So Its tax season and im looking to reasonably update my sound setup with some non stock synths and drum samples. however im currently using a macbook air with 8gb ram and a 1.7 dual core processor and i feel that may limit the practicality of libraries that use alot of cpu and ram. I have a huge ssd inside of it so storage is not a concern. unfortunately, it seems to two best bang-for-buck deals that fit my style of music and price range, would be komplete 10, or omnisphere. Omnisphere would normally win out, except for the fact that at the same price point (roughly) i would be able to get a free maschine mikro since theyre on a bundle sale right now. Komplete also comes with reaktor and kontakt which are both versatile and have alot of free third party packs you can get. So with all of that said, the deciding factor is....
TLDR: between omnisphere 2 and Komplete 10, which has lower load on your computer? I understand you can bounce and freeze and all that but its a huge pain in the ass. im concerned about komplete because one instance of their FX plugin "Molekular" takes up a third of my cpu usage.
