I am a musician from the south of the UK, I like making music and playing with my synths. I've made game music and electronic music professionally in the past. I aim to keep on designing delightful and complex music for many years to come.

Instead of rewriting a new post I will say it here instead...I got a message today from someone on here that I won't name (as it's never fair to do so). Why I don't use sounds from the latest and greátest sounding VSTi synthesisers, and my short answer is as follows...Money don't grow on trees and most VSTi's which I have in my collection even though they are mostly secondary licenses which I have from work, which I use a chunk on my yearly salary as well as company finances to buy, cost in the region of nearly $300 a pop (about £250 in my money). As I own a professional studio, which as a company is audited and regulated, I can't afford to get VSTi's which are not licenced to me, i.e: this is why I still use synths like Vanguard, Nexus, Dune 2, Hydra, Praxis. My newest synths being Serum and Diva. (so in other words due to being professional business, I could risk fines or possibly law enforcement action, if one of my workstations go out to a gig and are found to have pirated software onboard). Everything you hear in my productions is licensed and I have never personally done downloads apart from the occasional freeware VST, mainly EFX and SFX. This is another reason why I use only 100% my own samples when it comes to my work as to avoid the cost of subsequent royalties.
If your serious in this game, you would do the same as there have been instances where even popular artists have been caught with "Team Air Software" running on there live rigs....Cough Avicii Cough!
So in a reply to my latest message, no I don't have enough money to own the best of the best and, if I did I wouldn't waste it at this stage on any more VSTi's as I'm doing more and more live gigs and mainly are using hardware, like samplers and keyboards (I nearly have enough money to get myself a Roland System 8 which can model any previous roland keyboard and synth and its good enough that Jean Michel Jarre has four of the units now at his disposal (but I do wonder if it maybe down product placement rather than anything else...we will see next month when I get hold of one!)
