pretty quickly and the routing is killer in Reaktor. I've also been
exploiting Battery
for spotting SFX. Its a fast way to track up hard fx like phones, steps, doors
etc and is really
great for playing walla and BG sweeteners. Trigger Finger -Battery and a few
passes through
a scene - done. Faster than poking through libs with a search. For music stuff
FM8, Pro53
and Arturia CS80V always seem to make the cut.

I have been strongly considering a Mac Book because of it's stability, the fact that it can handle all the soft synths that I use and use a few that I can't...
