Trouble is . . . . no time to reinvent the wheel, life is too short, so many great preset libraries are out there and either Virus also has great patches or it doesn't. When you have whole songs to produce and arrange it isn't practical to have to build and tweak every time you want a sound. As an example consider classic sounds like the Roland 909, 808 ect - the same sounds used in thousands of songs and everybody loved them, there are lots of fanboys who say you have to create every sound but it's just not practical when you have songs to produce and finish, great preset patches are important and do you think Virus has them or would I find 90% of them unusable as they are for dance/trance or am I best avoiding Virus and sticking with Sylenth which already has hundreds of great ones and Gladiator which I just demoed and literally found every sound was awesome. Everyone says Virus is the best but is the patch library it's weak point? Many Thanks!
