    free kontakt player and anything from the sister site by 0on3 is a solid way to get started with much worry.

    also there are a fuckton of giga and soundfonts around that are free if you want to take the time to make them sound betterer

    Dear @Reuben123, I'll just share my experience as I see you are considering NI products. I just took advantage of the 50% off an got myself the K12 Ultimate Collectors. I already had the K12, so it was 499 for me.. some things to consider IMHO:

    - the sentence to "Buy Kontakt and just download the libraries" everyone is quoting, shows that you have little experience with how things work in pirate-land ;). It takes some practice and experience. Of course, if you choose this route, we can and will help..:)
    - I would never buy NI individual products e.g. Session strings PRO. It is also true, that I don't make disco-funk only. This is because, if you later decide to buy Horns PRO and the Chic bass (Scarbe-MM) and maybe some keys.. you'll be way over Komplete12 bundles.
    - The truth is - for funk you need K12 Ultimate and you'll never even use 50% of the bundle.. but still. You have to be absolutely sure you only need this and that, otherwise. If you later decide to go for a bundle, you'll have double licenses.
    - Try to get a good deal on K12 Select or even better Standard and then upgrade for -50%. I got a 100$ voucher back then (downloaded K12 select free..). It's probably their marketing scheme, but you don't have the time. Look for cheap SW/HW bundles..

    For me the perfect scenario would still be "Try before you buy". Complete a project with "borrowed" things from the sister site and then buy what suits you. Maybe you'll find out NI isn't for you, or something..
    Good luck :wink:

    Off topic msg(!):
    If if wasn't for sister and this site, I would NEVER spent thousands of € on SW (and those HW toys). NI and others, take notes!

    Despite the fact that i actually have most of the licence, i 'm running most of my plugin with cracked version. Alwayz found it more convenient for me (on Os X at least). So technically i never seen any difference. This has been made entirely with crack (Battery 4, Omnisphere, Sylenth, Synthmaster, Kontakt)
